The best way to describe the Raptor is a 4 season all terrain sportscar. Yes, I know it is a truck, but it rides, drives, handles more like a car than a truck. Being able to drive home from TRR (681 miles) with only one stop for fuel (and wifes small bladder, lol). Not being all cramped up or physically tired says a lot the car like qualities of this amazing vehicle!

Welcome......... I hope you become happier & happier w/ every mile that rolls up the odometer. I only have one gripe with my Raptor...... I seem to be able to keep finding badass mods to add on to it.

Mods = $$$
Spending $$$ = " ****** what did you buy now? " wife

But I must admit even my wife who did not want me to buy a truck & wanted me to stick with either a car or SUV, loves my truck. She calls the passenger seat her "lounge chair" & since we have had the truck (only 2 months 2500miles) she always wants to take my truck out for Road Trips, Dinner, or Grocery Shopping. I told her I just might have to buy her one for herself.

I LOVE MY RAPTOR!!!!!

I am in the same boat, seems like every place we go now the gf is hinting at taking the truck, "Well hell, if you are going to buy this damn thing you better drive us around in it!"

She loves taking it on days I ride my bike so she can show it off to her friends at work haha. A guy came out the other day saying "Who drives the truck the size of Texas out there?" She loves it.

Honestly I thought the transition would be more difficult than it was, it REALLY does feel like a big sports car in many ways. Especially coming from the STI's it feels like a more capable, big ass rally machine.

I HAVE NO REGRETS!
