My daughter has her heart set on a 2026 Raptor for her 21st birthday, and I’m trying to learn as much as I can before we seriously start shopping.
I’m a Chevy chick, so Fords—especially Raptors—are completely new territory for me. She already has all kinds of ideas for customizing it and eventually wants to have it repainted, but I’m more concerned with the practical mom stuff first.
For those of you who own a 2026 Raptor, how do you like it so far? I’m especially curious about safety, handling, visibility, how easy it is to drive around town, and whether it feels manageable as a daily driver.
Anything you love about it, hate about it, or wish you knew before buying one would be really helpful.
