[QUOTE="xlr8, post: 1283760, member: 21997"] Long time lurker here whose considered a Raptor for years. I've been hesitant on pulling the trigger for a few reasons that i'll get into below. I currently have a 2017 CTSV that i turn in from lease next year. It's been a fantastic vehicle and will be tough to part with. I also road race a BMW with a NASA and WRL. That means I have to rent an F250 @ $500 per week when i need it, ugh. My reasons for not grabbing one is mainly due to the fact that they can't tow my trailer, car and tools like a normal F150. We also use my car as the family car, the V fits that bill nicely. However, my wife recently rode in a co-workers Gen1 Raptor and loved it, so that's key to me getting what i want. She drives an FJ and loves it but also wants a Bronco, that throws a wrench in my plan. If the Bronco turns out to be 4 door only then i'll have no issue with the Raptor. However, if they have a 2 door Bronco then I see a fight brewing. [B]So....would anyone suggest adding airbags to the Raptor and bigger brakes to tow my 10k loaded trailer?[/B] Bonus - she likes the Gen 4/5 Broncos so if that could save me from getting a new one....when.if they ever release the damn thing.
