Ford F150 Raptor (1 Viewer)

Very seriously considering trading in the Jeep for a fast truck. F150 top of the list, but also considering the Cayenne or the new Maserati SUV. What else rules?

 
Mrs. I may be the most lax wife I know. When I mentioned this morning that the Raptor is in the running, she said "please don't do this to me."  She doesn't wanna be the town hillbilly.

Speaking of town hillbillies... discovered that our dogs were covered in fleas yesterday afternoon. So we went out and bought a bunch of flea killing stuff, fogged the house, took the dogs to the dog wash. When we got home, we still had to wait for the foggers to fumigate the house. So holding my breath, I ran inside and got the beer out of the fridge. Then picked up some burgers and tots and had an impromptu beer party in our driveway for the next couple of hours. It was awesome!

ETA: I own just a regular F150 XLT

Honestly both the Porsche and Maserati attempts at SUVs are very feminine to me.  Go with the truck.

Never thought I'd see the day when a vehicle with 424 hp is considered feminine.

I actually get what he's saying. I went to the Maserati dealer yesterday and checked this out. The design is a bit like the Cayenne which both to me look a bit like a Mazda. And a tad feminine. Not crazy about the design. 

 
Maserati :lmao:

Such a piece of ####.

If you like that design, the new Jaguar F Pace is awesome, still not leasing at good rates, but that's because it just came out and should come significantly down in 6-12 months (to purchase, fully loaded around $60k) - that one is near the top of my hit list when our lease is up next year.

Other trucks that are cheaper than Maserati I'd take over it without blinking:

GLE, X5 (great lease rates), Q7, Cayenne, Macan, Range Rover Sport, Volvo XC90, Yukon Denali

I'd take the LX 570 over all of them.

 
I'm really considering adding the Raptor to my stable.  That Ram makes me pause though if it's a possibility.

Those aren't trucks. HTH.

He said he was looking at a Maserati, they don't make a pickup, so I posted a bunch of better options in the same class as what he was looking at.

I'm not really sure what your point is here.

Ok. I get why you posted what you did. They aren't trucks though. 

You said 'other trucks that are cheaper...'

 
I never understood the sports-car truck. I mean you're still driving a pickup. It's not nimble or sporty. You can't maneuver with 700 hp and a center of gravity 5ft off the damn ground. You also Can't do a single actual thing better with more horsepower in a truck (except go fast in a straight line).  If that's your passion get a motorcycle.

Hint: I'd like to be able to go fast, but not get kilt.  TIA

The only "passion" is to fill a suburban-sized hole in their heart.  Sport-truck fits nicely.

Lots of sports cars do that GB.

OTHER REQUIREMENTS:

Enough space to fit giant, fat Otis, his hot, skinny wife, and the three girls she's popped out of her insides.  Oh, and all the strollers and crap that comes with them.

Crap, a pickup won't be good for that, will it.  Can I get some kind of cover to treat the truck bed as basically like a long trunk?  Please explain to me like I'm not well versed in rednecky stuff. TIA

You can get any number of covers or shells.  The possibilities are endless. 

 
Toppers, covers, slides, tool boxes.  If you have ever seen it, or can even imagine it without having seen it, you can get it.  The world of customized products is endless.

I wonder if I'll miss the open air summer feel of my tricked out Wrangler if I trade it in for one of these.  

That said, it is kind of a pig on the highway, isn't really very comfortable, and I've had exactly zero opportunities to take it off-road in the year I've owned it.  For some reason, when I bought it, I expected it would turn me into a mountain man overnight, and I imagined myself fly fishing in some remote area of the Catskill mountains, with my girls off in a meadow having a picnic.  I even grew a beard for a while.  It turns out I use it to go to the mall and the local Mexican place with my family, and I've put exactly 2,600 miles on it in like 14 months.

Of course, the open air is good for a drive down to the beach on a nice day, or for smoking cigars.  I have on a few nice occasions asked Mrs. O for an excuse for me to go run an errand, and I'll light up a stogie and go for a cruise to the food store, listening to Hair Nation.  With my beard.  Oh and a camo hat.  #wannaberedneck

Well you need to take that bad boy out for an epic road trip. " Otisroad17."  Swing through upstate N.Y., drive Canada to Toronto, Cross over to Detroit and have a cornhole,  down through Chicago, Milwaukee and up to the twin cities with "Otisroad17holes" at each stop, then out here to the Rockies where you can really test that vehicle and your redneckery.  Finally out to the pacific Northwest for your final hole.  After that you can shave your beard, sell your vehicle up there and fly home, or you can drive back or take the car train and spend two days drinking as you and your vehicle are brought back.

 
We have every terrain to test your vehicle here in Colorado from the Great Sand Dunes, (Not those sad little bumps you have on N.Y beaches) to Jeep trails above the clouds.  We have local brews, local distilleries, and primo weed, so much so that you will not even mind rolling your vehicle as you put it through its paces. 

 
This sounds amazing.  But, alas, career demands and family will not let this happen anytime soon.  Still, one day.
