[QUOTE="BalorGrayJax, post: 1889356, member: 49189"] We got back early in the week from our adventure taking the 3 boys and wife from MN down to FL. Stopping for a couple days in St Louis, Atlanta, Nashville, and Gurnee. I’ve taken a few different vehicles on long road trips with the family in excess of 2500 miles. This would include: 2020 Subaru Ascent 2018 Tesla Model X 2017 Ford Explorer 2018 Jeep Wrangler JLU I have another road trip on the docket for the Rivian R1S coming soon. For now, my best comparison to the Raptor for comfort is the Model X we drove down to Texas. Pros: 1. Smooth ride 2. Lane keep assist worked well for 95% of the trip and kept my fatigue to a minimum 3. The recaro seats were amazing and kept great comfort 4. The rear seat has enough shoulder and hip room to where my boys rarely complained about proximity. 5. 540 to 600 miles of range between full ups 6. Quiet mode made the exhaust note of zero concern or annoyance Cons: 1. Obviously some road noise due to tires being 37s. They also have over 20,000 miles on them. 2. Besides my Jeep which was a mistake for the road trip, the other vehicles had 3rd row seating.. I think overall I prefer the 3rd row but the positives from driving the Raptor made up for it. 3. It’s a truck and the bed was full so getting to items as needed at stops when applicable was more of a challenge than from an SUV. Again another obvious one. 4. Blue cruise… or lack there of… it’s really too bad this truck doesn’t have it. 50 of the 65 hours I was driving this thing I definitely wish it was a feature available. Some day I want to own a new Land Rover Range Rover 7seater, I’m curious how our Rivian will fair, I’m also a big fan of the new Sequoia TRD Pro which I’d like to get for my wife. Overall, the Raptor ends up topping my list for road trips due to comfort, size, range, and the ability to take it anywhere on the trip off road. There probably isn’t a perfect family road trip vehicle, but this seems close outside of a motorhome. [ATTACH type="full"]398116[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
