    Anyone entertain a Raptor before purchasing a Tacoma?
    No but I entertained a Hell Cat before I bought my Corolla...

    Think you’re just looking at your own situation. Many don’t max the budget buying vehicles. I was absolutely cross shopping with the Raptor. Hell, I just bought my wife a new jag that was raptor money, I could have (and still can) easily buy one.

    I went thru this late in 17. Ended buying a 2018 Raptor. Fully loaded, asking 83, got it for 74. Sold the wheels and tires for 1800. Bought methods and 37’s. Made money. Now selling the truck 2 years later for 72. Should get 70 easy. It’s been fun to own but I also drive a Prius cause it is a bitch to park anywhere. Scared when we go Offroad cause it can get scratched so easy due to its width. After about 2 weeks you stop trying to beat your last 0-60 time. 90% of the time I jump in the Prius. Selling them both for the 2020 Tacoma I ordered. I’m gonna lose more money on the Prius.

    Yes! I just sold an ‘18 Raptor 802A SCREW with every option except graphics and orange trimmed seats. I had it for a year and a half and sold it for nearly as much as I bought it for. Hard to wrap your head around a nearly 6k lb truck with 35s being as quick as it is. I bought it for road trips/fun car and it was amazing! It drove smoothly, large interior with comfy seats, and had all the latest tech (perfect road tripper).
    These trucks are on different planets though. I recently did a road trip from SoCal to Oklahoma with my son (to school) in his ‘18 Tacoma Off-road. Ugh! Downshift, upshift, etc.
    Both (Tacoma/Raptor) are great trucks in their own way.

    The resale value on Raptors is truly amazing and one of the main reasons I was considering one. The Tacoma Pro is probably the next runner up among pickup trucks.

    Some folks on the Raptor forums are playing with 10 car garages/airplane hangars. Their Raptors are probably the least expensive vehicle in their stables.
