Such a fun truck and easily one of the highlights of our Oregon trip. The Raptor was a blast to drive and definitely turned heads everywhere we went. Super comfortable, clean, well kept, and made all the scenic drives around Oregon that much better. Pickup was easy and communication with the host was great from start to finish. Couldn’t have picked a better truck for the trip — would absolutely rent it again!
Everything with the truck great! Truck was in perfect condition, ran smoothly and was clean. Snap back bed cover was an added bonus keeping camping gear dry even while driving in the rain. Communication and instructions were easy to follow. Pick-up/Drop off location was easy to find with plenty of street parking. Will rent from Chris again.
Pat was very communicative, the truck ran perfectly. Smooth rental situation. Would recommend to anyone.
