Looks great....Feel much safer now...
First thoughts...
-Going from a BMW 7 series(RWD!)...the ride is more harsh but I feel much safer
- I have so Much more room and the raptor is 100x more practical.
- put 170k on the BMW wondering if the raptor will last as long?
- My BMW v12 got 16MPH average..Raptor seems to be few miles less....
- The blue color looks great vs my black BMW
- I can move stuff now without renting a van/truck!!!!
- Always wanted to go off road but never had the means with the BMW.
- no more winter/rain traction nightmares with the Raptor!!!
- I can see the road when stuck behind a miniVan....!lol
Overall , the raptor feels better..

How do I break the new motor in? First oil change?

Thanks

Congrats! She'll last you 200k probably if you take care of her. The F150 I sold to my sister is over 200k and still going.
