WHAT WOULD YOU DO RAPTOR OR PLATNIUM

Ha... going against the grain here... but Platinum all the way!
Already have my locked up 86 Flareside for beating up the bush with (and the 75 CJ5)... but now with the family and the travelling/towing... needed something to replace my daily driver (the Yukon SLE was awesome, but it sucked at hauling drywall and don't get me started about having to pull a trailer to haul a quad/bike).
So... hauling the Horses/Camper Trailer, hauling the lumber/plywood and the tools and most importantly keeping the 2/8 year olds happy on the longer trips... well... guess what won me over?
Raptor... would be a nice toy but have a couple of those already that are a lot cheaper to fix when things get bent (gotta luv the Canadian Shield)... Could've saved some cash on the Harley edition too... but sure couldn't pass up the 10km Platinum SC demo on the lot
To me... needed a truck that would fit my needs... not someone elses

everyone has their own idea, but it really depends on how its going to be used/driven, and appreciated. If you really are going to play offroad, the raptor is the best choice, otherwise youre paying for a bunch of cool looks and hardware that you'll regret having on the road.
I love my 03 HD/SC, fast, low, and looks great. just what I wanted. I think the raptor looks great, but not much serious desert running hear in central PA.
just my opinion to the salad bowl

....I heard the Raptor is 7" or 8 " wider than all other F150-350 platforms, So..... If you live and drive in mostly open areas GET the Raptor. There is No other truck like it ( . ) You will never own another like it ( . ) If You live in the Burbs outside of Metro, and use the truck for trips to the mall, moving your buddies furniture from one apartment to the other, and from time to time your buddies or wife use the truck to " run errands " Get a Nissan. Or get us to the statement " I don't know how I scraped the mirrors off you new truck Dude" Or " It looked like the Walmart parking spot was big enough Hun" By the way there is nothing wrong with the Platinum. Either way I'm envious. Good Luck.

Besides, I could easily build a truck almost as capable for at least $10k less
Only reason I'd buy one though is to get that 6.2 motor. But then I'd get a Harley F-150 instead.
