Raptor as a daily driver

[Evilmonkey]

After 87k I think I can call mine a DD. After the 700 mile DD week I drive the shit out of it in the weekends too! Fishing, camping and the trips to the dunes to see how high I can jump it are always a blast. Always look forward and never look back! Have fun.

the raptor drives and rides fantastic, just as nice as the Denali XL's my wife drove for years. It's wider than the big SUVs but with a SCAB I have no issue parking right in without backing up and realigning.

I have a short drive so gas isn't a factory. IMHO parking is the only hassle and I have no issue with that other than some spots are REALLY narrow. I've parked in one lot where I was perfectly centered and the lines touched the wheels on both sides. When the spots are narrow I just park far from the door.

I have the S Crew cab, and parking is a breeze. Don't feel you need to get a Scab because it's easier to park.

Congrats on your order. You will love it like no other. Such a fun ride and so many ways to modify it for what you want to do. Hands down the most fun I've had with a vehicle. And you get used to the attention it generates everywhere you go. Enjoy smiling! SPG > MPG

I think a raptor is just as practical as any F-150 IMO... I picked mine up in late June and have 10,500 miles on her so far. About 70 mile round trip to work Mon thru Friday with many weekend fun miles.... I do not have any "impracticalities" that differ from my 2010 FX4 other than the smaller bed on the raptor (had the 6.5' bed on the FX). Sure I get 13.5mpg average, but I was only getting 15 in the FX4 once I added the Icon Coilovers and 34" tires so not that big of difference....
