[QUOTE="jaz13, post: 1340137, member: 24095"] Fit and finish, performance, price; pick any two. As with everything in life, you get what you pay for. An entry-level X5 starts at $60k and is far less capable than the Raptor. You get a lot more performance for your money in the Ford and you get a lot better fit and finish in the BMW. Jeep/Ram give you even more novelty features than Ford, but they sacrifice reliability and build quality to reach their price point. Toyota is the opposite. Their vehicles have better quality and reliability, but they achieve that by building, simple, out of date products. Merc's G-waggon gives you fit, finish, and performance, but it also starts at $125k. I'd love to have better build quilty and reliability in my Raptor, but I'd also love a free lunch too. If the choice was between the current truck, or spending $30k extra for Merc level fit and finish, I'm very happy with what I have. Part of the reason I enjoy the Raptor so much is because it doesn't have a fancy interior and flawless paint. That means I have zero reservations about using the truck for what it was designed for.
