Is that ARE Evo canopy???

Since I didn't purchase the canopy myself I can't say for sure. Looking at the ARE website, I think it's the CX Revo. I'm not really much of a canopy guy, but it's pretty slick. The glass is curved to contour around the tailgate instead of having the plastic piece on the bottom. Also, the rear glass unlocks electronically with the doors.

Too funny, im from Portland and also looking at a Raptor in Idaho. Was debating driving it home vs shipping.

If it's the right truck/deal for you, you should totally drive it home! I caught an early flight out of PDX, the dealer picked me up and had me on the road home by late morning. Got home in time to have dinner with the family. It was a great way to justify some seat time in the new truck without inventing reasons to run to the store or something. I never actually got a quote on shipping it but I talked to a couple people I know that have had vehicles transported and from what they said, between the flight and fuel, driving was 1/3 - 1/2 the cost of professional transport. Good luck!

I will be visiting Portland for a couple of weeks. Are there any Raptor friendly trails around there?

I bought my truck just recently from Wisconsin and I live in Idaho. I looked into the shipping option and the best price I could find was $1525 for an open transport truck. I decided to fly over and drive back (1700 miles) and after flight, gas, food, and 2 nights stay in hotels, I ended up spending just under $800

I'm sure there are but I haven't had any chance to explore any yet. I'm coming from sports/muscle cars and am very new to the offroad scene. Hopefully someone else can chime and let us in on some nice trails in the Portland area.

As far as I can tell, it's an ARE CX Revo

I'm not usually a fan of canopy's but I think that one looks nice. Congrats on truck
