    My raptor got closer to 9mpg (which is why I got rid of it). And it is totally useless for anything but offroad.

    But, anyone could get laid driving a raptor. They are chick magnets.

    Not to mention it's rated to tow substantially less than a normal F150. Due to the suspension I suppose. I don't think they're rated for much more than the Taco.

    What wheel change?

    I've had the truck for about 3 weeks and it definately drives different than the taco. The taco was much lighter and felt more nimble. But the raptor soaks up everything on and off road. I'm getting around 14.5 mpg average. Not too bad. Today I squeezed out 15.6 cruising 65 to work. In texas everyone has huge trucks I felt like I was in a mini cooper driving the taco. I miss the taco, but I LOVE the raptor :) Oh and it's the 6.2L
