I get all the comments. It actually isn't gold but a bronzish gold. has a bit of brown tint in it. In person it looks a lot better than the pics, pic seem to bring out the yellow or gold. I originally wasn't sold on the color until I saw it all together, I really like it now.
As for going offroad, it sees its time off the beaten path. That is why I ceramic coated everything. It is built for show but I do use it as I need. Mainly oilfield lease roads when not on payment.
I went with the Raptor over the F150 or F250 since everyone is building those. I wanted something way different that I knew no one was going to build. I think I have achieved that so far. My previous truck was a F250 that we had a full build on. Got tired of the rough ride and never being able to move in traffic.
Give it a couple of years I will build another, not sure which yet.
