[QUOTE="PrepVet, post: 958147, member: 19768"] Hi RaptorForum, This is yet another should I buy a Raptor thread. I am at an impasse about what to put in my garage. I am debating if I want to replace my 2012 Explorer XLT (very nicely equipped) with a Raptor. It would not be a new Raptor. My criteria is tight and limiting but I have found a few in the U.S. That I would make a trip to get. 2011+ 4door navi under 60k miles and around $40g. Tough but doable. I've found a few I really like right at the $40g mark. The Expo is a fine car, but I just isn't me. It is my familytruckster so it has no need to be fun, but it is boring. Nothing truely wrong with it aside from some odd rust issues on the lift gate but it just, as I said is eh. But it is comfortable and great for getting the kids in and out and about in. I currently also have a 2005 Power Wagon that I have further modified and used to go out to Moab fairly often but not at all any more I fear. I do use it around me in the mud and rocks however. It will not be sold, ever. I love it and it has some miles and trail rash but it is too big to drive daily and can be a pita to get the kids in and out with the height. But it is my truck and I love it. I additionally have an old JK 2door that I use as my DD and the toad behind the old class a gasser. It is a real bitch to get the car seats in and out of as well as the kids. I really want a Raptor, I have for a while. Background, I have always been more of a go fast car guy, until I really got into off roading in the Power Wagon. I sold off many Mustangs (I've had fox bodies, SN95s ans S197s) and even my cherished Terminator. I miss having a go fast car, painfully at times, but I'm not sure if I want to go back to that especially with the two little kids. But I am also seriously considering either a 2011+ Mustang GT or 2009+ Challanger R/T, but as I see it in words in front of me I think that is a poor life choice right now. Which brings me back to keeping the Expo and not spending any more money or getting a Raptor and taking on debt. I HATE DEBT. I have been going back and forth both her end elsewhere on the intrawebs but I still can't ring myself to pull the trigger... [/QUOTE]
