If money were no object at all...

I still wouldn't drive that thing.

heh kinda like the raptor it was modeled after Little function unless you work/play in the desert on a regular basis.. only positive side.. the F250R at least has a good payload and tow ability.. its a 250 at heart.. with some fender flairs and really really expensive shocks.

I don't know the quality or engineering behind their work, but with the front axle pushed out an 1.5" and the wider stance, the truck "should" be even more stable when towing.

If I wanted a trophy truck, I would have bought a trophy truck. A trophy truck look-a-like hauling a horse trailer would look ridiculous. Now, if I could jump the truck like a trophy truck, all bets are off!

I've got one sitting in the driveway. Just need 22k for the super raptor or 28k for the mega raptor conversions. That doesn't include bumpers though? Yes it is just a dream, but it's only one lottery ticket away. To bad I don't play the lottery.

I've always been a function over form type of person. Why make it look like a trophy truck if it can't perform like a trophy truck? All smoke and mirrors with very little substance. Now a real trophy truck? I would take that in a heartbeat.

I'm with you 100% on that one, most of my trucks are set up with utility in mind. My wife says I have too many of them, from a cost of maintenance perspective I agree with her. They all have their special intended purposes​. I'm definitely over the whole "Bro-truck" thing, but some of them actually are done tastefully. If I had money to burn, a full blown trophy truck (among many others) would definitely be in my automotive arsenal. It doesn't cost anything to dream!
