i'm partial to ford for the towing tech, and the 10k tow rating of the raptor is more than enough. the rear seats fold up for the doggos. she just has it in her head that she doesn't want a truck. i think she just needs to drive one.

we drove a 2018 f250 platinum diesel and she was blown away with how nice it was and how well it drove. she is encouraging me to get one of those, but she needs a car soon and i'm thinking we could kill two birds with one stone.

The Raptors are not great tow vehicles, from what I hear. The suspension and ride height are far from ideal for any sort of regular towing.

I think the tow capacity is 8k on the Raptor, not 10k.
