Picked up a ‘23 Raptor today. First time raptor owner. First time truck owner. Coming from a Grand Cherokee.

Have been loving trucks for a couple years. I live in the city and always thought how impractical it would be - I said F*** it.

Test drove an X5M Competition. X6M Competition. New Grand Cherokee. Amazing cars for sure. Then started to like the TRX - drove it and felt like it wasn’t great. Didn’t love the visibility over the dash, gas mileage was horrendous. But then decided to go to the ford dealer last week. Dealer was awesome, let me take the raptor home for a couple days to see if it was for me.

Well the rest is history and I fell in love with it. I’m sure maneuvering it around the city (most of my driving) might get kind of old but I think the drive and feel makes up for it.

Looking to get it tinted next and would love any words of wisdom or advice as a first time truck/raptor owner in the city.
