She taught me right from wrong and always told me to stay positive and help others no matter how small the deed - that helping others gives us meaning to carry on. The sun is out today and it's a new day. Life is good. I just needed a slap in the face.
...but where would you use one locally? You need to drive pretty far to find sand dunes, and it's not built to be a rock crawler.
Yeah they are. I priced one out and with incentives I'm looking at $61k-66k depending on the options.
Honestly, I'd probably barely use it offroad. I sort of want a badass, and very different DD that stands out. I am also doing some weird cross shopping and I looked at a '13 C63 and a '13 300 SRT8. I wasn't really a fan of the Mercedes though. SO that is probably out. I also like to travel a lot, and this is pretty much nearly invincible in the snow.
For 2013 it has:
Heated/Cooled Seats
My Ford Touch
Front and Rear Camera
Projector HIDs
And cool stuff like this:
and so on

The catch: I would only purchase one as an addition to a stable of a dozen other vehicles.
The Raptor has numerous bespoke features which are not shared with other F-series trucks and that's reflected in the price. Those expensive features enable the truck to do amazing things in certain types of terrain, which happen to not be readily accessible locally.
If I were in the market for a cool looking truck with wicked performance, I'd be looking at modifying a standard F150, Ram, Silverado, Taco, and would be looking at Jeeps too. Going this route, you'll be able to build something suited to exactly your tastes with features you'll actually use and quite possibly spend less doing it.
A SRT-10 would be very high on my list of consideration for "factory tuner" daily driven trucks, and if I wanted an off-road toy, I'd throw another $5-10k on a built 4runner. Best of both worlds; Viper engine for the street, and body panels I can scratch and dent without a second thought for the trail.

That off road screen honestly isn't very useful... I have it in an F150 (NOT A RAPTOR) and for the ~5 ish times i've had it off road, it's been useful a grand total of 0 times. If you're not going to use it off road why buy it? Just buy like an FX2 or a Lariat. Just my .02

they are awesome trucks my neighbour has one it's pretty cool, (I'm not trying to discourage or say anything bad about ford)
I'm sure it's a lot to do with how you treat/use the truck. After seeing some of the video's I have seen of people "off roading" in them this is stuff that would bend damn near any frame
my neighbour really likes his and it has not given him any problems he doesn't baby it but doesn't use it like some of the people on youtube and stuff if you can afford it and like I would say go for it also they are really cool trucks
I originally wanted one but ended up with the lariat.
Just didn't seem worth it. Sure it has some awesome bells and whistles, but they'll never be put to use in the bush.
If you want a truck that's probably better, just build up an old pick up, it's cheaper and if your going into the bush to 4x4, you WILL eventually break something.
Easier to buy parts for an old truck than these.
But none the less, it's a fucking sexy beast, if you've got the cash for it, then go for it!

I know all about that, the owner was an idiot. The other idiots who had their frame bent did either one of these two:
1. Modified stock suspension and went way too fast offroad(Raptors aren't invincible)
2. Towed way beyond its rating. I think the crew cab is rated at 6k#s and someone towed 12000 pounds and wondered why it bent.
I looked at a raptor before i bought my ram.. They are nice trucks but not worth the serious coin.. GO with a top of the line RAM 1500.. They are bad ass trucks.. then you can come muddin with us haha
Not interested in a Landrover. They are pretty fugly and super unreliable and they have deep depreciation. I want to keep my next DD for at least 8+ years and be able to tow 7000 pounds, possibly.

Raptors don't make the best tow vehicles because of the soft race suspension, you might want to look into that a bit if towing is a consideration.
