A little pricey, but something might put on the to do list.

While a little pricey it's a good way to see how one of those vehicles are out in the wild (off road/camping) before buying one. You can get a good feel for it doing things you'd be doing with yours. If you didn't like it or it didn't perform well you're not out $60,000+. and you still had a fun time with someone else's vehicle.

Would never spend that kind of money on a truck. Those prices used to be the cost of a house, things are so far out of control. People doing 84 month loans for a vehicle, they maybe even push them to 96 months now which is just crazy.
Mine is good enough for me. Just thought it would be a cool idea to rent for a few days and have some fun with it.

Oh I agree the prices are way out of control and they're not going to get any cheaper anytime soon. My truck will do everything I need it to do (and more) and that was still $51,000. Luckily insurance paid for it when I totaled my '19 Ranger because I had replacement value on it.

I built my first house for less than a new Ford Lightning cost today! Between mortgages and car payments some people are so cash strapped now it's scary. Many can't even afford to take a day off never mind get sick. I could never live like that but I see (and know) many who do. :(

Just think if had the Ford Performance tune? If you keep its purpose in context , a luxury "rally" truck its a hell of a value. I get why it is not for everyone. I paid mid 50's for mine. I will say its a blast to drive on and offroad.

You probably watched one Raptor video and now they'll tailor your videos to your watch history.

BTW, you spelled Flashlight wrong, there's no E..... :blush:🤭
