Is the Platinum not really for Off-Road?

The Raptor would not make sense for my work given the long drives and the poor fuel economy with the 6.2L engine. It would run me thousands more every year and that didn't make sense. I went with the 5.0L because of the number of complaints with the EB here, and because I didn't like it when I test drove it.

Strip off all the fancy bits and the name- it's still an F150. Suspension, frame, everything is F150. If your not worried about marking her up accidentally, it will do just fine- as mentioned. Mines no platinum, but I beat the crap out of it in the bush. You just have to be more particular of your lines you follow, realize its no rock crawler, and the fact that she's a big lady and needs a bit more room than a lot of the smaller 4x4's. upgrade your rubber, maybe your shocks if its something youll do regularly, and know the trucks weaknesses, keep it safe and have fun! It's hard to swallow the payment on a truck like that without being able to enjoy it.
