O did everything I could to not make it my daily. Went and bought a 32 mpg civic si brand new. Wanted to keep the miles low since I drive so much with my job, 20-120 miles a day.

Yeah, the Honda sits at home and I can't seem to get out of my truck.

I LOVE it.

Daily driver for going on two years. I fill up every other week. It's a lot less expensive than owning two vehicles, and I could never relegate the best truck that ever came off a production line to toy status.

DD for me too. About 40 round trip commuting. Plus I find myself still looking for excuse to drive it. The only thing it needs is a better horn!

DD mine as well. I drive about 150 miles a week to/from work, then about another 150 miles a week for regular use/errands/joy riding/etc. On track for ~15,000 miles this year. Expensive on gas, but it's the most comfortable truck out there!

Started car pooling with the wife to save a little gas, should save about 1,200 for the year, but the 5.0 mustang, as fun of a car as it is, for long road trips it's a toss up. 25 mpg in the 5.0, or 16-17 mpg highway in the Raptor but sooooooo much more comfortable! lol

OK
As far as comfort, Raptor has the most comfortable seats of any vehicle I have ever driven. It's like sitting in my Barcalounger in the living room.
