From a 911 Targa to a Raptor. First few days, felt the truck will roll over if I sneezed. Parking is the biggest learning curve. Once you learn the handling characteristics, that thing is sold and handles amazingly well for a vehicle its size. I love it...

Anyone that made the switch from a small compact car to the raptor want to note their experience!? Thinking of taking the truck plunge after being married to my audi a4 for 18 years now :)



I'm coming from a Subaru sti, 5.0 mustang and an Audi S4 lol this will be quite the change for me as well. Excited for the truck tho I've been drooling since 2015 over it! Just say FAK it and plunge away.

I am going to be going from a Dodge 2500 to the smaller Raptor, so it should be real nice being able to park in normal parking spots, comfy ride without solid axles, and modern things like remote engine start and backup cameras.

I am going to miss the torque of the diesel and simple maintenance of the Cummins.

I went from a very low dodge stratus R/T to this beast. I love it! It takes a little time to adjust to being up much higher, but now I can't see going back to a low car again. Parking is a bitch sometimes, but I always part in BFE to avoid and other cars dings. The extra walk is way worth it.

Goal is to move from an AMG C63S to a raptor, hopefully. If I get the stars to align.

Previously I had moved from a Mazdaspeed 3 to an F250 so the change is not foreign to me

Goal is to move from a C7 vette / Evo X to the raptor (selling both the cars). I think I'm getting too old to drop my ass down into low cars... looking forward to something more comfortable as a DD. I would have already bought a used Gen 1 but god they hold their value well lol...
