Ford Raptor F-150… the most expensive truck to own?

I have a love-hate relationship with KO2s.

Same here.

They’re amazing in mud and deep snow but feel like ice skates on packed snow or ice. Might as well have a soap dispenser on the front bumper in winter.

@Eli
Exactly. I need something that actually grips on ice and lasts more than two winters.

Thinking about trying the Falken AT4Ws next.

SMILES per gallon.

No way the Raptor is the most expensive to own. I bet the author of this article has never taken a Range Rover in for an oil change.

I own a Raptor and a BMW, and this list is total nonsense. Any BMW will cost way more in maintenance, parts, and repairs.

Yep, my M3 was crazy expensive compared to my Raptor. Feels like this list was written by someone who doesn’t actually own these vehicles.

For real—my Model Y is more expensive to insure than my Raptor.

Had a BMW before my Raptor, and I can confirm. The BMW drained my wallet way faster.

I own two vehicles from their so-called ‘most expensive’ list, and I call BS. My wife’s Porsche Cayenne Turbo S e-Hybrid makes the Raptor look cheap in comparison.

12 MPG and a $2,500 tire bill every 2.5 years? Still worth it.

Whoever wrote this list clearly never owned a Mazda RX-8.

Pfft lol.

This!!!

Tires, suspension, and brakes are pricey, but my 2013 is at 180k miles and has been as reliable as my old Tundra. Thought I’d trade it in after 100k miles, but every time I drive it, I smile.

Also, trying to avoid driving a Gen 2 or 3 Raptor because I know I’ll want one immediately.

How is the TRX not on this list? That thing burns gas at twice the rate of the Raptor. Also, registration is insane. My excise tax was $1,200 this year. My state sucks.

What state are you in?

@Larkin
Maine.

Most expensive to own… but also best resale value!
