Coming Back
After 3 years of driving a Raptor, I decided to return to a Lariat. The Raptor was fun, but need the towing more than the off-road ability.
Picking up a 3.5 Lariat FX4 Avalanche. Lucky enough to find a 502A without the damn glass roof. Should be in by end of month.

Yeah, the Raptor is okay IF you do any off-roading, but who in their right mind takes a $100K truck off road? No one...at least not REAL off-roading. My ex-boss was in the same place as you, his Raptor sucked trying to tow his boat or camper or even his utility trailer according to him, and he'd taken it to the sand dunes ONE time...so he too switched back to a F-150. Three years of owning the Raptor and he got essentially his purchase price back, not a bad deal!
