If you didn’t own a Raptor… what truck would you get?

That’s what I keep hearing. I might end up in a city where the Raptor is just too big. Been thinking about the Bronco.

That’s exactly why I sold my Gen 1. If one of my neighbors parked a little off, I was stuck in my alley. Ended up getting a 2-door Jeep Rubicon instead.

A Ford f***in’ RANGER.

Good choice. :ok_hand:

When I got my Raptor, I was actually looking for a tow vehicle for a 20’ toy hauler. My second choice was a 200 Series Land Cruiser with the 5.7L V8, and third was a Nissan Titan Pro-4X.

Still dream of owning a Land Cruiser, but the Titan? Yeah, not interested anymore. The Raptor spoiled me.

Not a truck, but I’d go for a new Lexus GX 550.

Maybe a Gladiator or Ranger Raptor. The Silverado ZR2 is nice, but that tiny gas tank is brutal.

Toyota Tundra TRD Pro… but the V8 version, not the new one.

With a supercharger. I drove one, and it was a blast.

I had a 2011 Raptor for 8 years, then my lifestyle changed, and I switched to a Jeep Rubicon. Still have the Jeep, but now my daily is a 2024 Silverado ZR2 with the 3.0 Duramax.

It’s no Raptor, but it gets 23 MPG, which helps a lot.

Ford Maverick. I’m sick of getting 12.2 MPG in my Raptor.

I get it. I’ve looked at the Maverick too, especially the ‘25 Tremor. But I’d miss my big V8, and I refuse to buy something without ventilated seats.

@Keir
I’ve owned three Raptors, still have my ‘22, but I just don’t drive it much anymore. For my 200-mile work commutes, the Maverick just makes more sense.

TRX, I guess? But Raptor FTW.

This is the answer.

GMC AT4X 2500 Duramax.

Shame they don’t put that 6.6L Duramax in the 1500…

New Tundra or TRX. Loved my Gen 2 Tacoma, but it was just too small with two kids.

So, F-150 Raptor to Bronco Raptor isn’t an option? Guess I’d go TRX then.
