I don’t really miss having a truck

[akturbo]

Same here. My utility trailer does everything I need, and big spontaneous purchases can stick out the open roof:

I miss my Raptor. The best overall vehicle I’ve owned and the list is long. Probably the perfect Texas vehicle.

Except they won't carry much or tow much(compared to a typical pickup).
I've owned two Raptors and loved them both, but my Bronco and 6.7 Tremor duo are my perfect setup for me.

Nothing like someone quoting you on something you weren’t even discussing.

I had an F350 KR when I needed to tow big. My Raptor towed my bass boat well and that’s all I needed to tow with it.

Again, it was my perfect Texas vehicle as it did everything I needed it to do well.

Texas is the perfect state. Most any vehicle is better in Texas.

Please....let me apologize for comparing my experience with your experience......didn't mean to upset you I assure you.

I don’t either. Last 2 vehicles have been crew cab F150. Trailer in the future. I’m considering a cross brace for the front and back to support stuff. Don’t want to damage my windshield area.

Truck was cool. Then I just didn't use it as a truck as much as I thought I would. I really used it like an SUV that happened to have a trunk that was separate.

I always had a truck and never used it besides carrying my kayaks and I’d always get so nervous doing any “truck stuff” with them since they were so expensive and new lol I’m with the folks who say they’re just gunna rent a truck when they need one

Me too, my 2011 Raptor was the best. First car I ever bought new and I daily drove it for 11 years without issue. I love the Bronco thus far, but trading in the Raptor was almost heartbreaking

I'm still debating in my head on keeping my 2003 F150 (I bought it new way back when). But I may just trade it in on the Bronco if it ever gets built. Save a little on extra insurance and continued maintenance costs on the old truck.

OP, that's exactly how I plan to use my new Bronco (when necessary). Currently own an '18 Raptor that I'm going to miss for sure. You should have seen my neighbors when I pulled up with 16' baseboards going all the way to the dash via my sliding rear window I also like just throwing my MTB in back and heading out. Ordered the tow pkg. and have a Yakima hitch rack that I'll use with the Bronco. I'm retired and downsizing to the Bronco, but really going to miss the Raptor been an amazing ride! Drove it home from St. Luis, MO so I wouldn't have to pay $10K over MSRP here on the West coast.

Ditto, considering keeping the Raptor but not really fond of two times the insurance, maintenance & registration fees, etc. Hard choice as it's been a great truck for sure and only has 39K miles on it.

OK, so not sure what's up but this was actually a quote/reply to above Raptor owner...

The Bronco is a truck because it is body-on-frame. A pickup truck just a specific type of truck with an open bed. Discuss.

 

[MyDogGoldie]

Mine is the 2016 F150 - Always need a truck to tow the trailer, pack with mountain bikes, firewood, sandy beach chairs, fit 5 comfortably, etc..
Wife's is the 2023 Bronco -

2 day old Bronco, waits for 35s and a lift,, but so beautiful as-is.
