064 Pickup Raptor

Walking into the parking lot, the sight is full of pickup trucks, the spectacular scene is really a beautiful sight, only the farthest end of the field can be seen a few four-door sedans parked, but the contrasting specifications make the sedan look like ......

Lu Li finally understood the mood of the Texans.

"Cowboy, is there anything you need?" a strong man with tattoos wrapped around his arm pushed open the glass door and strode over, "If you have any needs, speak as soon as possible, and I can answer them for you." ”

Lu Li looked at the strong man in front of him, with a thick black mustache, a navy blue turban, dusty heavy metal leather buckle leather boots, and a tattoo full of personality, he was completely a biker, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the car salesman. Lu Li couldn't help but joke, "Where's your Harley?"

Dahan was stunned and pointed in the direction behind him, "On the street in the back." Then he laughed, "Man, it seems to be a connoisseur, what model do you ride?"

"I drive a mustang. Lu Li said calmly, and then caught the surprise in the eyes of the big man, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I know, this is also the reason why I am here today." That helpless look made the big man laugh heartily, "But are you sure? Harley riders sell cars here?"

Dahan laughed, "Believe me, I know every car here, and any information is fine." ”

"I thought I didn't have an option. Lu Li's words Dahan didn't understand, cast a puzzled look, and then saw Lu Li glance around, Dahan immediately reacted: Lu Li is joking, all of them are pickup trucks, the types are too single, and there are too few choices.

After just a few words of conversation, Dahan laughed out loud for the third time, "Philip, you can call me Phil." ”

"XIV. Lu Li also introduced himself, and then cut directly to the topic, "I need a pickup truck, obviously, what do you recommend?"

"Are you going to buy a car for work, or a car for daily life?" Philip's first question made Lu Li stunned, seeing this expression, Philip understood, and explained, "The most frequent use of pickup trucks is to transport goods, followed by to transport RVs." For the former, the length of the rear bucket is crucial, we have several different lengths of the rear bucket, generally we will recommend Ford's F450, a good helper for work, hard-working, for the latter, load capacity, rear axle length, etc. need to be considered, Ford's F250 will be a more choice. ”

Lu Li suddenly realized that although he has lived in the United States for nearly four years, his understanding of this area is indeed blank, and the true meaning of road trips is RVs, which is one of the important reasons why pickup trucks are so popular for Americans.

"However, if it's just a car for everyday use, loaded with some daily necessities, then our recommendation will be more user-friendly, such as double row seats, which are guaranteed to accommodate your wife and children. After Philip finished speaking, he winked at Lu Li, "I think you should be single, then the girls who came back from the party." ”

Lu Li smiled dumbly.

The ranch already has a work car, Cole's is specifically designed to work, and Brandon's pickup truck is also a typical work car. Lu Li buys pickup trucks, mainly to transport some simple daily necessities, "cars for daily life." "As for going on a road trip in an RV, I don't think I have that plan anytime soon – because he doesn't even have an RV.

Philip nodded in understanding, "You drive a Mustang?" he asked again with reaffirmation, "then you're going to love Ford's latest Raptor for sure." He strode to the side, and took Lu Li to an all-black pickup truck, the kind of sharp momentum came to his face, the simple lines outlined the atmosphere and strong feeling, the distinctive straight line design can be seen everywhere, and the whole gives people a tough and upright temperament.

Lu Li immediately fell in love with this Raptor car.

The Mustang is a typical muscle car, and the tough lines are much loved, and Lu Li chose the Mustang, which can be seen from his preferences, so Philip recommended the Raptor as a muscle car.

"This is Ford's F150 series, and the overall frame is stamped from high-strength steel, which is durable, strong and safe. Philip approached with Lu Li, and Lu Li couldn't help but pause - this car was actually half a head taller than him, which was really not normal, most of the cars were shorter than the average height of ordinary people, and that domineering and strong posture brought an indescribable shock at the moment.

Fierce and huge, this was Lu Li's first reaction when he saw the pickup truck in front of him, "He ...... Isn't it too big?" Lu Li felt that if he drove this Raptor on the street, it was estimated that the lanes would be clogged, and daily life might not be very convenient.

"Haha, if you live in Los Angeles or New York, that's too big. But in Texas, don't worry, it won't. Philip patted the hood, "With a six-meter body, a wheelbase of 3.5 meters, a width of 2.2 meters, and a height of nearly two meters, the Raptor is one of the largest pickups at the moment." Toyota's smooth road is like a baby in front of him. How about sitting in the driver's seat and seeing?"

