Redapple2 $1800 destination charge$2400 freight. Ford. Rape is illegal. You may not bend me over the table.What is an A/C charge/fee? Is it what i think it is?
MrIcky The ranger raptor is just simply better if you actually want to go off road, and it's only 60% of the price.
FreedMike Just the thing for big city driving! It's easy to park, easy on gas, and there's nothing like unleashing the 700 hp beast in bumper to bumper traffic on the Dan Ryan. (Seriously, I'm finding it almost depressing to own a performance car in a place where you can use its' performance maybe 10% of the time.)
