So finally pulled the trigger on a new Raptor. Had my 2019 802a for the last 4.5yrs. Loved it. Never a single issue. Drive it pretty mild. Has 38,500 miles. For sale actually.
Been stalking the newer ones. Was thinking about a 22 or 23’. Saw a 25’ in person and initially I thought the front end was softer, seeing it in person I really liked it.
Anyways, shelter green 24’, 802a, full Xpel ppf, tonneau cover, bed liner etc. Pretty loaded. $95k msrp truck.
But, my impressions after driving it home 2.5 hrs:
- Suspension is badass. Like butter. Crazy difference. I always thought my suspension was a bit stiff. I like the softness and floatiness. Feels like I’ve always thought it should feel
- The HUD is amazing I totally didn’t even think about it until it was there and how awesome it is
- Bigger screens are great. I do think the gauge cluster screen should be a unique shape vs just a rectangle but
- Love the seats and the red stitching and the updated interior. Reminds me of going from a CBA GTR to the 2017+ DBA GTR.
One thing I don’t love is the wireless charger. Can barely fit my phone and hand in there. Kinda awkward.
Besides that the truck feels way bigger and seems to sit about 2-3” higher than my 19’. Still messing with things. Is the tonneau cover automatic or just manual?
Gonna add some aftermarket wheels, shorty antenna, and want to do something with the front bumper, keeping it stock but adding some lights or something to make it look slightly better. I think an ADD pro bumper would look amazing but don’t feel like spending the 4-5k for bumper + intercooler etc etc
No good pics yet.
