Thanks brother. Appreciate it.

So far, nothing but hugely positive feelings towards the Raptor.

Keeping it in my office garage overnight and driving it during the day. So I'll likely keep the miles low(ish) on both vehicles.


These also come with a 15k dealer mark up. However, this particular dealer has been great to me, so I have bought all my fleet vehicles from him. I got this for list. Based on the resale values of these things, I am feeling pretty good about the whole thing.

Congrats! Every time I see a blacked out range I wonder if I should have gone that way instead of the M5. Enjoy!

Nature of the beast and I can relate.

You did good. M5 is a beast and a legend. And you can’t go wrong.

Wife has Macan Turbo. I'm happy with the Raptor. Put 25k miles on it in the first year. It just opened up more and more recently. I love it

I'm pretty much set on a Raptor as my next truck, but I tend to find my current F150 width just fits within most parking lines. Knowing the Raptor is about 7" wider, what's your experience like in parking spaces?

The Raptor looks like a blast!! The FFRR is very nice. Can’t wait for next month. Would also love to hear an update on the GT4! That’s an extraordinary car.

LOL at getting both cars. If you have the space.. Raptor have a deceptively comfortable ride due to its off road suspension setup. Driving around pot hole filled roads in the winter is child play.

that's my biggest challenge. lack of space.

but the Raptor stays in the office. The FFRR goes home with me nightly.

Or vice versa depending on the situation. My office is a large warehouse with two indoor dock bays. so in that regard, I have plenty of room.

I even fenced off some space in the back of it for the GT4 and a buddies 300Z.

Congrats. Excellent choice.

I am an F150 Crew E Boost fan myself. Lost my 2011 (first year they came out) to an impaired driver.


Still liking my 2015. Here is a pick. Color goes good with a our corn field.



About 1 - 2 tenths of a second slower than the mustang with the EB. Handles like a car, and gets pretty good mileage.

And of course, I can put hay in the bed. My donkeys insist on that.

But the Raptor? In a class by itself. Awesome.

And yours is flat out beatiful.

Enjoy!

I have a RR Td6. Love it. Average 25mpg.
Great on and off road and great tow vehicle.
Most importantly with any Land Rover the dealer service department is the best people to know. Also get as much warranty as possible.
And when it’s no longer covered flip it.

Agree.

Lots of place by me too.

Racing next weekend, two separate events, as the season is nearly over.

But after that, this sucker will be getting very dirty.

I’m loving this thing.

Can’t imagine I’ll keep it once I get close to the warranty. But it goes in for a ppf wrap this week. If I keep it two years, that’d be super.

So far, still can’t imagine another vehicle I’d prefer to be in.

It is nearing time to trade my King Ranch. I just test drove a Raptor earlier in the week. I might end up trading my "luxury" truck for a new Raptor.

The Raptor just looks so bada$$.

That being said, I don't know if I can give up my massaging seats.

Congrats on the new rides!
