Thinkin about getting a Z

Well... I've had two raptors now. Bought one of the first ones in the NE. Had the 5.4 Supercrew cab. Hated the shift pattern and the Motor didn't have enough power for the truck.

Traded it for a new 6.2 crewcab. They fixed a ton of things I hated about the 2010 version. And the new 6.2 has plenty of HP. It's a great off road truck. The suspension is awesome.. But it is a 50k + truck... Are you really going to beat the crap out of it? Getting it dirty is one thing.. using it to actually work with. Probably not. It's a toy, a fun toy

Taking it on road trips is awesome, I've taken it to FL several times. 1200 miles each way. 15 mpg

But you're not all cramped etc..

Curious where you're located in NY. My biggest concern with the Raptor is its width. Doesn't look like it would be too friendly fitting in hunting trails or anything similar lol.

It's wide.. I don't fit in many car washes lol. It's literally 7 inches wider then a F150.

I'm in upstate, south of Syracuse. I'm actually headed to CT in a hour.
