Explain to me why this isn't the ideal daily driver? Gas mileage is shit, yes, but you could get this for less than Turbo GT, Urus, RSQ8, etc and get a vehicle that's nearly as fast and 10000x more capable, and if you're paying that much you probably don't give a shit about $300 / month in gas.

>Gas mileage is shit
Thats something that only affects the poors.
If the difference in the cost of 12mpg vs 32mpg has a negative impact on your life than you have failed already and should be using public transportation to your wagie job.

>>28618420 (OP)
>$82k starting
>$115k if you want a V8
If you want an actual new boomermobile then a C8 Stingray or E-ray are WAY better and cost $10k less
>even mentioning any of those badge whore SUVs
Fuck off troll, keep driving your 2003 Civic

>>28618478
Go walk into a ""luxury"" German dealership and see what $100k gets you. Enjoy your sea of piano gloss plastics and a 4cyl. When you compare the truck to that the truck seems like a pretty amazing value.

>>28618486
It still does a lot more than a 2' trunk.

>>28618456
Rich people value their time.
Spending time at a gas station is something they avoid.
.t cousins are multi-millionaires

I only see dumbfuck white general contractors driving raptors.
Jose farts down the road in a rolled-over ford ranger he bought from his cousin and pays 0 taxes on his under-the-table earnings while your dumb ass carries a $1lk+ "big boy" car payment every month and helps uncle sam to a cut of every cabinet install job you do.

>>28618516
A Raptor R goes over 400 miles on a tank of fuel so you won't be refueling that much more often than a 30mpg car with a small tank.

>>28618420 (OP)
If you're choosing between trucks and "luxury" SUVs to begin with, then you are a woman, and your opinion does not matter

>>28618420 (OP)
I am getting 17 mpg on 34's with the V8

>>28618456
>If the difference in the cost of 12mpg vs 32mpg has a negative impact on your life than you have failed already
I have the Thousand Mile Stare from shortages and natural disasters so I like mpg because of that. It's like those Great Depression era elders that make it big and hoard literal tons of canned food in their mansion because of growing up in hard times.

>>28618614
Trucks are manly. Sedans are for old people and homos

>>28618486
Yeah. I don't know the reliability of that supercharged 5.2 but I'd do an f350 with the 7.3 pushrod if I were to buy a nutruck. Honestly though since literally everyone at Ford has vax induced brain fog since 2022, I won't buy a post covid Ford.
-t. Has four Fords sitting in his driveway

>>28618843
Whatever you say hon, be careful coming home from the store

They are just so eye-wateringly ugly, it hurts to look at. All the yank shit is, it's like the designers got the committe together to design the ugliest eyesore of a front end they possibly could. I wouldn't want to be seen driving something that hideous.

Have driven the chink local import version (Holden colorado jej) hated the driving experience couldn't wait to get out of it.

>>28618420 (OP)
>>Faster to 60 than most supercars 20 years ago
Costs more than 20yo supercar so thanks for nothing man.

>>28618853
>They are just so eye-wateringly ugly, it hurts to look at.
But you did look at it. That's why truck look the way they do. It catches your eye regardless of what they look like, so they fulfill their purpose.

>>28618876
They don't catch your eye though. All modern trucks look almost exactly the same. When you see hundreds of them a day on the highway or in parking lots, you don't give a single one a second glance. On top of that your reasoning makes no sense. Does that mean you should marry the ugliest woman and wear the ugliest clothes so you get some crumb of attention?

>>28618827
I honestly think surviving multiple hurricanes has done this to me but in reverse. I want 4wd minimum. BIG diesel to go far. Extended in bed fuel tank too.

I've been through two hurricanes that resulted in seeing neighbors get helicoptered away or have to axe their way out of their attics.

Shit hits different.

>>28618420 (OP)
The Raptor R is probably the best value out there for holding money. The new Gs aren't keeping up leaving you with the R. I haven't looked at the new Tacoma to see how strong they are yet. Wranglers fell off a cliff as did the LC.

If I was a richfag this is definitely my go to. There's really nothing else I'd rather put my money into.

>>28618903
All upper trims hold value like your wouldn’t believe

>>28618533
My rich cousins use EV with chargers at home
They spend 0 minutes at a gas station.

That's how Rich pppl think anon.
Time is more important to them.

>>28618420 (OP)
I'm not an inbred simian.

>>28618614
This.

>>28618853
Their focus is on looking big and looking slablike. They know what manlets and women want in a car.

>>28618990
I don't think you know what "rich" really means. Also what happens when their Tesla needs parts and they have to drive a ICE rental for months at a time? So much for "saving time".

>>28620008
I mean you obviously don't know what rich means, If you don't think time is valuable.

Trucks are based

>>28618990

Does your rich cousin go to another school?

>>28620101

There are zero rich people who give a fuck about getting gas to the point where they'd purchase an EV to save time. They care much more about spending their time doing what they want. If they're actually rich and not just some 7-figure net worth cosplayer then they'll have their help get gas for them.

