I am not going to incessantly argue with the two of you. I already stated we will simply have to agree to disagree.

It’s not so much an agreed to disagree situation as it is you being in denial of an obvious fact. Once you’re north of $45k+ on a non-vocational vehicle, chances are you’re shopping for a luxury vehicle.

Yet another keyboard cowboy on this forum who is always right and always has to get the last word in, like a little kid. You now have the distinction of being only the second person I have ever deemed annoying enough to put on my ignore list, both on this forum. 👎

You are right, I am wrong. Do you feel better? I hope so, but I will never know what you are saying.

There are tons of articles on this topic. Here is one of many:
http://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/149...s-in-the-world

Read the entire article and tell me who is driving these "not" luxury vehicles. I got a dozen more articles for you too...

You don't seem to get it. The articles are not going to change my mind and opinion. Give it up and let everyone get on with their life. An opinion is just that, and everyone is entitled to theirs. For the third time: WE WILL SIMPLY HAVE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE. Got it? I am done with this subject.

I think the point is, you are just flat wrong. The luxury truck segment of the market is huge. People are swapping their Mercedes Benz and BMWs for much more useful well-equipped pickups because they are not giving up the luxury features they liked in their premium European vehicles.

Here is another article: http://www.businessinsider.com/luxur...atures-2017-10

He says, while getting the last word in before running away. I’m devastated.

You could always add a Roush tune to the Raptor and add some HP. I would vote Raptor, I am very happy with my EB engine. My previous car was supercharged (Audi SQ5) and while I loved the instant power (no turbo lag), the 3.5 EB does not disappoint one bit.

A luxury vehicle doesn't have to be a car. It can also be a truck if it's designed properly which my 2016 F150 Limited fits the bill.

Now, I have a limited with the 3.5 EB which with a tune will make 99% of the population more than happy. The problem is that your thirst for more power never ends, and the EB can't go much higher without ridiculous mods. I'm looking at a 2018 Platinum 5.0 with a whipple as an option, but I'm not finding many drag times to verify the extra performance. Has anyone here considered the twin turbo kit for $3995? It supposedly has more power, but I tow, and that has to be my top priority.
