Wait one minute! They charge more to insure a Raptor? Is it significant?
My insurance with Allstate is now 18 bux a month more than my 2019 lariat fx4 was. Been a good boy, no points. As fast as the RR got to 100mph today that may change soon😄

Guess I'm strange. I've driven a ranger raptor and a full size raptor, loved them both but the price and then the insurance stops me dead in my tracks. Right now my wife is 1 year from retirement. If I get a raptor she doesn't get to retire for another 3-4 years. I'm ready for her to retire so we can travel that stops me dead in my tracks. So enjoy your raptor, I don't guess I'll get one.
I thought the same thing 2 years ago. Never know? The insurance increase was not much for me.....but gas, only have 100 miles but got 14.5 on my commute to DC and back today. Im sure it will improve, but probably never over 20. My 2019 lifted with 32s got a little better than 20mpg.

Oh, that's not terrible. It's probably just because it's newer, not because it's a sport machine.

Not with a dampner🤣 Its probably same, but it does have a ruler.
Yeah, because I am always measuring shit all the time, and hate that I have to keep trying to find my tape measure, that's always flying around in the bed. (I'm a liar.)

405 hp and 4.27 gears....it wants to go! But it still turns and stops like a 5300lb truck, albiet a well handling one.

its just money right?
You almost have me sold! I'm going to call tomorrow an see if my "guy" can give me a ball park estimate on my Bronco trade. If it's where I want I might take the plunge.

What do you think of the 10R60? The one in my bronco is night and day smoother IMO

Did not take must arm twisting did it? 🤣 I have always had good luck buying in later February/March on year old models. Seems dealers are motivated. The new tranny is much smoother thsn the 10r80 in my 2019. It also has been beefed up for high output 3.0 I hear it only get smoother with the Pro Cal tune, looking forward to finding out.

I'm happy you folks have the RR but you sure are making it hard and envious talking about adding mods to the RR. ;)
Like you can have 50+ hp and 83+ torq more with the ProCal tune from Ford?

Sorry could not resist. 👹

I traded in my 19 lariat for the RR in early February. They gave me $17,750. Which I was good with. Had 115k on it and did have the trans rebuilt in November 25.

I have a tune from Torrie in the RR already and it’s silly fun! Still super drivable MPG stays in the 17-18mpg (I drive a decent amount of highway) but the power when you need it will put a big smile on your face!

I would absolutely LOVE a new RR, but given my 2019 Lariat is all paid for and does everything I need it to, I can't justify spending another 40 grand (20k ish trade in and 60+k purchase) on one. They look amazing though!

I don't even want to go test drive one since it will make me even more tempted to buy one......

Congrats to those who've bought one - I'm sure I would love it, but...... I'm too cheap to do it. :LOL: Maybe if I win the lottery or something.
