[QUOTE="Turning Blue, post: 945, member: 35"] Most of my winter driving is work related so the company car, a 2020 Jeep Cherokee, is why I can park the Raptor all winter. If I do need to drive for personal reasons, I drive the wife's Tucson Limited AWD. I know alot of guys on the forums, and elsewhere, criticize parking the Raptor all winter, but I don't miss the mess my 2014 Raptor brought into the garage during the winter! Have I mentioned I HATE road salt? That's not to mention how the door handles and running boards would get caked with salty slush...lol. The Cherokee stays in the driveway, and the handles are generally clean...lol. I know, I sound like a pansie! When I bought my 14 Raptor I traded a 2001 F150 4x4 SCrew, purchased November, 2000, that only had 44,000 miles on it. I averaged about 3,500 miles a year on that one. Yes, company cars are awesome...lol. So like I said, maybe I'm being a sore loser by losing some interest in a BRaptor once I didn't get a "Golden Ticket" but I had already chosen the new Mustang over ordering a "regular" Bronco, so I'm slowly accepting it...lol. Hopefully when the weather breaks, driving the Raptor and Mustang will help me forget...lol. Plus, the wife and I are considering a warmer (no road salt) climate in about 2-3 years. Maybe then I'll enjoy my Raptor year 'round. [/QUOTE]