Lu Li did not twist and pinch, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat, the interior design is far from the traditional impression of the pickup, not only modern, but also luxurious, driving computer, large screen, custom tape recorder, etc., the update speed of science and technology is very advanced, much more advanced than Lu Li's Mustang that has been picked up by many hands, "This is not like a pickup, it looks like an SUV." Lu Li sighed.

"Yes, in fact, the overall style of the Raptor is closer to the SUV, and it is a luxury version, taking into account the comfort and fashion of an SUV, as well as the convenience and ruggedness of a pickup truck. "The most important thing is that it combines the design of a rally car, which is very high-performance, and it is the favorite pickup truck style of the Americans at the moment." ”

From here, it can be seen that the Raptor is not a so-called work car, but pays more attention to the user's experience. The difference in these details is still very clear.

Lu Li adjusted the position of the driver's seat, the steering wheel was a little larger than expected, and it was a little heavy, it can be imagined that this car will be a real beast after it hits the road.

"How about going out for a lap?" Philip patted the steering wheel, "The six-.2-liter V8 engine can put out more than four hundred horsepower and nearly six hundred torque. Only when you run on the road can you really feel the charm of this raptor. ”

Lu Li laughed, "I thought cross-country was the best track." "With such a lot of horsepower, the Ford Raptor is really looking forward to its performance on dirt roads and off-road roads.

Philip showed a look of agreement, "His excellent cross-country ability is also one of his strengths. Do you live in the town?" The roads in the town are all asphalt, so naturally there is no off-road feeling.

"Outside, next to Marshall Creek Valley Ranch. Lu Li said in one direction, the name of Cloud Peak Ranch has not spread yet, and people naturally don't understand, but after Charlie at Sunset Bar publicizes it, the spread speed will be accelerated, "The previous beech Ranch is now renamed Cloud Top Ranch." ”

"Oh, I know there. Philip nodded, and said expertly, "The road there is fairly open, and it will be more troublesome to continue on the west side." If you often visit the town of Lasso, then you can feel the true value of this Raptor in it. Although he didn't have an in-depth conversation, Philip still successfully positioned Lu Li, and his words were really in place, "How is it, are you ready to hit the road now?"

The answer to Philip was the roar of the engine "boom, boom", the low and full sound made people clearly feel the tension of the power, and then Lu Li drove out with the steering wheel. The steering wheel is a little heavier than expected, but it has a lot of texture.

Thirty minutes later, Lu Li finished all the formalities, completed the purchase, and owned his first pickup truck, $50,000.

Lu left the new car and hit the road, suddenly changing from a Mustang to a Raptor, which was really a little unaccustomed, not only because of the weight of the steering wheel, but also because the car seemed very heavy, occupying a third of the space in the lane than the Mustang, and the whole feeling on the road changed. But again, after the field of vision was broadened, the whole momentum soared, and the feeling of rampage was really refreshing.

There are not too many cars in New Bronfels Town, which gives Lu Li room to practice, but after getting acquainted with it, Lu Li can't help but feel a little bored, and the empty streets can't feel the strength of the birds of prey. So, Lu Li simply left the town and headed all the way in the direction of Yundian Ranch.

But after a while, the boundary of the ranch could be seen from afar, and Lu Li was not completely satisfied. Passing by the door of the house, Lu Li still did not step on the brakes, continued to move forward, and soon, the surrounding scenery began to become unfamiliar, the bumpy road finally made Lu Li feel the excellent off-road ability of the vehicle, and the driving feeling was really good.

Lu Li can be regarded as satisfied.

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Lu Li originally planned to turn around and go back, but he didn't want to, but he unexpectedly saw someone shooting a flying saucer in his sight, and the red flying saucer shattered into a piece of powder in the air and sprinkled down. Lu Li couldn't help but think of "Crossbow Brother" Justin, he has a shooting range, what's the name?

Slowing down the car, Lu Li searched around carefully, and found the name of this shooting range in a short time, "Sky Shield", and then the memory was awakened, this is Justin's shooting range!

I said before that I would have time to come here to visit Justin, and Lu Li himself also planned to ask about gun ownership, as well as tourists coming to shoot and play with guns. It is better to pick up the sun than to hit the sun, Lu Li did not hesitate, and directly drove the car to find a position in the parking lot of the "Sky Shield".

After getting out of the car, under the scorching sun, Lu Li entered the "Sky Shield" shooting range, and when he entered the storefront, Lu Li's eyes widened, this is simply a gun shop!
