Mate, if you get a raptor you will fall in love with it. Not that I recommend it for you unless you are a 4 by 4 enthusiast. Not really ideal for the city streets. But great car.
No, I only like sports cars… not that I have one these days.
I drool over classics like Maserati, Aston Martin, etc.
I wouldn’t be caught dead in a ute and I don’t care how “done-up” it may be.
Don’t we all? Aston Martin.
The raptor is already done up by Ford. Has one of the most expensive suspensions on the market and everything is reinforced. The Diesel is a twin turbo with plenty of power.
The only thing that needs doing after market is the front bull bar, and rear bar. Maybe put a snorkel as well. But none of that adds to its performance.
It’s in a different league to the Maserati, Aston Martin etc. The raptor is an off-road performance car. It’s bullet proof almost when it’s off-road.
In the city it almost drives like any other car, the only difficulty is it’s size.
You get more heads turning to a raptor than you do with a Maserati. Sometimes it’s parked next to a ferrari (no it’s not mine) and believe me, it looks like it just wants to drive over the top of it and crush it like a coke can.
