Two other cars in our garage that I PPFād:
our road tripping 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. Itās now at 130k miles, always been outside, and the front end is perfect. The rest of it, that wasnāt wrapped looks like itās been through a war zone. Iād do it again, highway miles are brutal.
2017 911...
Agree that some colors look really good (Velocity Blue!), but now that I've had some experience off road in this, there's no way I'd want painted fender flares. This thing IS wide, the trails are narrow in the North East - and Stealth on the black was the way to go for me. If I were never...
I would love something easy. Only thing I miss from my 392XR is the Sky One Touch top. So easy. Loved it. Have never taken the top / pieces off our Raptor. Want to thoughā¦
So Iāve plugged / had a few tires plugged in my days, but never a 37āer that would potentially see the type of use that this guy will see. Anything different to consider?
Was going to bring my 15 year old, but not at a grand. Signed up for myself though. Should be fun to drive someone elseās Raptor hard and get the coaching / training!
The 392XR is a great Jeep. Loved ours. One Touch top and that engineā¦ Amazing. But, the Raptor TROUNCES it in literally every other measure. I would never go back. But a 392XR is way better than NO Raptor. The availability issues and these price hikes are rediculous. Oh and it was...
As someone whoās been driving a ā22 BRaptor since October, itās worth it. Dang it. Is. Worth. It. Waiting a year or more for $5k? I honestly donāt think Iād do it if it were cash. Climbing up in it is still an event. I love it. My kids love it. Just awesome. The pitch as I take...
2023 is really a rough year for paint colors for Ford and many other manufacturers. It amazes me every time I walk back to this thing. No matter the parking lot, itās always a sea of boredom I need to walk through to get to this smile inducing beastā¦. Took a bit of a flyer with Code Orange...
Nothing new here. To each his or her own. I did actually appreciate that the author called out Ford directly on the price increase and their response. Good on them.
if I had to commute and park in a tight downtown situation, I would not be choosing this truck. Thankfully I donāt, as itās a...
I just built my exact Raptor, save for ā23 vs ā22 and it was $8,005 more that the MSRP I paid in October. That is quite a jump! Are Raptors susceptible to Avian Flu also?
I am not surprised you, and many others are still waiting. Mine was from a small dealer. Like your dealer, they also had four golden ticket holders out of sixty odd early folks still waiting on orders. I was their only Raptor in 22 and they didnāt know when theyād be able to get the other three...
More info: this is a winter trip from Boston to Colorado. Iād much prefer to have the Raptor while weāre in Colorado than the Pacificaā¦ (though itās actually pretty great in the snow).
Zero to do with image or being seen. Couldnāt care less. Frankly no one cares about the Raptor or even...
Thinking about a 2K mile, each way, road trip for me and two teen age kids. We have a Pacifica that is an absolute mile eater and road trip machine, but weāve been there and done that many times. We also (presently) have a Rivian R1T. Amazing truck and would undoubtedly be a better actual...
I have two trucks right now. A Bronco Raptor and a Rivian R1T. The 3.0L and 10spd combo in the Bronco is fantastic, but is just primitive compared to the Rivian. If I could get the drive line of the Rivian in the Raptor it would be truly mind blowing. And theyāre both good for 300 miles per...
No. Iāve done Ceramic in the past. Great on a black car I left outside and didnāt have the time or inclination to wash. That is not this for me. I use an Ammo stuff now. Reflex Pro and all the rest.
