Wife wants to trade the Cybertruck, help!

For the road presence height: Install the 1-2" lift rods from cybertruckco and put 37s. Get the beast, it's much better than the dual motor. There's also a 2" lift kit from unpluggedperf but it's $10k You can also drive around in high (+2" lift rods = 15.2" ground clearance) with off-road mode but no FSD.

If its a height thing @CYBERTRUCKco is working on an actual lift right now that will put the truck up multiple inches.

Kind of hard to believe someone has an issue with the inside space of the cybertruck. Thats one of the things that surprises the most people I show about it.

Yep optical illusion with the plastic fender flares. CT cab looks bigger but it isn’t.

Got any details? What kind of lift?

So a few years ago I had a 2023 F150 Raptor with 37" tires/performance pack. Great truck, comfortable, rode high, comfy seats. I eventually sold that for a 392 Wrangler which we liked, but didn't keep long because of the lack of comfort. So to rectify that, after waiting a few years for the CT bugs to be ironed out, we got a 2026 AWD Premium CT.

Of course we all know all of the benefits of the CT. And FSD is hard to live without, but my wife keeps pestering me about getting back into a new 2026 F150 Raptor. She says she misses the large interior, the comfortable seats, the tall ride-height/view, the road "presence/look". I do ALL of the driving/being a chauffer, but I don't mind seeing as I like driving and she's sooooo slow.

Now don't get me wrong the modern F150 Raptor is a sweet truck, but maybe she has rose colored glasses. Any thoughts on ways I can put to her to not keep bringing up the trade? I even dedicated the Frunk just to her!

Divorce? LOL

Must be high on that hot/crazy end of the chart.

I @ them. I don't recall where they posted it recently. It was here or on X or something.
It did lift it several inches.
They recommend professional install as it is kindof like a body lift. It moves the motors and axles down to keep proper angles on the axles.

Damn, you are supporting your local and state economy with all that sales tax paid. Either choice is very nice, but gas ain't cheap.

dang that's gonna be expensive, a divorce really breaks the bank.

New low mode with 4" Subframe lift is original high mode, can also be 3 or 5" with lift rods. Feels like a real truck now where you can see over other cars. In medium mode, its is same as very high offroad mode, and I was looking down in a Raptor today at a stop light. AT highest mode it has 20" clearance in the belly.

Drops both subframes w/ motors, axels, suspension to avoid stressing the axels and reducing suspension articulation.

Have to pay to play because its got lots of stainless steel Made in the USA parts; $8000 kit includes billet upper control arms, new skid plates, bumper and radiator relocation brackets, etc coming soon.

 

[CyberTrk]

Could you keep the CT and get a F-150 ?

 

[Caraholic]

I would let her drive it around some that will change her mind. With it being your car I would say you don’t want to sell it but if she wants to trade her car in on one she can.

 

[CyberWalrus]

This is cooler than Raptor.

 

[Sposborn]

Just say the word “no”? Lol.
