English wasn't my best subject, but are apostrophes not also possessive?

the conclusion is that you shouldn't buy a raptor if you plan on driving on anything rougher than the george bush turnpike. problem solved.

Damn. So you think 635 would have done some damage too, huh?

Im not surprised. Its a $50k truck, not a trophy truck. Resale value is going to suck on these things, you'd be stupid to buy a used one.

oh em geez, it's not indestructible?? Ford should fix that!

Just checked mine and every thing is straight lol. I've run down a few trails and lots of dirt roads, but nothing like these guys. I did hit a wash out a little fast and slightly bent the front skid plate. Probably order the SDHQ fix just to be safe.

I would buy the raptor again just because it rides so damn good around town and down oilfield roads for work. In reality they aren't that much more than a fully loaded FX4.

Bullshit, Toby Keith already coverd this problem...

[Silverback]

In the 90s, I had an Isuzu Rodeo 4WD.

I was out at the local mudding area, trying to pull someone out and burned up the clutch.

I got it towed to the dealership covered in mud, and they promptly told us that the clutch wasn't covered because of abuse. Truck had about 7,000 miles on it.

After a few calls from an attorney family member, and a tape of the old Isuzu commercial with the truck flying through the birthday cake, in mud. My clutch was replaced, and the truck was washed, and returned under warranty.

Eventually Ford may have a problem with this if the right attorney gets involved, but it's a fine line between proving abuse, and what the truck is built to do.

If you shattered you back window by dumping a ton of bricks into the bed of your truck like the commercial, would they cover that?

I bent a wheel one time on the wife's Yetta. Still well within the warranty. I was working in construction at the time, so having it parked at the trailer it got dirty as sin, expecially during the winter/spring. Anywho, I took it to the VW dealership and they tried to get it warrantied, but the home office wasn't buying it because of the dirt/mud on it. They took it around back and detailed it and send in the request again, and bam, a new wheel and tire.

After that esperience I've never taken a vehicle in for any type of service when it's dirty. Just a reason to deny the claim.

[Pooter]

Any mechanical engineers want to explain why its bending up basically? I would think the opposite would happen from jumps/heavy loads?

I would think from offroading/abuse with the jumps it would sag in the middle instead of whats happening? Or is due to the front hitting first and "taco'ing" up in the middle with the flex?
