Hell, I’m a new member and already have him on ignore. Unless one of y’all quote him, I literally can’t even see he posted.

Refreshing.

On topic: reminded again today that the only downside using this truck as a DD is the mileage...accumulated on the truck and the $ on fuel!
Fuel economy and Raptor should probably not be in the same paragraph much less the same sentence.

Good luck. I’ve been seeing tons of Gen 2 Raptors on the roads locally. Rams aren’t even on dealer lots around here, unless they’re the things they keep under the large tarps with the holes cut out for the headlights. None on the road either.

I'm a part of quite a few Raptor groups. One thing I've noticed amongst people with impressive garages (multiple vehicles over $100k) is that they all prefer to take their Gen 2 on trips, as "it is the most comfortable vehicle they own". I've seen no less than 4 people say that directly, and others say something similar.

The 2019 should ride better on the road than previous years. There's a few people that have reviewed them thus far, and say that the skittishness over small bumps is gone, and less body roll (which was advertised). The firmness is debated - most people outside of the TFL video review say it is more firm when it should be, and comfortable the rest of the time.

You can get an 18 for pretty cheap (comparatively), so you might test drive both if you can.

IMO, this truck is the best vehicle you can buy, and I daily drive mine.
The live fox shock is a buster I called it out along time ago. The damn thing bein stiff is not fun anymore on a highway.

False. For 2019, Ram is killing it! I prefer raptor, but I ain't gonna lie

Yeah, it supposably drives like a GT3 RS on the highway.
