@GT Premi Why didn't you consider a Raptor?
Finally Drove A Trackhawk And...

I actually did. I like the Raptor. My wife is a big fan of it. However, whatever vehicle we get is also going to be the wife's daily driver, and the Raptor is too big and realistically impractical for our needs/wants in that area. It wouldn't fit in the garage beside the Mustangs and other garage stuff. I don't want a V6, turbo or otherwise (although, I can't get that Cayenne GTS out of my head.) The interior isn't what I'd call luxurious. And I can't imagine it being all that quiet or comfortable with those tires on a long road trip.
If this is also a DD for the wife and you have the money for the Porsche I’d go that way and not look back.
Just get ze Cayenne, schnell und join ze klub uf Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, Konstruktion und Beratung für Motoren- und Fahrzeugbau.
How about a loaded up F150 5.0 A10 with a Whipple? Nice ride, nice interior, will run door to door with a Trackhawk...and will safely meet your towing needs.
The KO2's are actually quite quiet for daily driving.
They are C load rated for the 17s+ so they aren't the stiffer E loaded rated tires that would reduce comfort.
That being said, if size is a factor, then the tire part is a moot point.
It still wouldn't be a practical daily driver for the wife nor a fun road trip vehicle.
So let me get this right....
A raptor that is made for any weather, that your wife is a big fan of, and can tow a boat ISNT practical.
But the trackhawk high horsepower not made for all weather, horrible gas mileage SUV, that wasnt made to tow the boat is.
I see.
Makes sense
Not trying to convince you. But as previously stated the Raptor's tires are quiet and it makes a great DD. It's ride is way more comfy than my wife's '17 XSport.
If you'd actually READ the original post, you'd get it. We're not looking for JUST a tow vehicle. A Raptor would not be a practical daily driver for her. She's barely 5'2". Would you want to be climbing in and out of a monster truck everyday? If we were just looking for another toy, sure, the Raptor would be toward the top of the list.
I'm just giving you props for spelling and using quite quiet right
You have been quiet for quite some time now. You dive right into their conversation without regard as to who was there to begin with. I too wanted to say something, but it appears you beat me to the punch. Think about the effect of your actions and how this affects the discussion.
It’s almost considered rude, until one considers that you have been part of this site since its inception.
Only an OG of OGs can get away with that.
My 35" Toyo MTs howl like crazy
I should have went with Toyo mts, went with Nitto Ridge Graps and they are not that great in the rain.
I dont mind the howl.
I like the howl, myself. And the traction is fantastic.
It's a Raptor. Not a bro-dozer with a 6" lift...
Wonder how he would feel around my old bronco on 38s lol... my gf at the time LOVED driving that ****ing thing
My boss's wife is 5'1, and daily drives an Avalanche Gen 2 Raptor....? The trucks fit into garages as well...
Uhm….
Uhm….
How do you like them in the rain?
