Ford Raptor - Feedback?

[sokoloka]

Thinking about replacing my Yukon with a new truck when I move back to SD in a few months - test drove a 2012 Raptor a few days ago and fell in love with it. Anyone own one / have any extended experience with it? Any other similar recommendations?

My Yukon is my daily, so whatever I replace it with needs to perform the same duties. Also needs to have comfortable seating for 5 adults (4 doors likely mandatory), be suitable for offroad excursions (where my current Yukon falls short, somewhat piggy and 22's not quite suitable), be a solid tow vehicle, and be a good roadtrip vehicle (my sales territory when I return will likely cover southern California, Arizona, and Nevada).

I love my Yukon to death but I wouldn't mind something new. Been a fantastic truck but I've been hesitant to dump surfboards, mountainbikes, etc into the back and am leaning towards a pickup again. Would like to stick GMC but don't necessarily want to build anything up to similar specs right off the bat either. Raptor's no questions asked 36k mile warranty is attractive as well... I've recently developed an interest in trophy truck racing and plan to support my buddy as a chase vehicle in Baja when I move back too. As is I spend a fair amount of time out in the desert exploring / shooting when I'm in town.

Sorry for the rambling post (juggling my three nephews while trying to compose this). All thoughts appreciated!

Thanks.
