Finally managed to snap a pic of this ‘aged’ Ford Raptor I’ve been seeing around town. It’s got a wrap that makes it look rusted and beat up. Curious to hear your thoughts!
This reminds me of when people started ripping their jeans, and the rest of us were like, “Why pay extra when mine naturally look like that after a few months?” This feels like the truck version of that.

Yeah, except this Raptor is aluminum, so it wouldn’t naturally rust like that.

Exactly, which makes it feel even more fake.

I’m still trying to figure out how you make a point while also reinforcing it. Lol.

None of it has to make sense. This whole thing is basically art, and art doesn’t need to make sense.

Calling this art is a stretch. It’s just following some silly trend. Bet the owner wears ripped jeans too.

Art is an explosion.

Yeah… no, this is not art.

But notice the plastic parts still look brand new.

What are the pros and cons of aluminum trucks, anyway?

Lighter weight and decent strength.

No rust, which is a big win.

They’re strong for their weight and resist corrosion better than steel.
@Ember
This is a wrap, though, so it’s more like those t-shirts that have a fake tattoo sleeve.

So basically, it’s the truck equivalent of wearing one of those layered shirts to fake a sleeve tattoo. Got it.
@Ember
Exactly. Pure trash.
@Ember
Agreed with you 100%.
Looks like something straight out of a Forza lobby lol.
Honestly, I like the tires.
