Default New Pickup

I traded in my 2014 Corvette for this 2017 Ford Raptor. It has over 13" of suspension travel, 35" tires and a twin turbo V6 putting out 450hp and 510ft/lb. I will miss my vette but this thing is a beast!!

Very nice! Good colour choice.
I have a fiesta ST, I really like the turbo engines from Ford current models.

Thumbs up Re: New Pickup

I bet the commuter time to work is a lot shorter in the Raptor.......

How are you liking the raptor after a few weeks of ownership?

After 3 months my impression of the truck is overall

Likes:
Lots of power and good acceleration for a pickup
Rides great, especially off-road (hit 75 in soft sand on the beach!)
Looks good
Tires are pretty quiet for 35's
Chicks dig it

Dislikes
Auto stop/start feature (truck will kill itself at stop lights and start back when you let off the brake) I did not buy it for fuel economy....
Aluminum bed really does dent easily
Exhaust note of V6 especially after owning a corvette

Very cool ride!
Check your settings on the left side of the dash. In one of the many menus on my 2015 F150 there is a place to disable the auto stop/start feature.
