But Ford already pre released the 2014 Raptor. Is obmamma now going to deprive the public from enjoyment of a true rugged 4x4 truck?

The No.1 reason people by the Raptor is because it looks very awesome and menacing. So if CAFE standards are a problem, simply install the straight-5 diesel (that will be in the Transit) and replace the gasoline V8 with a smaller displacement PowerStroke diesel V8.

Ford would be crazy to discontinue the Raptor series, it is what makes it oh so much better than the GMC/Ram products.

Buy more EPA credits from Tesla or roll out another 40mpg econobox but keep the raptor going. It's where the money is made anyway....
