To keep or not to keep

[smann]

Hello all.. Need some advice. My car is currently on sale and I am a little indecisive (very)

Should I sell my car and get the new 2017 Raptor or a Z06 or just keep my car all together.

LOL i have no clue what to do and its driving me nuts. I know the z06 is a beast and a all around great car but I need a pickup for work so I can just get the raptor.

OR I could keep the mustang and get a cheap f150 on the side..

Decisions decisions...... :headbonk:

If you need a pickup for work Raptor would be great. No point of sinking ton of money in other cars where you spend a lot of time driving another "not so cool" car imo (cheap f150). It is kinda funny tho my dream garage would be a red z06 with a blue Raptor too. Until I can afford that I will be daily driving whatever "fun" car I have.

I've got both.

If I could only keep one, it would be the Raptor. No doubt.

Cheap F150. Why destroy a new Raptor at work ?

Whipple the current Stang and get a base work truck

Cheap F150. Why destroy a new Raptor at work ?

Exactly. Get a cheap 150, used with the bed already scratched up, and beat the crap out of it. Keep the Mustang (or get the 'vette) for fun.

Keep Mustang and get a used F-150

Do you need a four wheel drive? How big of a bed does it need to have?

Cheap F150. Why destroy a new Raptor at work ?

Bingo!

You need a Raptor to go to work?
Do you like work at the end of a 2 mile long air strip with minimal speed limit of 120mph?
Honestly, for a DD, I am actually interested in the 2.7L EB F150.

Cheap F-150. The Raptor is a beast, but it's way overkill for all but working in the middle of the desert, and frankly, it can't tow or haul all that much. Max payload for the Crew Cab is 1200 pounds, whereas the standard F-150 can be optioned to haul up to 3300 pounds.

We're going to be buying a boat in the next year or so, and obviously, I won't be towing that with my Mustang. I'm going to be looking to buy like a 1994 F-150 with the straight-6. Simple, cheap, and basically indestructible. I don't need a $65k tow vehicle for my $45k boat.

I've driven the new Raptor. It is an animal. I love it. But it's a different type of fun car. Unless you're hauling stuff, plan on taking it off-road, it's not really too much than better than a vanilla F-150 on the street.

It's passing power is pretty ridiculous for a behemoth it's size.

If the raptor is used for work would it be used enough to justify it as a business expense or vehicle? Cause if that was the case i would buy the raptor lolol

Being you are in Canada, I say get the Raptor.

LOL the opinions are still split.. Checking out the C7 Z06 today. See how it drives and I'll go from there