>Explain to me why this isn't the ideal daily driver?

Handles like shit. Top heavy. Acceleration is boring. Gas mileage is shit. What do you need a truck for?

I'd rather have a sport sedan as a daily and an old single cab truck for work and off road. Driving a work truck around as a daily like a compensating soccer mom is stupid.

>>28618420 (OP)
Would prefer a Cayenne GTS or Turbo.

>>28623620

>Handles like shit

You have never driven one.

>What do you need a truck for

Pissing off cunts like you, mostly

my dad has a loaded '23 F250 powerstroke tremor and it runs like a fuckin raped ape. literally as fast as a c7 lmao.

>>28620981
I saw a Sneed Ford IRL recently.

>>28624295

Kill yourself mutt scum

>>28618990
>rich guy that just became CEO of my company still drives an F250 Platinum
I don't know what rich people think desu.

I have baby raptor because I'm not rich but its honestly the most well rounded vehicle I've ever owned. I live innawoods though, if I lived in the city or suburbia I would've bought ct4v blacking and then killed myself because I live in the city or suburbia.

>>28624364

>Does 60-130 pull
>License suspended for 6 months

0-60 time is the most important performance stat for 99%+ of people.

>>28624459
looks comfy.

>>28624533
Nah, it's 40-80 or something like that you commonly use for overtaking.

>>28623620
This

>>28623620
>Handles like shit
lol great bait

>>28624831
I think people find it hard to believe because of the low overall grip level but all of the raptor vehicles are quite good dynamically. Plus that squishy ride on shitty tarmac and potholes gravel roads is nice

I’d rather a Raptor R than the TRX. I like looking down into Raptors from my 2500 Cummins.

>>28625111
i was mainly thinking of the absurdity of having handling as a factor influencing the decision to buy a truck. unless you're some madlad that intends to hoon it and make it do things it wasn't designed to really do

>>28625466
But it was designed to do those things. When you buy one you get tickets to raptor school where you can go and jump them

>>28626076
br/o/ the busriders here dont have a clue.
its hopeless trying to educate them.
they really nailed it on the raptor and it's the closest thing to a trophy truck you can buy from a major manufacturer.

>>28626099

>he buys a truck for performance

>>28618818
I can respect the two doors and the thick sidewalls, hell yeah brother

>>28626338
I know its hard for you to comprehend but some people have both

>>28626076
huh i didn't know that. that's actually pretty cool.

>>28626338
That truck can still tow 8700lbs which is more than you can legally tow with your euro license. An F-450 can tow 40,000lbs and does 0-60 in under 6 stock. Just a engine and tranny tune wakes it up and shaves that time way down. See in America we just do trucks different and the right way.

>>28626338
Problem solved

You do know that you're a massive faggot, right?

>>28627491

>>28618853
>They are just so eye-wateringly ugly
Low t opinion

>>28624459
Is it still iPad city on the inside of these things

>>28627639
Unfortunately yes. There are physical controls for climate and radio at least and its well integrated instead of glued on top of the dash. I can post a photo later but you can just Google it as well. I kind of like the portrait mode alignment of the screen though to be honest and running on-x offroad so I have a satellite image map when Im 400 miles into the woods is pretty sweet.

where am living, you can't buy a truck unless you're a citizen of the country.
and it's impossible to get a citizenship unless you're actually indigenous(ish).

>>28620008
>what happens when their Tesla needs parts
what fucking parts, anon
its a battery and some motors

Where I work everyone earns ~90k and has a CDL. Almost non of our driver pool of roughly 100 has a truck, the ones that do are usually older full beds. In fact the only person who has a fully kitted out modern shitty pickup truck is a 50 year old woman. Most people have riced out hondas, old fords/chevy's or any form of toyota.

Also almost nobody who buys one of these trucks can drive them. The have no concept of the space around the truck and can't even pull forward into a spot at a grocery store.

>>28628393
Funny, its the exact opposite at my work. All of my cdl drivers have pickup trucks including me. I have a class a and drive a pickup truck most of the time.

I love sports cars and sedans too. I have had a gr86, gti, golf r, e39 m5, e39 540i6, e30 325is, e28 535is and more. Im currently in the market to replace gr86 with likely c5 or c6 corvette.

You dont have to be on team truck or team car. Variety is the spice of life man, relax a bit

My experience
I've been driving a couple cars for the last few years but will be going back to trucks. Comfy on and off road. can pull my boat and other toys. keeps messy stuff outside the cabin away from the air im breathing.
small cars are alright but a truck does a lot more that i want to do

>>28618478
a new 4x4 v8 crew cab with leather seats dont start quite that high. might as well be a million dollars to you if you cant imagine affording one

Honestly guys, I really want a PowerBoost F150. But I could also probably just use the money to put a twin turbo, good heads, and a tune on my 351 and have just as much fun.
