6 People You Should Trust with Your Raptor

We can hear the comments now, “I don’t let anyone drive my truck BUT ME,” and for the most part, we agree. Other people don’t care about your ride the way you care about your ride. That said, there are some people who can be and should be trusted with your Raptor, six of them to be precise.

1. Your Grandma

Your grandma is a boss, and I bet she can wheel better than you when the road gets rough. Think of the YouTube success you would have with “Grandma Jumps Ford Raptor at Dunes.” Pismo will never be the same. Give grandma a shot and start working on your soon-to-be-viral youtube channel.

2. Jeremy Clarkson

Yes, Clarkson, formerly of Top Gear fame, and now the Grand Tour drove a Raptor, and loved it. He was smitten with its over the top ride, engine, and character. Granted, he’s no master of all terrains, but he seemed to make due just fine in the snow and mud, and you know he would keep you endlessly entertained.

3. Your Crazy Neighbor

Sure, he may drive a Jeep, drink girly beers and say things like “It’s a Jeep thing, you wouldn’t understand,” but he does know where all the awesome trails and fun off-road spots are. I guess we will give him a pass. We’re still not sure about letting him drive the Raptor, but he’s down to group caravan to the trail, so we’re cool with it.

4. Your Best Friend

A wiseman once said that there are three things a man should never lend his best friend: his pen, his wife, or his car. However, when you are in desperate need of a helping hand to replace your bent control arm, your shocks, or your bushings; your friend will always be there, which means he's earned the right to take your Raptor for a spin.

5. Your Wife

We totally understand, don't ever let your wife drive your Ford Raptor, but have you ever thought about how much cooler your wife will immediately be the second she sits behind the wheel of your Raptor? Taking the kids to school in a Ford Raptor will make her an immediate hit; hell, you might as well let her take it to work after, but be careful, moderation is key, you don't want her to be cooler than you.

6. Yourself

It’s a Raptor, it’s made to get dirty; play in the sand and give yourself the closest feeling to a Baja or trophy truck that a manufacturer can allow. Don’t fear a few paint chips here and there when it comes to your big Tonka-toy. Let that V8 scream and slide through a sand and dirt, because you can’t put a price on fun.
