[QUOTE="ME120, post: 1332760, member: 26625"] I am posting this thread because I am curious how other forum members and raptor owners actually use their ford raptors and if their ford raptors are their daily drivers, weekend trucks, or a truck you bought for only off road use. I currently have a 2019 raptor, fully loaded, and I live in maine. We do not have deserts and for the most part our off roading up here really is gravel pits and or paper company gravel roads up north. A lot off the true off road trails up here are not like being in Colorado, Nevada, or Arizona its more of narrow deep woods trails that maybe a ford ranger would fit down. Most of my driving is on pavement, I'd say 85 percent, due to where I live in maine. So the other day I was thinking, why did I buy a ford raptor living in coastal maine ? Well here are my reasons : 1) I love the look the look of the raptor. I think its the best looking truck period. 2) I love the interior 3) The seats are the most comfortable seats I have ever been in, this includes some high end euro trash sedans. 4) I love the way it handles and drives, except in the snow but that is more about the tires. 5) I really like the sound of the engine with the stock exhaust and the eco boost. 6) I love the technology in the raptor. 7) I love the over all performance = speed and acceleration-engine. Ok after listing all the reasons why I love the ford raptor I still sit back and say to myself, " Am I REALLY using this truck for what it was built for ?". I have never been air borne in the raptor and we have no deserts in maine. Is the raptor over kill for using it as a daily driver when it is spending 85 percent of it's time on paved roads. I'll probably only 50 percent of the trucks capabilities. I honestly feel like maybe a SUV or a Ford platinum would have been the better choice for me , due to the environment I live in. I do a lot of hunting, so the back bed is important to me, because if I get a deer that's where it goes, and I have had 800 pounds of payload in the bed 3 times this winter. So I apologize for the long winded thread, but I am just curious how other raptor owners use their raptors and where they live. [/QUOTE]
