Am I crazy for Considering a Raptor?

[frunko1]

Raptor the mpg might be closer to 11 unless you can control your right foot.

I do mostly highway/ roads you get up 55 or 65 and set cruise, many areas are flat too. Even down that low the numbers still work in favor of the raptor.

I was surprised how terrible the resale on the lariats was.

yep you will passably get 15 or more just didn't want you to be surprised if it's not. I've been able to get it down to 9, but as much as 19 so just depends on how you drive the 19 was a 70 miles driving 55. but I cant normally drive like that. that's running e-30 you can get a better feel on the one and only gas mileage thread.

I think I have the wife convinced, now I just need to figure out which one in my area I want.

I added some more vehicles to my spreadsheet if anyone was curious. The jeep is on there for a family member.

M is mass of central gravitating body
R is radius of the central body

Have you thought of ordering a truck? If you check out the dealers selling at invoice thread you may still be able to get close to the scab Mt number you have there on a SCrew... Depending on options of course. As far as convincing the lady, I'd say to take her to a dealer for a test drive. Especially if its got the heated/cooled seats. She'll love riding in it...

Now I just have to convince the wife I am not crazy for doing this.

It's easier to beg for forgiveness than to try to convince the wifey and ask!!!

I drive 20k+ a year and mainly highway miles. I have driven regular F150s and have a Mustang GT that mostly sits in the garage. I prefer the ride of the Raptor over anything I have driven in the past or present. I prefer the Raptor on long road trips vs the Mustang, which means I'm choosing 15mpg over 24mpg on 500+ mile road trips.
