He was always a fan of Ford trucks having owned quite a few, and this was his pre-retirement present to himself.

Back in the day, my old Chevy truck ended up not being able to take rough roads, literally falling apart. The cab to floor seams opened up and needed re-welding.

I had a Raptor, 2019. Great toy, but terrible pickup truck. I was hoping to be able to have a "sports car" like pickup truck after slugging around in my prior 2014 Silverado 1500. Problem was it was not able to do things my old pickups could do. Tiny bed. Pillow soft rear suspension. If you put a bag on concrete in the bed the rear bumper would drag on the ground. Forget towing, it struggled with my aluminum open Trailex I had at the time.

Fun for off road and jumping though.
