What made you decide on Gen 3?

I cringe at the thought of you people going through a drive through car wash with a vehicle you care about.
Drive through car washes are for rental cars and beaters.

Can you elaborate on why please? In between hand washing what would the issue be with a quick touchless automatic wash?

LOL After what the sagebrush and juniper have done, a drive through car wash is tlc …

Touch less isn’t so bad, I was mainly referring to the brushes in auto car wash bays. I will run mine through a touch less wash in the winter once or twice, otherwise it’s a proper foam cannon, followed by a hand wash and blow dry topped off with quick detailer/wax.
I’m OCD though, and it doesn’t help that one of my first jobs in high school was at a detail shop, where I learned to love (a curse in a way) to detail my own car. Many years later as my cars have gotten nicer, I spend way too much time cleaning them.

Went Gen 3 as it's my first Raptor and I'm finally in a position to afford one.

Easy choice, coming from the outdated Gen 2.

Not interested in Gen3 unless they bring back the SCAB.

Looks like the last newest Raptor you’re going to own is a Gen 2. I understand your sentiments, I just can’t see Ford making one since I can’t imagine the Super Cab Raptor is more than 5% of sales. Actually probably much less. There are quite a few Raptors in my area. I think I’ve only seen 1-2 that are Super Cabs. I’m sure the rest of the country isn’t just like my region, but I bet they are similar.

Nice man! I used to detail cars in high school as well. In the ideal world, I’d be handwashing every week like I was when I was in college… But life gets busy doesn’t it?

I've wanted a Raptor since they were first released, but I refuse to finance vehicles. I'm finally in a spot where I'm fortunate enough to be able to pay cash for one.

Working 60 hours/week with a baby due in mere weeks, I’m almost ready to hire a detailer… almost
