    I'd trade it, that is the truck of my dreams. Would own one now if the time was right (i.e. kids grown, healthy money situation, would use it.....).

    I mean I love my Tacoma, but its a practicle truck for me to own right now. If I was at a place in my life where I didn't have to worry about being practicle (possibly where you are now), why not own it. Its a bad ass truck!

    i dont think an f150 comes with most of the options the raptor has, plus the king platinum, harley davidson, and lariat options are adding up to be more than the raptor...maybe the f150 is just a hyped up raptor?;) haha not trying to argue or anything but theres no truck on the market that is anywhere near the raptor imo

    I'll tackle some of this. Electronically adjustable shocks on a desert jump truck... Last I heard most long travel setups dont have this, and I've never seen a trophy truck with em either, I think that says something.

    It does have us one up on the front locker EXCEPT you mention a hi-tech traction control, which wouldn't work on locked axles. So either it isn't really locked and just has a-trac or locking them both makes it useless. Having to select your surface for traction control seems to me to be more of a pita than a benefit.

    "but it has a button where it will crawl down a steep grade(up to 6%) without you touching the brake" Dac or downhill assist control, taco's have it too.

    11k towing and 1 ton axles they got us, but then again it is a full sized truck with a massive 6.2 v8.

    The warranty. If you think you can go out, buy an truck a manufacturer claims can be jumped, and then expect them to fix it after you break it driving it like that you're going to be in for a surprise. The list is rapidly growing of raptor owners who were denied warranty claims because they were "too hard on the trucks"
