Honestly, the rs7 is too nice for the snow for me. I drive my gtr all winter with snow tires. I have my kids 50% of the time and don't care about them dirtying up the truck. I cringe every time they get in the gtr with salty, snowy boots and climb over the center counsel to get in the back. I'm sure the Audi would do fine in snow--my buddy dailies his modded s6 with winter wheels in the snow. I like the weight and wheelbase of the raptor. I literally care less if I slide into or over curbs in that truck. That happens once in the gtr or Audi and it's a flat tire. I pulled my plow guy out of my yard last year when he slid off my driveway.

When I pick up my Raptor it's going to have the hang time of a hot air balloon. lol. Seriously though, i've already got some road trips and such planned with my off roading friends to go play. So mine will in fact be used for what it was intended for.
I was very much on the fence between a Raptor and the GT500 when I got my '14. I spec'd out a Blue Flame Scab nicely loaded on the Ford site a number of times before deciding to go with the Shelby.
At the time the fuel mileage of the Raptor was a real issue for me. I didn't really appreciate how special the 6.2 was at the time, despite its mileage drawbacks. I really did want the 3.5EB. With the GenII turned up to over 450 it's gotten much more appealing, especially living in Colorado where the Shelby has seen only 1k miles in the last year.

There is a company that takes new diesels or f250's and converts them to new excursions. I'd bet it could be done with a Raptor but after all the extensive mods, etc... The price would probably be so North it wouldnt be worth it. But who knows maybe Ford will put out a SVT SUV someday.
The soft off road suspension hurt tow rating first time around. It will be limiting factor this time too.
Was on the fence between a lifted F-250 and raptor.
Went with the raptor and have been impressed.
Insanely smooth ride, uniqueness, and off-road manners
You have to drive one to truly appreciate it!
It's amazing how it eats up bumps

Didn't you know? 4wd has been proven to increase braking distances and corning grip by 200%. :read: It also increases visibility in whiteout conditions and generates a force field to protect the vehicle from trees, ditches and other cars. :bowdown:
Just stay in the right hand lane and you'll have nothing to worry about, Nancy.
They are not even comparable on any level.
Why not? Please give a better answer than that
Its not a Ford. Only answer you need
I doubt it...considering the Titan Warrior doesn't actually exist
go back in the sandbox so the grown-ups can talk.
For some reason I thought I read that it was releasing early next spring
um try coming to a conversation with a vehicle that actually exists
I saw one this weekend... The want is bad.
Is that the "Blue Jeans" color Raptor? If so, I am sold. Shut up and take my money, Ford. I will order one
