It doesn't have those grocery hooks on the bottom of the rear seat? You know when you fold up the back seat.

I'd drop my FX4 for a Raptor in .962 seconds if someone offered it, but I wasn't willing to spend the hell-of-a-lot-extra cash on the Raptor to get its extras. I do, however, slobber over every one I see on the road...they look so cool.
Pretty much in the same boat lol, couldn't afford the extra 25k that they wanted over my FX4. For a daily driver I know I made the right choice though, I can barely find parking wide enough for my FX4 the raptor would be down right annoying.

Those hooks get pretty useless if you have kids along for the ride.

That's not always an option. I guess I could move to a different house so there's more room in the garage as well. Not into planning my life around a vehicle though

Plan everything around everything. Why pigeonhole yourself with some sort of ultimatum like that?

The Raptor rides great. Only bad is drinking gas and paying to have the shocks rebuilt.

About not letting a vehicle affect other things. They'll affect life whether you like it or not, might as well plan it out.

I'd rather plan it out before making the purchase than after, but hey, everyone is different.
