I just can't stay away, and the color (Leadfoot) had me! This will be my 4th Raptor to date (2012/2014/2017)
Because I no longer need a diesel for heavy duty tow work, I decided to go back to a Raptor.
Probably THE best riding vehicle all around!

Awesome! I just grabbed a brand new left over 19 last month with everything but the Recaros and graphics package, both options I didn't want

Already added Husky liners out back and Rigid fog lights. RPG perch collars on the way!!

These trucks are so badass!

Agreed. They really are the best driving vehicle Ford makes.

You guys are killing me. Want one of these so badly but will not fit in parking ramp at office. Would be the perfect winter sled.

They are great on a road trip.

They really are! I beat the hell out of mine, but I also take it cross country on trips all the time and I can honestly say it's AMAZING for that. All the room in the world to be comfortable and it can handle any type of weather you can throw at it. With a ridiculous amount of "get up and go" for any situation that calls for it. I LOVE mine.

How are they for towing? I want a Wrangler, but they suck at towing much over 3000Lbs. Does the softly sprung suspension on the Raptor limit its towing too?

Congratulations on you 4th Raptor OP!! They are one fun ass ride! I love the Lead Foot color also,
I have almost 52k on my 17' already and I've loved every mile. Considered moving up to a 20' but didn't see enough benefit to justify the cost. I do like the new Fox shocks and the Recaros. Not enough to justify the cost though.

From everything I hear...throw on a weight distribution hitch and it’s a good hauler. Get even crazier and add a few suspension pieces and it gets better.

But, but, but, I want a Wrangler..... It really is a one trick pony, but most things that excel in a particular area are just that. I just need deeper pockets and a bigger garage. Is that too much to ask Santa?

My 2018 hauling a 20 foot enclosed trailer with my 2014 Shelby GT500 in it. Definitely NEED the WD hitch. The suspension on the Gen 2 Raptors are really soft. I think the max towing is 8000 lbs, WITH a WD hitch.
