I’ve got a 2017 King Ranch and absolutely love it. It pulls my 3000 lb dump trailer with ease, even when loaded heavier, and the backseat is perfect for grown adults. It’s been everything I wanted in a truck.
That said, I’m thinking about upgrading while it still holds good resale value at 75K miles. I’m eyeing the 2023 King Ranch and the Raptor. The Raptor seems fun and cool, but the trim doesn’t seem as luxurious as the King Ranch. Less leather too. Plus, I’m not sure how practical it would be for towing. Right now, I’m leaning heavily toward the King Ranch.
Someone smarter than me, convince me to consider the Raptor—or confirm I’m making the right call!

I don’t and probably won’t. King Ranch it is.
If you’re not off-roading and want luxury, the King Ranch is clearly the better choice. The Raptor is cool, but why bother if it’s just going to be a pavement queen?
King Ranch, no contest. I’ve got a 2018 model and have towed over 10,000 pounds with it. It’s perfect for my small farm—hay, animals, tractors, you name it. Plus, the leather and cabin space are top-notch. Can’t wait to upgrade to a new one.
