[QUOTE="nmp1, post: 1391722, member: 34019"] sell both and drive the raptor. you will probably save a decent buck on the insurance alone and owe nothing. ive been in your shoes, i just sold 2 sports cars i barely drive for a multitude of reasons. now i have a raptor on order and while i wont be daily driving it, i wont be afraid to use it more often and in all types of weather. to me the raptor is perfect if you want a mix between a muscle/sports car and and light duty pick up. fun to throw around and drive fast in but you can still do home depot runs, put all your friends and family in, or pull a trailer. they are pricey but they hold their values well and you really dont need to mod them. i always find myself explaining the concept to people that just because you dump money into a vehicle doesnt mean its more valuable. the trail boss/at4 is cool but its not a high speed runner like the raptor is, it is more of a rock crawler/heavy hauler (like a power wagon) and you cant drive it like a raptor. the raptor is so extensively modified from the standard f150 that is really isnt one. other manufacturers have made half ass attempts to compete but the truck is in a league of its own. how many times have we seen magazines and youtube channels not include the raptor in a "best off road truck" test because the raptor has such an advantage. and when they do include it its like bringing a machine gun to a knife fight and the other manufacturers cry like a little kid being picked on.
