I went from a S63 Sedan to the Raptor but I've always had lifted trucks.
Anyone that switched from small car to the raptor?

How does braking compare? Does the bigger size make you into a more calm driverkind of like listening to classical music haha
Braking compared to a performance sedan flat sucks. Compared to other trucks it's not bad. There is some comfort in the size. You will never hear someone say "I didn't see you". lol.

what he said. Although they grab attention everywhere, I don’t think people can conceive that these trucks can hit 60 in under 6 seconds, so I find it somewhat less of a challenge to pass than in a normal truck, or a normal (that is to say, underpowered) car. Finally, I have a vehicle that people actually move over for.
She is a ***** to park though, cameras notwithstanding. Not quite as bad as my 1971 Olds 98, but sort of the same league. The 98 was 21 feet long bumper to bumper.

Never owned a car at 47, so no help. Its really just a different lifestyle. More Utilitarian, self sufficient, ect. Less Metro ******...whatever the hell that is.

I went from a 2007 Corvette Z06 to my 2012 Raptor.

It wasn't a huge leap for me given our other vehicle was a large SUV. Raptor and any F-150 gets some getting use to. I think the 360 degree camera really helps for the tight parking situations.
