Raptor is my DD. Would love a fast sedan but I’m always hauling stuff.

Group buy/ Snow Raptor Rally meetup?
Where do we go? Utah? Colorado?
I'm in. Come out here to CO, lots of places to play. Or meet half way in UT.

Do you have a Ford dealer?

Can you attach a snow plow to the new Raptor or do you need regular F150/250? That might be a selling point with the wife.

I've owned several e46 and e92 M3s. Grew up on 911s and M3s, really. I rejected the f80 M3 for a good while. I didn't want to see the car go turbo, get bigger, add two doors etc. However, I had a chance to drive one a few weeks ago and I have to tell you, it was a blast. It's a lot of car for the money and as an all-arounder sports sedan, I'd put it right up there with the Giulia. YMMV

I wouldn't. Raptors are not made to have a snow plow, woudn't even put it on a f150. f250 and up, preferably diesel

Unless you are plowing professionally, get a Wrangler or something small as it is much easier to operate. BTW anyone want a euro spec meyers plow off a Swiss Land Rover Defender, let me know.

I see a million Raptors on the road all the time here in Texas but I've yet to see a single supercab. At least around here it doesn't seem to be a popular model.

Edit: I spoke too soon, as I pulled out of my neighborhood today there was a supercab waiting at the light. First one I can remember seeing, it looked small. I'd definitely do a screw.

I have a 18 blue super crew. Would do it again if I had the choice. Love the big cab which makes it workable to take 5 full size people when needed. Even find my wife stealing it at times to run around town. Only negatives are it is hard to park because it is so big and doesn't turn great with the long wheel base and it doesn't fit in an average size garage (it is around 20' long). Garage isn't a problem for me, but I could see a lot of people needing to leave it outside.

Almost never see a supercabs... but here is mine. no sunroof, no bed liner, no tailgate step. Plenty of tech however.

I love this truck, no more range rovers.

Yep...everyone is so worried about depreciation.......the ADM game that dealers played paid off for them boosting the prices for GT cars and for GT car owners.......win win win for all parties, but probably half the reason people buy GT3s..........it was one of my reasons before I sold it........great car but not for everyday use, which I thought it could provide.........went TTS instead and use it more.........
