[QUOTE="adllewis42, post: 1501728, member: 35320"] The ability for a truck to be daily driven is all relative. As I have my truck fit for "overlanding", it doesn't fit in my garage here (or anywhere I've seen) and it comes with its own set of problems by being wider than a normal truck. As far as MPG, I'll average about 17.5 on long trips and worse around town. According to Ford, I could get an "ultimate Lariat" (which includes basically everything my Raptor has) for $62K. That leaves me with money to swap out the suspension and I'm still coming in less than my truck. Not only am I spending less, but the 250 would be better equipped to haul around 7000 pounds than the Raptor is. I didn't buy the Raptor because I was a "good" decision for what I like to do. I bought it because I like the truck and I can afford it. All I'm saying is that I think the Raptor is a great truck but there's objectively much better platforms out there if you're planning to mainly use it to get you around and to camp/overland it.
