I daily one of my work vehicles mostly. But its always musical vehicles.
I do off road testing and suspension tuning for work so I have to put miles on them and drive them as much as possible otherwise I would daily the 350 more. I try and drive the 350 2 days a week. I'm in SoCal so I hardly ever cant drive it because of weather
mostly I drive a Raptor as my company car.
but I've been driving the Ranger and Jeep Gladiator a lot recently
the 350 is my only non company car right now. Had a cool 80 series land cruiser but it got wrecked recently (not by me)

and yes. everything is black.

How does the Ranger compare to a full size truck like the Raptor? Does it feel small or is it adequate? Going from a Wrangler 4 Door with a 4 inch lift and 35" tires, I feel like I'd need a full size truck, like an F-150 or similar, to be somewhat similar in driving experience.

I gotta get a another 911 4S to compliment my 350.

Interior room is going to be comparable to your Jeep as far as leg room and shoulder to shoulder room to your passenger.
It is going to be far more nimble and sporty compared to the Jeep.
if you feel more comfortable with more mass around you and may need to tow occasionally then F-150. If your not towing then the ranger is gonna do great for your general pick up truck stuff.
Jeeps are amazing when in low range. If you're not using it in low range often then you will likely be better off all around with the ranger. but there is that "Jeep thing" and some people love them even if its just on road (not me).
(bias alert) the Ranger with our suspension system boogies off road and is like a little Raptor.
Ultimately the big Raptor is the shit and in my opinion the single best all around vehicle there is(car, truck, bike, boat, plane, ect.). period.
If I couldn't have both I would give up the GT350 in a second for a Raptor (but not just an F-150).

I got the GT350 to give my former daily a little rest..

Main daily is my 19 350r, heavy rain and I'll drive the 19 ecoboost mustang. For bad winter weather either 17 Subaru Forester. When going out in extremely questionable 96 bronco, 33s, 351. It's a tank.

2017 F80 M3 DCT - Works great with winter tires!

Little update on the daily driver situation, I sold off the Wrangler and got into an F-150 lease. Love the truck, but I also drive a 10 year old Grand Cherokee to work a few days a week, which defeats the purpose of having the truck. Leaning towards getting out of the lease and into a CPO M4 for about the same price as my monthly lease.

I always wanted an E92 M3, but really like the M4, especially since they are going for about the same price as the E92's... the M4 is a better buy overall. Pretty excited to start looking around for one!

Anyways, how do you like daily driving the M3, and how does it compare to the Shelby R? Any insight on 6MT vs. DCT?

... a BMW, of course. Actually I think my little bimmer is faster off the line than any GT350, R or not... Just spent 3 weeks on it replacing everything turbo related... It just rips.

I'm sorry about that...

The 2008's were bad with the turbo problems... hoping they really fixed all the problems from the N54 to the S55, sure seemed like they did.

Yep, they tend to smoke heavily after about 100k miles... But I have new turbo's and I can say that I trust this engine to go another 100k on this block. I don't think I could trust any american car and buy it at 100k miles.
This is my 3'rd german car I bought at 100k miles... An Audi A4 before and another 335xi. Both ran perfect with a bit a TLC... These are not cars for the average Joe, relying to dealership to fix/repair... The bill can become heavy really quick.

I was quoted 10,000 dollars to replace both turbos, all lines and oil pan seal on mine (it's heavy work as all front suspension needs to come off as is the whole front subframe...). 3 weeks later, no skin on my knuckles, but she's happy again and pulling like a train...

Too bad the previous owner didn't have them replaced under warranty, they had a recall for the N54 turbo's for 100K/10years. I had mine done when I had mine back in 2014 due to wastegate rattle.
