I would not use your raptor, but that's just me.

EMP do you know what a ford raptor is no need for half that stuff
 
Dont depend on the newer trucks or cars to many electronics on board.Find yorself something old and with a carb and points ignition. Old suburban,blazer,bronco,land cruiser,jeep,anything 4 wd. Hell even a big ass old stationwagon would work.

Yeah I am very nice truck mate, I don't know the spec on em though? Couldn't hurt to set it up for wading you never know what the weather might throw at you
 
Does it have pipe on the diff breather routed up nice and high? Because with this fitted and a snorkel and a good spray of wd40 on the electrics and youl be able to go through some suprisingly deep water
 
I'm only familiar with land rover defenders very capable especialy if you do the mods I listed
 
This truck is by far the best off road truck you can buy stock hands down better then landrover better then any jeep it's has stock lockers 6.2L motor made to desert race or crawl and even take her swimming it one hell of a sweet truck.
 
Best truck now but after shtf I would prefer a landy diesel engine they will run on almost any liquid fuel including parrafin and kerosine an all that, not the best mpg but better than you'd get from a 6.2 .... While fuels everywhere you win hands down and you deffo have more fun but for a bug out vehicle I'd still choose a good old landy, they go forever over anything through anything you can kit them out so hard , like I said you win but my advice would be to stock up on fuel, the area I live in is rural and there's not many gas mains so right behind every house is a HUGE tank of kerosine for heating, we have tankers fill our tanks instead of mains supply gas so fuel won't be an issue round here lol

Ford makes "alright" stuff, but im a Chevy guy!
Although Ford does make one hell of a ddp truck called the Raptor, i saw some of its offroad/on road capabilitys and id give up my Chevy love for that truck (fully loaded) anyday, that truck is fucken awesome to put it mildly!

Id also go Jeep anyday for offroad capabilitys!

Lmao, first in what? Breaking down first????
Yup government funded, American government!
Jelious cuz America loved Chevy enough to save them????
Lmfao a F-22 raptor is government funded, you gonna say that **** aint badass either????
 
Krime your talking apples and shotguns I want the government to build f-22 I don't want them bailing out company's that don't know what there doing 70% of Americans did not want them to get a bailout and if it was such a great company they would not have needed a bailout. Ford did not take one and look how good there doing I understand there's tons of Chevy lovers and ford lovers and dodge lovers but out of those 3 only one did not take a bailout and to me that says a lot also I've loved ford since I can remember and have two ford tattoos so I'm kinda biased and can see now wrong with ford so sorry if I ruffled your feathers
