I have said this before on this forum…my only regret is not purchasing mine sooner. I waited to get into a better financial shape before purchasing. But wow we have to be able to enjoy our money too

I vote for buy it.

I had a Ranger Raptor on order, but after thinking about it, I decided just to cancel that and order a Raptor.

I think this is a question only you can truly answer. It's your life man. Financials can make life very ******, or very fun lol. Raptors are on another level, so that question is easy. Just weigh your pros and cons of having a car payment and go from there.

I was in a very similar situation. Had a 17 Lariat paid off. Did everything I needed.
Had 3 Raptors since and it’s 50/50 for me.
No payment is a great feeling so it’s all personal satisfaction.

Buy it, and make it difficult to steal. Take it to your high school reunion, take it to Cars & Coffee, take it on long scenic drives and count how many times you smile like an idiot or find a reason to take pictures of it.

Welcome to the Happy Raptor cult.

My vote is to do it. MSRP and you are getting a pretty good trade in amount for your XLT. The nice thing is that if you have buyers remorse, you will be able to recoup most of your money on the Raptor. You won't have any remorse though.
Until that $4k moonroof leak bill hits lol
