Today is my two year anniversary of owning my Raptor. I traded in a 4-door Badlands that I had for 6-months for it. It has been my daily driver and my work vehicle for the two years I have owned it. 36k miles in and I am still in awe that I have it. Aside from a few small glitches (windows not staying up, a new carplay issue, and a rattle in the cover of the rear wiper motor), it has been a true pleasure.

Admittedly, I have kept it away from harsh off-roading due to the fact that I wanted to keep it as blemish free as possible, i feel two years is long enough and will start being less picky on the trails.

Only thing I am dreading now is preparing to buy four new tires when the time comes.

IMHO, you don't get the full range of pleasure until you off road a Raptor hard. So, get out there and push your comfort envelope a bit and you will be hugely rewarded with much more awe.

I agree. I have done a few open air off-roading, but never really pushing it. I’ve always wanted to wait until 2 years in for some reason to get the best out of a nice vehicle. I guess it’s time the gloves come off haha

First scratch is the hardest.

I can honestly say, aside from normal driving chips on hood, I haven’t a scratch. Ready for the first, but it better be worth it hahah

Congrats! Coming up on 2 years (12K miles) as well and mine has been rock solid. Not my DD and it gets off-road monthly. I love my Braptor!
