Can you point me to the article they wrote about the drivetrain failure they had in their long term Ford Raptor[1]? 1. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a23888636/2017-ford-f-150-raptor-reliability-maintenance/ https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a23888636/2017-ford-f-1... "it ate a costly drivetrain part at only 40,000 miles."

Isn't it that article? In the previous paragraph: "After hitting 40,000 miles, the Raptor began complaining with a noisy, ill-shifting transfer case. The dealer replaced a damaged shift fork, the clutch assembly, and a handful of other worn internal parts under warranty—a fix that took a week."

  I'm as confused as you are. He's doing Trump's signature move, pointing at the evidence and saying: "see, there's no evidence"

  My point is they didn't call it out in the headline or write an article focusing on the failure.

The car still worked and managed to limp to the dealer, so it's not close to the same event. C&D is stating that they had never had a car become 100% useless while parked and turned off, and that every other luxury brand had offered tow service and a loaner. That's what made this particular event article worthy. I'm 100% sure that had this happened to any other brand, they would've done the same. You're not a C&D regular if you think otherwise to be honest, they'll happily love one model of a brand and absolutely detest others. They love electric cars. You're just spewing out accusations with no basis on fact.

  You're right that I am not a c&d regular, but I do have respect for them. I lumped them in with other publications that like to write sensationalized articles about Tesla. I'm still not 100% confident that they'd write an article if they had a similar failure in a mundane vehicle.
