Raptor R - I want one, but when should I buy one?

Some people love them some hate them I don't mind them I will debadge it at some point.

Totally a personal preference and I get some people like the look, just feels like a rolling billboard to me. Everyone who knows is already aware it is a Raptor LOL

Having had a 23 eco to the switch to a 23 r. It's not worth the money. I also have a mclaren, 22 superduty, and an r8. I know what fun is luckily in some pretty neat cars. Would I buy the r over again? No.
For a truck sure it's neat(when you get it at first)- but doesn't have a wow factor for me personally. I have 13k miles now almost a year from when I purchased, it's been great to me. I think of it as my daily and a normal truck now.

I have a big garage full of fast cars. The R is worth it to me.

Take a walk on the wild side! Buy a Raptor R.
It will make you feel 30 years younger and add a couple inches.

So you’re saying double! Sign me up.

It's not the first time I've read that someone wasn't impressed moving from a Gen3 to an R.

However, I'm surprised to hear you prefer the 2014 over the 2020.

For me, my 2019 was awesome, except for the lack of power. I couldn't go back to that after owning a 22 and a 24.

At this point, I wouldn't even want to return to my 22.

LOL 720 HP is not a normal truck if it was all trucks would have that kind of power. It limited to 113 because you rolling on 37" tires and 2 feet of the ground do 150 MPH on 37"s and see what happens....

I want to see what happens, felt solid at 113

@Hydrocoded Same situation as you, had a 2014 which I enjoyed very much and currently have a 2020 and it is not the same. Never really enjoyed it as much. My GEN1 was fun to daily drive and absolutely better when off-roading. I bit the bullet and ordered a 25' Raptor R. Getting it for MSRP helped me make the jump. Told my wife that I ordered a new truck but not telling her what it cost, I don't need the drama when I already made the decision.
