I looked at one that was $82,000 out the door in Provo, Utah. Insane.... I went with the Sierra AT4. $59,000 out the door. Cash.

Much better choice Bill...and you can tow a lot more with the AT4. I have a Sierra with the 6.2L and its been great to pull car trailers and the boat with. Buddy has a Raptor and it squatted like we loaded Rosie O'Donnel and Oprah on the back of it when we used his truck to pull my boat last weekend...he loves his truck put hates the way it tows I'm surprised to hear that. Our cousin has a 2020 Raptor and I followed him as he towed his 24' Malibu (over 6000 lbs) to Tawak two weeks ago and it didn't squat the truck at all and it didn't slow him down one bit.

Raptors squat just sitting on the tailgate. I will say though when I had mine I put almost 8k miles towing my 22' bay boat and one thing it didn't lack was power. Even with over 4k hitched to the back it still ran like a scalded dog.

The Honda Ridgeline can almost tow more than a Raptor. Its completely useless unless you live in the desert. Not to mention its the ugliest ford ever. Different strokes for different folks I guess. This isn't the one my buddy has. His is 750hp so obviously different models.

I'm happy with my 2018 F-150 FX4 XLT. Love the feel of my V-8.
My nephew works for a Ford dealership and he is seeing a lot of Raptors coming back due to the excessive blow back from the turbo. Many owners are getting after market catch cans to help this. He is also seeing a lot of transmission issue.
Raptor owners love their trucks like the love for a boat. So happy to get one, hate the cost of maintenance, so happy to sell it.

750hp via engine swap doesnt change the tow rating at all

I like the newer Raptors but wouldn't buy one, it's just not practical enough for what I use my truck for. I was going to buy a power wagon but the payload and tow rating sucks. I'm going to get me a tremor with the 7.3 next.

I had a nightmare that I died and went to hell, riding down there in the back seat of a ford
Ask me who was driving it

Raptors squat just sitting on the tailgate.
Maybe the older ones? The reason I say that is that I watch this thing go to the lake and the boat is offensively huge (6K lbs) and doesn't squat the truck even two inches. Here's a pic of it parked downhill and it still doesn't lower the rear end. Maybe they changed the suspension from the high travel off road type?
