    Agreed. That is why we wised up and are sticking with Japanese cars and bikes.

    We also hang on to them for at least 10yrs.

    Tacoma with Fox shocks compared to a Raptor? Is that what we’re doing now?

    You went from a Tacoma to a Tacoma with better shocks. /yay/

    Never thought I’d buy a raptor. Went to replace the wife’s Sequioa. A loaded 2017 sequoia was pushing $67k. Got the Raptor for $72k, what’s a guy to do :notsure:
    Plus every time I get that what did you buy for that Tacoma now look. I just say whatever, who drives a fricking raptor!
    Seriously tho, anyone looking to buy a kidney? Average condition mostly beer and occasional vodka.

    Sadly, you can never really know someone, even when married. If you throughly search your house you will find her ballcap. Might be hidden under a 2-4 of Bud Light.

    How did he get to that point is what I mean. You invest well to grow wealth and be rich so you can buy toys with no sweat. How’d he get there

    He owns 3 companies. 2 he started himself and 1 his father passed down. Some people just take the right risks at the right time and put in the work. And if you have it, you use it. Peoples affordability ranges are so hard to imagine.

    Fun fact, it’s actually less than an inch on both sides coming through the factory doors. Any wider and they’d have to redo them.

    If I had the money I'd go Raptor for sure.
    Yes its alot of money, but it's also one hell of a truck.
    Congrats to your dad, love that color!

    You're not crazy, but this truck could us more torque *when we want it*. Modern traction control can keep the rear from slipping easily.

    the tundra will outlast the raptor that's at least one thing that's for sure. Although, IDK why on gods green earth you'd get a Tundra Pro or a Raptor as both are terrible wheeling trucks for how much you have to pay. If you're into racing or like dunes/baja then Raptor is the shit tho

    Call a ford dealer and ask about leasing a raptor. They’ll laugh at you. It’s unheard of and stupid expensive, most if not all buy.
