    My friend has a 2015 Raptor that he let me borrow for 2 months. Handles unbelievably good on the road and of course the open desert. Downside its wide for tight trails.
    As a daily driver its a lot of fun

    Your friend let you borrow a truck that starts at $50k+ for two months?

    I need better friends.

    I think you're missing the point of what overcompensating is...

    But the Raptor guys I've met on runs with @m3dragon modify their trucks just as much as Tacoma guys.

    You also mentioned he would be on the road a lot. When I got to ride in a raptor the interior was much more comfortable than the tacoma. Being in diesel school myself a raptor and a nice exhaust system and he'll get the attention of the kids.

    +1, people on here think the Baja and TRD Pros are over priced. Raptors are way up there. Probably hard to find a Raptor with decent miles and in good shape for $35k. Probably harder in Maine. If he is set on a Raptor then best to book a flight to the south. I use to see Raptors daily on the hwys around DFW but not so much any more. Maybe all the yanks bought them and took them home.

    Best way to convince someone away from a product is let them buy it and experience how bad it is.
