5 People You Should Trust with Your Raptor
If you're like most truck fanatics, you're probably a little picky about who you let drive your pride and joy. Here are five people you can toss the keys to without hesitation.
1. Your Dad
For most of us, our fathers were the guiding force behind our love for trucks in the first place. So who better to trust with your Raptor? Unless he's a rally driver or he still holds a grudge for that time you put his beloved old truck in the ditch, there's really no reason not to let dad experience the fun factory that is the Ford Raptor.
2. Your Grandmother
What's the worst that granny can do behind the wheel of a powerful, capable, performance off-roader? She's going to drive the thing so slowly and deliberately, everyone will be shaking a fist and throwing profanities her way. Plus, it's a given that she can see over the hood of a Raptor a whole let better than that crappy Buick she drives, and you will probably get a piece of her famous apple pie as a reward for your kindness.
3. Your Spouse
You might be a little hesitant to let your spouse get behind the wheel of your beloved truck, but refusing to let him/her try it out might result in more punishment than it's worth. If they are a truck enthusiast like you, this decision is a no-brainer. But if they have the driving skills of a preteen addicted to Snapchat, you might want to ride with and install a safety brake on the passenger side.
4. A Rich Friend
If you have a friend that just happens to be, well, wealthy, what's to lose? Any damage that occurs will be covered, and maybe they'll even throw in some new suspension parts as a bonus for their stupidity. Just make sure and check their current insurance coverage before you toss over the keys.
5. A Designated Driver
Did you "accidentally" have one too many beers at the tailgate? If so, handing over the keys to a sober buddy isn't just the right thing to do, it's the only thing to do. Don't risk turning your Raptor into a $60,000 lump of scrap metal, or worse, hurt somebody else out there. Plus, your friend isn't going to turn down your request to drive one of the greatest trucks ever made.
