What are you replacing with the Gen 2 Raptor?

2005 Nissan Titan. Been a great truck, fast, reliable and solid off road. With the 200K mark about to hit its time for replacement. And the new Titans cannot hold a candle to the F150, let alone the Raptor. In 05 it was a different story for sure.....

I had a 2005 Titan and I agree. The HP rating seemed way low to me. IMHO, it was definitely the best half-ton truck available until about 2008 or so.

I cashed in on my 2012 Raptor's ridiculously high re-sale value about a year ago. My Raptor was exactly 4 years old and I received within $400 of what I had paid for it brand new. I thought I'd be happy with a sensible truck as a replacement (2016 4wd Toyota Tacoma TRD OR), but I was wrong. Towing my 18' Tracker with a 90 HP outboard on the interstate to and from Canada with the Tacoma was no fun at all; that was the final straw for me.

The Tacoma also holds its value well, so I'm only losing about $2500 trading toward a 2017 Raptor. My build week is scheduled for 11/14/16.

You dont even want to know about the debate regarding lemon law refund and dealer markups....not pretty.

2011 F-150 Platinum 5.0, with a nice cat back. Same thoughts on giving up the power running boards, but this raptor looks to be too badass to pass up for another platinum or something.

2014 F150 FX2 Screw ecoboost fully loaded with Appearance Package. Love this truck but have been dreaming of a Raptors for a while. Also sold my 85 Porsche 911 as well so down to 1 for a while.

2013 f150 fx4. I'll miss it but I'll have 450 reasons to take my mind off it.
