New Raptor owner - San Diego

[Butterz]

Hi Everyone,

Finally made the decision and picked up a 2023 Raptor a few weeks ago and am absolutely loving it! I previously had a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 that I added some suspension upgrades to. Ended up selling it when the used car prices jumped in 2020. Decided it’s time to pick up another and test drove all sorts of trucks before checking out the Raptor. The Raptor was a clear winner.

I’m new to off roading and have been in the background searching the forums for safety gear and stuff. First few trips to the sand have been a blast! Signed up for Raptor Assault in April, waiting for confirmation. Happy to be a part of the community!

First trip was to Otay Mountain Truck Trail. A bit higher and narrower than expected but was a great experience.


The following weekend we went to Anza-Borrego through some trails.

Nice intro. A raptor in the wild is a fine sight to behold.

Very nice, I have been up Otay TT a few times at work and in my truck. It can get pretty messed up this time of year with all the rain. But on clear days the view is insane from the top. Nice first post and welcome, enjoy her!

Welcome! Love the color but I am bias.

Just glad you didn't get it from Ken Grody in Carlsbad.
