Welcome and Happy Raptor Day.
FWIW:
I ported over to a Gen2 from a '22 BMW X3 M40i. The X3 was a legit 4sec 0-60 rocket that actually handled curvies really well on summers... save the "designed" understeer. On a group drive though twisties in Dragon territory, in the wet, M cars could not shake me.
Even though I had test driven the raptor before, I wanted to want/need a Gladiator. I went and test drove a Gladiator with 35s. The lack of torque crushed my soul.
That afternoon, I had a list of trucks to test drive. I never made it past the Gen2, and it was parked in my driveway that night.

Mine was exactly the same when I traded my c43 in for the raptor. She loved the c43. Took a month, and now she loves it. On the other hand, I do always miss my mustang, but I would never swap back for it. You made the right choice. Give it time.
The corvette could go fast, but this can go fast anywhere.

The Raptor is a very special vehicle. I'm biased, but I have owned several different types of cars over the years. It's super comfortable, wife says it's the most comfy vehicle she's ever ridden in, and very refined. But.....and it's a big BUT.....when you get it off-road, especially on fire roads and areas you can open it up....switch it to Baja mode and it's Dr. Jekyl / Mr. Hyde. The thing turns into a different vehicle. I am absolutely blown away every time I let it stretch its legs.
If you plan on not doing any off-road, and only street queening it...I would say maybe a TRX. They are faster...but a bit bloated off road imo.
