New Raptor as Winter Vehicle

1.5" isn't a small amount, and while electronics, suspension and tire technology have made it possible to make the most out of the traction you do have, you're still bound by the laws of physics. One just needs to do a youtube video on "ford raptor snow" to get an idea.

Prior Gen1, current Gen2 owner. Having driven the new truck through a blizzard this past winter, I can tell you that the Gen2 is light years ahead of the Gen1 in these conditions. The "Weather" Mode maintains fantastic control of the the truck. Driving between Chicago and Michigan, truck never broke traction one time. Not at higher speeds, not in stop and go, all in snow. Where KO2 tires fall short is ICY conditions. They do not perform great on ice, but what standard tire does.

If you have the money to blow 65k on a "winter car", go for it.

Just weird you concerned about dropping your insurance $ for the hellcat, but are willing to spend 65k and added insurance on a winter car.
