I have a black 2012 Raptor and I drive it pretty hard sometimes. I took it in the mountains in Arizona to do some hiking for a few days. When I was driving out I wanted a BigMac in the worst way. So I was pushing the truck and myself to get down to the hardball in a timely manner. The thing about the Raptor is that you can drive it hard and fast with confidence. I would say that you would have to spend some time behind the wheel to really appreciate how good these trucks are.
