Percentage of raptor owners that actually really use their trucks

no, it legitimately spends most of it's time in one shop or another. ( at least in between Baja runs with ExO)

Saw the new “bed” setup on Instagram. Looking sharp.

I got dirt on mine once and sold it the next day. I couldn't handle the dirt near the door handles.

I drive mine to work at least 2x a week.
I’m sure this counts...

That’s twice as much as I drive mine

Will I ever run 100 MPH through a desert with it? Probably not, I live in Ohio.

Will I ever push it real hard off-road? Again, probably not.

But look at the cost to properly add 35”s, a lift, and these shocks to a regular F-150. It’s not cheap.

Most hillbillies throw a set of larger tires on their truck, some half ass Rough Country/Great Value lift on there and call it a day. They never correct the speedometer/odometer. They never re-gear and retune the trans. Their wheel assemblies are often overweight which results in pre-mature bearing failure, shit handling, and poor fuel economy. Which is to say nothing of having a set of properly spec’d shocks and springs. And the moment you do, there goes the warranty.

The Raptor is a completely engineered package. The same qualities that make it excellent off road also help in Ohio’s wartorn ******** roads. And if need be, I CAN go off road, or do the regular truck stuff that I need to do.

Yup- it's properly geared and has factory body work/suspension for 35" tires. The larger wheel openings cannot be overstated. A standard F150 that has been lifted with 35" tires shoved (kinda) into the tiny stock F150 wheel wells looks so stupid. When it sits in the garage all the time- how it looks sitting there is VERY important!
