Range Rover to Raptor!

How many times have you met an owner of a Range Rover and said “That guy seems like a good dude...” Neither have I lol! 2 weeks ago I traded in the A-hole mobile and and picked up a new 18 Gen 2. I loved the 510hp supercharged V8 on the RR and most of the features. However the Raptor checks more boxes for me and I couldn’t be happier! I do plan on getting the Raptor chipped and tuned as I’ve heard you can get 550hp on the new raptors...

G63 are a beast, but wait for next year. Significant overhaul of the G Wagon lineup , large updates to the electronics packages and options.

I say get a real G63 now!! While some people will surely laugh that I'm calling a MY18 and older G63 a real G, at least it's not a boring, boxy E class like the MY19. I just sold my 4x4 last week to get back into the 63 - I just wasn’t driving it because it’s a little too in your face.

Ya, I'm waiting on the 2019 models for sure.

The wife is pushing me to buy something new, my Raptor is over 8 years. The Gen 2's are sweet but I'm thinking about trying something different.

I've been driving a 2015 RR Sport Supercharged also and just picked up my 18 Raptor about a month ago. The dealer I bought from was kind of a PIA so I didn't even try to trade in my Sport so, as of right now, I still have it. While I loved driving it (that motor in dynamic mode is intoxicating) the Raptor is just a better fit at this point. I have 3 kids and they'd all rather go in my wifes car when we were going out since the RR was too small. I always wanted the RR but after having it and checking that box I doubt I'd go back. Two completely different vehicles for sure so they're hard to compare but I couldn't be happier with the Raptor. I had a 14 Screw before I bought the RR so it was a case of the grass is always greener, lol.

if you don't mind me asking, what were the specs (year, mileage, etc) of your RR and what did you get for a trade in?

Your truck looks sweet! Love the color and wheel combo! Do you have any rubbing? I'm looking to get the same wheel and tires.

Thanks. Not much rubbing at all... just a little at full lock. I have a set of perch collars to install that should get rid of the running... now, if I could just find the time to get them installed.
