Hey all, wanted to get some feedback. On my second Jeep GC, I love the vehicle (at least the current generation) as a good all-around vehicle - great on road handling (relatively speaking) and confidence to tackle pretty much any type of weather.
That being said, the new Raptor has caught my eye and while I have yet to test drive one (hopefully soon if any of the local dealers have one on the lot), I wanted to get your opinion on driving the Raptor as a DD (of largest concern is the size of the truck... while I get that you can park in the back of the lot, what do you do when you go somewhere where parking is tight and limited?). No, I will not use the bed of the truck for anything more than toting my GF and mine's road bikes when we go on rides out of town, nor will I tow anything (but it's nice to have the option if the circumstance were to arise). Additionally, I just love the look of one and feel like it would still look good many years from now (one thing I try and look for in a vehicle is how well it ages, let's be honest, some vehicles look great new and then look like crap later on). Should I make the plunge, I won't have any itch to mod it (I have a Wrangler that satisfies that need). Just wanted to get current owners' input (especially if you have come from a Jeep GC).
Appreciate the input!
