SuperDuty is a totally different machine, and I don't understand why people buy F250's when there is the F350. My 2018 F350 is better in many ways over my 2020 Raptor, for on road performance.
The Raptor looks "cooler" and is waaay more capable as a fun vehicle off road. For towing and smooth highway driving, the SuperDuty with diesel takes it any day.

Go for the 350 if you need to tow. I have been looking at them too now because my towing needs might change

I had no idea there were composite panels on the Raptor. Sorry about your accident, that would have ruined my day in a big way but glad you're okay.

I’m sure the Tremor is a good truck for it’s intended market. That is not the Raptor market.
it could do fine, if you don’t mind the ride and a 0-60 time slower than a Popemobile Fiat 500
it’s less Godzilla and more Geico Gecko.

I came from the diesel world before buying my Raptor. I had a 2004 F250 6.0, 2011 F350 6.7 and a 2015 F350 6.7. GREAT trucks if you're towing. I sold the 31' toyhauler and dune buggy and the boat. I don't need to tow heavy anymore so the Raptor is perfect for me. Much more comfortable as a daily driver. If your not towing a lot, the diesel is not the solution, get a gasser. I was having issues with my diesel because I wasn't working it hard enough. They need to work to burn off the soot, otherwise you'll have regen issues.
