I had it happen on my 07 once. The bottom bolt came out and grooved the rim. Thankfully the top bolt held though.

6.2L... If I ever got a raptor that's the engine I'd want. Your wife sounds incredible!

Yes my wife is sure amazing and one of a kind, definitely a special lady to me. as far as Christmas, no payments until next year, so Christmas will not be affected by this purchase. actually saved money by trading in my old truck, and not fixing it. here are some pictures of the inside of the raptor

Does your wife have a sister who's single and shares the same "Let's get you a truck" mantra?

If so, I'm available

Maybe two sisters? Haha

Only thing making me cringe is the car seat straight on the leather... Personally I'd have a towel or blanket under each point it touches the seat.

I have a piece of thin black carpet under my boys carseat. Those things make divets in the leather like crazy, even with a layer of protection.

Careful; if the wife finds out you said that publicly, she may forget to make a truck payment or two, and it will get repo'd on you!
