Did any Pro buyers entertain a Raptor?

Dad has an 18 802A raptor, $74k (think he paid $72k), would love one, don't think I'll ever be able to afford one. Most people that are Raptor shopping wouldnt really consider a Tacoma even a Pro, they are just so different in size, features, power, etc. Only similarity is the status/image that goes along with an offroad truck.

 

I’ve found people who can not afford the things I own.

Always tend to bash.

People who can afford the things I own,

Keep to themselves.

Different strokes for different folks.

 

This guy owned both.

Seen this dude before on YouTube. He goes through trucks as often as I change my underwear.

 

I agree with first statement. On your second, I was absolutely cross shopping 45k truck with a ~70k truck, so that statement is crap. Pro and Raptor were the only trucks that seriously interested me, so that’s why, and price wasn’t a limitation.
You're first comment seemed to be insulting that if you can afford a 65k vehicle then you wouldn’t settle for a 35k vehicle and that’s wrong. Hence my reply of not everyone maxes out to their purchase limit.

 

I wouldn't call it cross shopping, but the Raptor is on my shortlist. As is the Land Cruiser.

I'll likely buy a Tacoma or 4Runner Pro though.

 

You can pickup a new 2020 SuperCab Raptor right now for around $50k, slightly more than a TRD Pro. Ford is hurting right now with the stock price at $4.47 and the dividend was been suspended today.

With less content though, it would be like buying an SR tacoma but with the fox suspension.

 

I hear you. I considered one and went on a 10 minute test drive last year in a base model SuperCab Raptor with zero options (tough to find). The discounts were not as sweet as they are now. You can now find $56k MSRP Raptors with a 10% discount. No navigation, push button start or leather however in the base model

 

I considered a Raptor - have a friend who owns a 2019 and it's an awesome truck. But, I really don't need the full sized truck and the upcharge to get the equivalent options that come on the Pro just makes it too expensive for my tastes. Oh, and Army Green.

 

Yes. Still am. Will be trading in appx 10-12 months time. As to not be upside down on a loan

 

Partly because this is my first pickup, I had absolutely no desire to own a Raptor. I love how they look, I just don't need anything that big.

 

Definitely not. Huge pain driving a truck that big everywhere, the Tacoma is already pushing it. Plus I couldn’t get around everywhere on the farm or make it down a number of trails. I would have to cut a few trees down just to get one down my driveway. Maybe if I lived in the desert.

 

I have a neighbor who owns one and keeps it parked along the curb every day and night. He changed the wheels, installed King shocks, etc. He has it hand washed every weekend and the truck is spotless, it has never seen a speck of dirt.

 

Raptor>Tacoma. You are right

 

I wanted a Raptor, but it was too big for my garage.

 

I wanted one but it was to big for my bank account....A raptor will always be on my want list though.

 

The refreshed 2021 F-150 arrives this summer. Ford will probably release the Raptor version at a later date. Here is a rendering (Tacoma OR wheels?).

 

No.

Plus, American domestics have lost my business.

 

That looks sick as f
