Speaking of baby..... :D It's your family, enjoy the drive. It's a freaking truck. My wife has a 2013 LX570 owned since new and I told her I wanted to take the Raptor to Red River, NM, about an 8 hour drive. The Raptor is an awesome road trip vehicle.

my wife has the LX570 also. It’s a no brainer in my household. We all would rather drive in the Raptor.

lol...so...funny thing.......

I was setting tire pressures before leaving, and the right front valve stem became stuck open. I had to scramble and put the spare on.

Me being me, i did a much needed tire rotation. Family was pissed we were delayed an extra hour instead of a 10 min spare change.

Does anyone know if ford will replace a TPMS valve stem under warranty?

One of the main reason i got a truck was to haul the fam (especially fishing trips) and moving shit. I have a little guy and a big guy that's freshman in college. Moving the college kid's crap between breaks and end of year makes the drive/move easier for everyone. The only rule i have for the truck is no eating whatsoever inside the truck.

Why buy a vehicle if you don't want to drive it anywhere? That's like getting a supermodel for a wife/GF and never having sex with her. I drive mine everywhere I can, mileage be damned!


I couldn't stand to put my 100 mile a day commute on my Raptor, I have a TDI Passat that gets that abuse.
