How do you guys think it would do with, say, a 15000 pound load, plus the pickup? Don't judge, lol, I'm not going to be pulling it through a city.

Edit: a 5.5 bed is not as tax deductible, so another strike against Raptor.

Edit edit: wow, I would've never considered an ecoboost, but it makes more power and torque...I'm confused by these feelings I'm having.

The ecoboost can definitely pull and the motor holds together very well even after 100,000 miles. Take 20 minutes and watch this.....

Lol, I'm thinking mild at first. Tint, level, tires, gooseneck hitch cat back, etc. I did notice they make various stages of upgrades for power...

Going to try and do a test drive today and see about pricing.

So these pickups don't come with a warranty right? That's more of a suggestion, lol. I keep reminding myself it is the farm vehicle, so it has to have warranty.
Looking in to picking up some prepainted fender flares but I have to decide on a color first.

Oh yeah, and find out on money too. Guess I can worry about that later.

Bronze Fire, Ruby Red and Platinum White are great colors. They don't seem to have a color that matches your dirt roads.

White is always my number one choice. However, the only dealership here (within 150 miles) has a 2015 (better incentives) in Blue Flame Metallic too. I really like that color, but you're right, keeping it clean is difficult. I'm hoping to go back this afternoon and look again.
