    And I love the Pro. Raptor was hard loaded. $73,000 sticker. I don’t miss it.

    So happy to get rid of all the electrical gadgets and doodads and get back to enjoying a real truck.

    Party on.

    Welcome to the site.

    Personally, I’m most certain you need to love what's driven every day on multiple levels.

    Congrats on the new Pro, and you know the rules....picture or it didn’t happen.

    As for pics it's a white one.

    What I didn't like ..... As bad ass as they are they are still Fords.

    First thing I did was put AT KO2s on the Pro.

    Regardless of how bad ass or “just a Ford” the Raptor is, it’s still a grip of money. Spending that much on a go fast truck might get old after a while.

    @DennisEllis, just post a pic of your Pro with a hand jester of the shocker.

    @DennisEllis can you breakdown why you didn't like the Raptor?
    Was it the tuner/ricer exhaust note?
    Was it the emblem on the grille?

    I got to take a new Gen Raptor out for an afternoon this summer. It's was impressive both in technology and performance. Such a ride over rough stuff and curbs. ;)

    Worth a boatload more money than my 'old' 2016 TRD Pro, but I'd never, ever trade for it. Cool to drive for a day, but as it ages, doubt it'll be what we call 'an easy keeper' in the horse world. Couldn't get the specifics out of my Ford salesman buddy, but it already had a replacement motor.
