Or this....


If he wants a truck for hauling things this isn't the truck for him. It has a lower payload. While that being the only downside there are many upsides. the longer travel suspension rides very smooth. The 6.2 is a powerhouse and the creature comforts are endless. It all really boils down to what he wants a truck for. Gas mileage leves something to be desired also.

And if I remember correctly, it went home on a trailer. All other Raptors went home normally, but jumped at 40mph as suggested. This went in at 60mph.

Sad part is the fact it still has the window sticker. So some poor guy bought that truck.

That may do the trick. Haha i dont think hes gunna be jumping it though. The only thing he would be hauling is stuff in the bed out to the lease, and the occasional small trailer. As of now he has a cloned harley davidson...rlly the only thing that looks similar is the color and bar grill, but it is in BBAAADDDD shape. The fuel pumps messed up, the glove box is messed up...so thats y im posting this...to make up his mind.

Why on earth would an elderly man buy a 40,000 off road truck to do those tasks ?
I suspect You want a Raptor more then he does, he just wants a new truck.
Tell us the truth now !

Ehh i wouldnt mind having one...wait yes i want one, but what i really want is his old truck.

I already have 3 options to drive as of now, me being only 15...my dad would never let me drive that thing...Im looking foward to our 1965 mustang restoration project to become my car though.

Ps. He wants a 4wd truck cause we're always slipping this way and that at his lease in his 2wd. so my point is i want him to get one so i can have fun in it at the lease :P
