2018 Raptor?

Hi Everyone1

I have a 2012 F350 Crew Lariat with the 6.2 gas motor. I put Carly leveling springs on the front and are running 37" tires. The truck is ABSOLUTELY beautiful! I rarely use it as a truck, it has 50k miles on it now. I am toying with the idea of trading it for a new 2018 Raptor. The F350 rides like a chuck wagon when it is empty as many of you know. Any thoughts on this insanity? Should I wait until 2019 to see if Ford is really going to put the new 7 liter gas motor in the Raptors?

Bigfoot from Elkridge can you please start your signature line and put your first name in it? Sure is easier to call you by a name than Bigfoot.

You do know the Raptor does not have a whole lot of payload or towing capacity.
