Can the svt raptor be able to be a daily driver on a small island?

how do you go from a $200,000 car to a $60,000 truck?
how could you not???

Guessing the Raptor is a bit more rare. Like how BMW and MB aren't anything fancy in Germany

precisely!

Good way to get your truck keyed! Just sayin!!

my thoughts exactly... while I've never keyed a car (that's f'd up IMO) I have taken some valve stem cores from the tires of ********... haha. It's not permanent, just a PITA. If they REALLY deserve it... TWO tires... now you're in tow truck territory!
"Hi AAA? Yeah, I'm parked across the first three spots in the WalMart parking lot, and I have two flat tires."
That'll make your day!

Now parked way out in the boonies? Shit, park up a tree for all I care.

...back to the original question...

Parking isn't an issue in a SCAB, can't speak for the turning radius of a SCREW. Learn to back it in, you'll have a better turning angle.

7 inches really isn't that much of a difference on the road, you won't have any trouble fitting in just about any lane.

Also, the Raptor cab is the same size as an F-150 cab, it's just the wheels and fenders that stick out, so doors open the same as a regular F-150 (still kinda wide though).

Surprisingly enough, knock on wood, I haven't gotten any door dings yet on my 2010.

Hey, if your folks can, and will, swing it, go for it....but remember a couple of things...This is a BIG vechicle with gobs of power and its one thing to impail yourself on on a big oak tree, but these trucks can do serious damage to property and more important, soccer moms with 3 kids in a minivan. You will never forget, or forgive yourself for killing someone by being stupid, regardless of the vehicle you drive.

Never forget that you represent, don't be "that guy" we'll hunt you down, or at least wish we could.

If your folks have money, be glad, but don't take it for granted or be an ass about it. A kid at my son's school switches off between a Bentley, a McLaren MP4 and a H2, none of which he abuses. To meet the kid away from his car, you'd never know. He's a class act, respectful to his peers and pretty much everyone, and is a young man of honor. Be "that guy."

If you go with the Raptor, enjoy it....and remember, it does have room for "the nasty" in the back, but you prolly aint shootin blanks and carseats will fit back there nicely too. IJS.
