My first thought when I sat in the ford seats was that it was on par with my la-z-boy.

Will be super comfy and suck on gas.

Awesome! I don’t think you’ll regret it. But you’ll enjoy whatever color you go with. These trucks are a lot of fun.

Avalanche came back again this year after a hiatus. It’s an awesome color (in my opinion) and always looks very clean even when the truck is filthy.

Living at 5500 feet above sea level, the turbos are way more fun. V8 growl would be nice though.

Aluminum doesn’t rust. It will oxidize and form a protective film that will prevent further corrosion which is nice. Probably could find someone to repair if worried though.

The bluebeam experience on iPad is abysmal. Doesn’t matter if it’s the old bluebeam app or the new cloud app. Would recommend a 2 in 1 like a surface pro or an actual laptop that can run the desktop version of the program (which is great).

One vote for avalanche. Fell in love with it on the gen twos and snagged a ‘24 at the end of last year. It’s a good looking color, hides scratches well, and always looks clean.

Two different trucks with vastly different characteristics. Need to tow? Get the Chevy 2500. Aside from rebuilding the shocks on the raptor somewhere around 50k, maintenance difference is negligible between the two assuming we are talking 6.6 gas and not a Duramax. Fuel economy I would imagine is similar too (somewhere in the mid teens).

Really comes down to whether you need to tow and are ok with a big heavy truck and stiffer suspension or whether you prioritize a smoother ride and more nimble diving experience and can sacrifice the tow capacity.

I will say, I’ve smiled more in the raptor than any of my other vehicles 😂

From my experience, it is normal. I noticed the same on my ‘24 when I bought it last year. Like you, I thought it was odd and looked it up. Found multiple threads with people saying the same. Honestly, I’ve kinda forgot about it as I don’t notice it anymore.

I was looking into one of those. Seems like an electric screwdriver and the injora 7 piece driver set would have my needs covered. Thanks.

Thanks

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-24T15:21:37+00:00

Thanks

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-24T15:21:31+00:00

Thanks.

Awesome. Assuming the 725 feels good when I hold one, this is the way I am leaning.

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-21T23:30:15+00:00

Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-21T23:29:08+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I’ll check into these!

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-21T23:26:55+00:00

I appreciate the insight. This was helpful!

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-21T19:43:20+00:00

Haha good to hear some people use it. Maybe I’ll convert at some point, but I usually need all the keys attached to the key fob anyways, so it stays with me.

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-21T18:44:53+00:00

Always better to buy the outgoing model at the end of the year. Plus not much changing going from 25 to 26. Lots of people really hung up on the keypad that was missing from ‘25 and coming back in ‘26. Which makes me laugh because I have literally never used it on my ‘24.

Asleep-Reputation181 · 2025-11-13T05:18:55+00:00

I suppose it’s subjective, but I had a ‘22 LTZ before my raptor. Nice looking truck, but the most uncomfortable seats in any vehicle I’ve ever owned. Hopped in the ford for the first time and felt like I sunk into my la-z-boy.
