i like more of a lowered street truck vibe so the raptor doesn't really appeal to me. However i've seen the TFL episode with the Raptor vs the new Silverado and new Ram off road trucks. I can definitely see the technology and the features the raptor has and what makes it so much more superior than its competitors, however i would never use those features if i was to have a lifted truck it would look more like @KillinTime truck
A Raptor isn't for everyone. Personally, I don't like them. I guess I just don't like the style of them.

Slap the Bullit spec 480hp coyote in it and yes, it would be my preferred truck. If you can buy your dream truck bone stock off the lot, you need to dream more creatively!

Saying OEM is not as good as modified is a loaded supposition. Not disagreeing more can be done with an XLT, the end result is not OEM quality with warranty etc. Just saying.

The truck is 6 inch wider than F150, so it is hard to fit Raptor in the garage. I prefer not to park it outside every night, it is definitely not a good idea. And it is tough to park in many parking lots, such as underground parking lot, airport parking lot with gates, downtown parking lot etc. In short, parking must be a issue.
I love the extra middle seat of XLT front row so I can fit one more people on the road trip, not ideal but it is still nice to have. Raptor is 6 inch wider so it can be made to have pretty comfortable seat in the middle front.

The truck may be 6 inches wider, but the cab is still the same as a regular F-150. You're not going to gain anything in seating space. I've only used the middle front seat in my '04 SuperCab twice in 10 years, so I hardly think any Raptor driver will be driving around enough with 5 more passengers to really need a 6th seat.

So aftermarket parts are lesser quality than OEM? I said more capable, not higher quality. If that were the case, no Raptor guys would do any "upgrades" to their truck, because it would make them of a lesser quality. That is not what I said. My comment said "more capable for less money" (meaning more capable than an OEM off the lot Raptor).
