TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR FORD F-150 RAPTOR. WHY A RAPTOR?

Joe has tested various high-performance vehicles, with his latest being the Ford F-150 Raptor. He embarked on his Raptor journey in 2017 with the second-generation model, accumulating an impressive 170,000 miles before its retirement.

Fast forward to October 2023, and Joe finds himself behind the wheel of his second Raptor, a testament to the enduring appeal of this reputable truck. He initially chose the second-gen Raptor for its off-the-lot capabilities, believing it could effortlessly tackle any terrain. Despite considering other contenders like the RAM TRX, Toyota Tundra, and Chevy Silverado Bison, Joe's admiration for the Raptor's performance, enjoyability, and commanding presence led him to stick with the brand for another exhilarating ride.
