Default Raptor

I saw a new Raptor on the interstate yesterday and was blown away with the stance. I must admit i'm not usually a fan of the off-road rally look but this vehicle passed the test. What a good looking truck!

Saw one out in the desert the other day. Things are nice, but for that much money you could build something way better and more personal.

Like what? Really, I want to know. What is a comparable off/on road truck priced in the $45,000 range?

My main fear with the Raptor, especially now Chevy making their version, is your gonna get people with no off-road experience and too much money buying these things and taking them straight to the pits or trails or whatever and doing some serious damage/harm to themselves or others

That's already happened with the Hummer. We all know that watching other people smash expensive rigs due to stupidity is a good time.

So long as the damage is to themselves, that show will be enjoyable. That damage comes at me it'd be far from enjoyable.
