Finally bit the bullet today

Looks great!!! Congrats.

Looks great in black. Still don't understand the why people choose the F250 over F350.

I enjoyed my 2018 F350 overall more than the Raptor. Had diesel, crew cab, long bed, 4x4 and got over 700 miles per tank. Felt just as fast, and a more versatile truck.

In my experience if you don't have a load in the rear of a 350 they ride pretty rough. 250 was a nice balance.

BEAUTIFUL.

Honestly, when it was time to retire my Gen1, I was on the fence between getting a decked out F-250 FX4 or a new Raptor. The Raptor won out because I will not be towing anything in the next ten years. Maybe after I retire I'll do the fifth wheel thing, but not anytime soon. My retirement present will more than likely be that F-250. It should out last me.

For "now" the Gen2 Raptor is perfect for me. Home Depot runs and camping trips out in the boonies (4x4 country) is the hardest work she'll see.

All this talk of f350S makes me think

I originally was going with a 450, just in case I needed the extra. But they had this 250 on the lot and the GM made me a hell of a deal if I bought it that day. Couldn't pass it up. As for the rear I should be ok since most of my towing is within the limits and on the highway.

Well, my time with my Raptor has come to an end. I traded it in today for a 2020 F250 Platinum. Needed a truck that I can pull with and has a longer range than the Raptor. It was fun while I had it. Anyone looking for a good deal on a completely built out Raptor, check with AutoNation Ford in Katy, TX. They should have it out on the lot after they do an oil change.

Ya know.....I don't think anyone would have judged you for keeping the Raptor.......AND getting the F250. But I'm non-judgemental that way myself

I was going to give it to my son but he said it wouldn't fit in the parking garage on base where he is stationed. He also felt bad since it would be in a parking garage. Someone else will enjoy it now.

SD looks great. I assume your Raptor is the one they have listed for $64k. No pics but price seems like they are trying to get a bit more for it. Keep us updated on the SD upgrades.

For me personally an F250 with a supercharged Godzilla motor and Carli suspension would be my choice
