For a trail rig, not fire roads or sand, but tight and technical trail with lots of rock, mud, and hill climbs, I could build a jeep that will do twice what the raptor will for half the price.

The rubicon is 2.5 hours away from me. I have never seen a f150 in there. I'm sure it's been done, but it was no off the shelf kit on 35"s.

Oh, and looks and fun are subjective. I think jeeps are much more fun than my 2012 fx4 supercrew. If I pull my jeep out and drive it on a nice day, there is nothing like driving around with a safari top and no doors. The jeep community is extremely friendly. I can hardly drive mine anywhere without a fellow jeeper starting a conversation.

Either one you'll have fun with but what most people consider offroading and would use it for the f150 would excel which is why i recommended it.

The jeep community is so friendly because there's no competition to a wrangler, so they have nothing else to criticize except each other's Jeeps, lol.
