For those that have traded up from a Sasquatch to a Raptor for a daily driver, how is it?

Went from a Badlands to Raptor after 6 months. I use the stock antenna to be my guide when i get into parking garages...they can get a little scary. So no windshield mounted KC's for me.

Ive used it a s a DD since ive owned in (3 years in October) and I have 44k miles on it. Never had an issue with narrow roads, parking, dings. The only time I hesitated and left an area was a parking garage that I didnt trust.

Its a smooth ride and easy to zip in and out of traffic if necesary.

AS far as rear windshield visibility because of the tire, you learn to use all mirrors real quick. Its not an issue.

Like others, I upgraded from 2021 Outer Banks Sasquatch to the Braptor. Holy cow, night and day. The Raptor rides so much better. I didn’t intend for it to be my daily driver but I’ll be darned, I drive it 95% of the time. You won’t regret the upgrade and the Raptor is even cooler on the beach.

Two years daily driving mine — the width is the real adjustment in parking decks, not the height. Mirrors fold and the camera system does the rest. Just budget for the gas mileage, that's the real trade-off.

I looked hard at a Raptor and wanted one, but stuck with the Badlands as I wanted to put a winch on it, and I haven't seen any decent Winch package options for Raptors. Whereas the Ford Performance winch package was available at the time, cheap, and slapped right on the Badlands. More or less. Since then, having upgraded the skid plates, added lighting, etc., I feel like the Raptor isn't as customizable as the Badlands.

What's out there for winches for Raptors? Asking out of curiosity.

I went with this option,

I love that it doesn’t have to be on all the time, so I am not carrying the extra weight up front.

Pull the FP winch setup off of your Badlands and transfer it to a Raptor. It works just fine. I even drilled the plate to accept my parking sensors. No issues.

Well, I just went and test drove one....it felt like a small car after driving the F-150 for 2.5 hours....and I loved it. Damn, I was thinking someone here was gonna talk me out of writing that big check, I see my future now. lol
