Are you a Ford guy?
The Raptor thread got me thinking about this. I was never much of a brand loyalist for cars (although we owned nothing but Honda motorcycles for a long time). In 1999 I bought our first Ford, a Super Duty Crew Cab with a V10 and 5 speed manual (had to special order it). I still have that truck today and use it as a daily driver. I figure it’s good until I can’t climb up into it any more. In 2015 we decided to replace our Acura TSX with something with a bigger back seat. We settled on an Escape Titanium with an EcoBoost. I can’t believe how nice it is, and we paid almost exactly the same price as what the TSX had cost us 8 years before. Then two years later I traded in my 05 Corvette for the GT350, suddenly becoming an all Ford family (at least as far as daily drivers go).
So I never had one of those brand name loyalties - each of these vehicles was the right one based on the merits. But sudenly I’m an all-Ford guy. And pretty happy about it.
And if I had the money to burn I could definitely see me buying a Raptor.
