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.

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.

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

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
[quote=""aaronatstate""]OK, we'll just put a pin in the Stinger till next week, when you don't feel like a tow vehicle again.[/quote]
Been pretty consistently looking at tow vehicles for the last month or so.

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
