HP/MPG
Ford, Dodge, & GM all sell pick up trucks that get 11-14 MPG range. It's not just Ford. It's every body. A truck buyer that spends $60,000 USD doesn't care about MPG. They want Horsepower.--Dana60Cummins (talk) 03:27, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Really? The Ford Raptor cost $42,000 base, and it just barley reaches $50,000 with EVERY option selected, NOT $60,000. Also, get your facts straight, look at Fords website, the Raptor gets the LOWEST FUEL ECONOMY AND IT HAS THE LOWEST TOWING CAPACITY compared to ALL 2011 F-150 Models. You need to learn how to deal with the truth, get some help for your issues. Also, Ford has by far the lowest fuel economy trucks available. GM, and Chrysler (which owns Dodge) come after, with similar numbers but both GM and Chrysler are still not as bad as Ford. For your thoughts as to people who can afford to buy a "$60,000" vehicle, and don't care about MPG's, that is so WRONG it's pathetic. I can tell you from experience, it's does not matter how much you spend on a vehicle, there are people out there that will spend more than $60,000+ and they will still care about the MPG's they are getting. But since its sounds like you can't afford anything more than a rice burner, it's just your way of talking into the wind and hoping you sound knowledgeable.

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Ford F-150 SVT Raptor. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Scheinwerfermann (talk) 21:59, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Explain what source that I have added thats not reliable. Go to the link I provided and actually go through and look at all the models and you will see Im correct. If Im not, prove it, and show me how I am wrong. Ok, its simple as that, prove to me Im wrong and your correct, because all I can see is that Im correct, at least with all the information I've seen it backs up my writing.

Hold up a moment, please
Hi, CL122294. It looks like you're a newly-registered editor. Welcome here. This is the encyclopædia anyone can edit, but that does not mean anyone can put in just any ol' text and expect it to remain. Edits made outside the boundaries of Wikipedia protocol and policy won't last; they'll be quickly reverted. Continued uncoöperative editing will quickly get you blocked. Please take five minutes for a quick read of the main tenets of how we do things here. It's the only way you'll be able to make a lasting contribution to articles on subjects you care deeply about. To take the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor as an example, your section about "future problems" cannot remain in the article because it is your opinion of what will happen in the future. One of the official policies here is that Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so even something that seems obviously likely to happen in the future cannot be added. What can be added is mention of a notable, reliable source publishing predictive statements. Do you see the difference? It's an important one. Even more importantly, we adhere to the neutral point of view here. So, for instance, we can report EPA fuel economy ratings for the F-150 SVT Raptor and for other F-150s and for competing trucks, and we can make statements supported by those figures (e.g., "The SVT Raptor has the lowest EPA fuel economy rating of any 2011 Ford F-150 truck"), but we cannot editorialize about it. We are building an encyclopædia to describe the world as it actually is. Not as we think it should be, not as we believe it is, not as we wish it were, not as we hope it will be. Contributing to Wikipedia is a coöperative effort, not a competitive one; we must all feel free to be bold and make contributions in accord with Wikipedia protocol, but we do not engage in edit wars simply because we disagree with another contributor. Instead, we follow the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle, of which "discuss" is the most important point. Please do go read that first link, okeh? Thanks. —Scheinwerfermann T&middot;C 00:01, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
