[quote=""Chris GTO TT""]It's not a Raptor, but it has the Raptor engine...

But a 26k used truck with 80k is OK Raptor won't lose as much value as the standard F150...

Also, there are a lot of Kia Stinger GTs around you in the mid 30s, just sayin.

I've been reading the opposite. The 6.2L is more reliable but a gas guzzler.

Yeah that's nearly $15k less for the same drivetrain. And the regular F150 is infinitely more useful than the Raptor. The Raptor can only tow 5000lbs.

Yeah Stinger is nice, but thinking I want a tow vehicle again.

What year Raptors are you looking at? I am seeing at least 6000+ lbs depending on year

More on the road... More complaints.

I'm not saying either one is a bad engine.

[Duck Vader]

And apparently what limits the raptor is suspension, not drivetrain. You can easily upgrade the suspension and get a good WD hitch and you are good to go.

Ohhhh. Didn’t know Kia stinger has gotten to that price. I need to add that to my list of vehicles to drive.

Word. I’m starting to feel like a broken record. I’ve DD’d both.

OK, we'll just put a pin in the Stinger till next week, when you don't feel like a tow vehicle again.

Get the Tahoe version of what I rented in 4x4. Tow, gas mileage, pretty quick!

Every time I see one I think the same thing. Hard to believe it is a Kia.

It's funny you and Steve are the only ones who don't like the 6.2L all the rest of my research says it's a good engine

Been pretty consistently looking at tow vehicles for the last month or so.

I'd rather get a 15-17 Expedition with the EcoBoost

Also, FYI, the Stinger GT can tow up to 1600lbs...

So it couldn't even tow the car trailer with nothing on it

Use your parents Expedition or old Ford pickup to tow, and buy a car. Or get a Raptor.

I love my wife, I thought I was all set on a SUV/Truck like this https://www.carmax.com/car/16716754 . She was supportive of it. Then yesterday she sends me a 2007 Legacy spec.B similar to my old one. I tell her that one isn't a good idea and this https://legacygt.com/forums/showthread. ... 75687.html would be a much better car for me to bring to CA. It is the exact same thing as her old Legacy just a manual transmission.

I love my wife, but this is killing me

My heart says get the Legacy Wagon, my brain says get the Lexus because it won't blow up. Reality is I want both, but that's just stoopid

[aaronatstate]

Or you could just buy my Focus ST.

[Duck Vader]

Get the Lexus
