Well, it looks like I have to change my user name. I did the unthinkable and sold my Macan for a truck! People thought I was crazy until they rode in it

Picked up a new 2017 Ford Raptor. The thing is a rocket. Have zero regrets making the switch. Sure, parking is a tad more challenging, but theses things have all of the new tech now adays (360 cam helps a ton!)

Getting the opticoat pro plus ceramic coat installed today. This will be an outside truck due to the fact it does not fit in the garage anymore!

Any other truck guys on here?

Awesome truck, pics or you didn't really get it.

MacanS · 15 August 2017, 06:43 AM

Fixed!

Pix · 15 August 2017, 06:32 AM

Had a Ford F250, not as much fun as the Raptor.

I once had this 1975 Toyota....

superdog · 15 August 2017, 07:26 AM

Beautiful.

I'm a big fan. Congrats.

Nice! I have contemplated ordering an 18 several times but feel like I'd be cussing trying to park it when I go downtown

It's a supremely bad mofo.

It's not horrible once you get used to it and use the parking tech.

Most garages will make you cry. I don't try anything smaller that 7 ft

Are those lights the turn signals? They look pretty cool

So the truck is wider than what the government considers standard, so it has to have the amber running lights ford just integrated them well

Ahh that makes sense!!

Awesome truck congrats

Texag0842 · 15 August 2017, 07:49 AM

I went from a Macan GTS to a Raptor. Technically this is my second Raptor had a 13' Terrain and then in 14' I bought a black version when I heard the V6 talks.

Wife is in a SQ5 so it's the best of both worlds

Those V8S SING. The new v6 HO is truly amazing. The sound is totally different than yours, but I think is a good and refined different.

Also helps it's faster than my Macan S

Check out the thread I posted yesterday about two f150's I just picked up.

I'm a diehard V8 fan. But these trucks are simply amazing. So impressive.

It's also mostly fake and pumped in via the cars speakers.

LOL, ain't that the truth...this forum is good for that. Maybe I should look at one of those, or one of these.

Do it. They are gorgeous and refined. The panoramic sunroof is amazing!

Some pics the dealer I bought it from took. If you do some looking, MSRP is not hard to find. I refused to pay over.
