Default Re: 2018 Ranger Raptor

The warranty is set by Ford, not the DP.

Buyers of these types of vehicles are not normally that dumb, they know the difference between
advertising under controlled conditions and going rank in the wild with no back up support.
People buying these vehicles will be asking all sorts of questions and will probably be invited
to advanced field days to explore the safe limits of their vehicles...(like FPV used to...)
