86.3" wide without mirrors and 96.8" with mirrors. Basically the same width as an H1 Hummer. The width and tires are the biggest limiting factors when off-roading a Raptor. I went from a Tacoma to a Gen-1 Raptor in 2011. It was a big adjustment but quickly learned the difference. Now in a Gen-2 and no desire to go back to a Taco.

My Gen 1 was a SCAB and my Gen 2 is a SCREW. I think with a SCAB you would find the maneuverability to be better than the longer SCREW. Also they probably are a little quicker due to the less mass they move around.

Are the trails tight there in OR?

How does your Raptor do in those tight trails?

Yes I'm actually looking into the extended cab one, the crew cab is too long imo. Plus, the wheelbase is only 6" longer than the Taco's
