Mallard Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Nice! Congrats on the new Jeep! It's insane out of the hole when you use the launch control. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I saw the exact Jeep yesterday in Grandview. Love it, too bad about the Raptors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCode04 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 It was almost fully loaded at $98k MSRP. Tough to get all the options under $100k these days. Congrats, sick vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Pretty awesome for sure. I feel your pain on the Ford. My brand new F150 has been at the dealership for 2.5 weeks with no resolution to a misfire issue. Not impressed so far. Add my gt350 motor popping and ford lol.

BuckeyeROC Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Add my gt350 motor popping and ford lol. Old, but you can add my Big Block Fords, too. Love the Hellcat Jeep, BTW, congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Brian Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I love newer Ford interiors and ergonomics but they're simply just huge piles of shit. Chevy has their quirks too but not nearly as bad. I've never been a fanboi of either until owning a few of each and finding the light.

oh8sti Posted August 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 LOVE this thing. I also LOVE the yellow calipers, since thats the only model/trim that comes with them, as soon as you see the yellow you know it means business. Did you have this Tuesday (8/13) down at Wolf's ridge? if so i saw you and it looks awesome! In Nashville? I live in Nashville. I will however be in Columbus on 9/7 - might hit up cars and coffee before I drive back to Nash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeitgeist57 Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 I love newer Ford interiors and ergonomics but they're simply just huge piles of shit. Chevy has their quirks too but not nearly as bad. I've never been a fanboi of either until owning a few of each and finding the light. +1. I love the recent Ford offerings but the stories I've heard - just on CR - about... F-150 Transmission Mustang manual transmission GT350 VooDoo engines popping FWD PowerShift transmission issues ST/RS engines MKC powertrain issues ....let alone other things has been a big disappointment. My company Lincoln MKC has a seriously annoying heatshield(?) rattle at cold startup coming from under the car (brand new!) and a disturbing part-throttle/cruising hesitation rolling on the highway. I wouldn't ever really consider this over import competition if I was buying one used years from now for my children. Yes, it's turbo...but any joy that should come with boost is lost on the stupid transmission as well. OP put together a killer Raptor, it really is sad to see so many problems with a truck that should be building an amazing reputation for itself right now. Years from now people would be like "Tundra TRD Pro? Cool truck!".........."1st-gen Raptor? Yikes! You must've gotten that for cheap." At least the Ecoboost V6's seem to be doing OK....?

-Alex- Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Love the Trailhawk. I like the white with red interior, I like the white with yellow calipers, can’t say I like white with red interior and yellow calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Love it! Back when I had my stealth, there were some early Stealth's / 3000GT's that had red leather. It was always referred to as the "porno red" interior. Maybe consider carrying that torch lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the First Gen's with the 6.2L are the ones holding value and seem to be the most reliable (if talking to owners and the internet is to be believed). The 5.4L 3-valves have all the problems those engines in other fords have - timing, camshaft sensors, oil issues, fuel pumps, etc...It's not a great engine. I've heard from some ecoboost owners too that the new ones are just as problem prone as the early 5.4L's - engine and tranny issues abound. I think the 1st gen 6.2L crew cab (not quad cab) raptor will be the collectible one day, all the others...well who says there will even be any around.

Aaron Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 Your GT350 motor popped?!! What was the reason? Nobody knows. If anyone claims they know, they're wrong. Ford isnt letting any dealers open them up other than to confirm something warrants a motor replacement. Mine had bearing material in oil filter, others say oil pump gear, others point to a rubber oring in the pan, etc. But only Ford knows for sure. 2019 gets recast block and heads if that tells you anything. Poor engineering. This. Still coolest car under 100k imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 And I was seriously thinking about buying a gt350. I’ll stick to my usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirks5oh Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 That is a badass truck. Sucks about the raptor. I had my 2013 gt500 lemoned out—wonder if that would have been an option. Loving the hellcat though Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
