Is the Ranger Raptor worth the extra spend over a standard Ranger?

The Ford Ranger Raptor is more expensive than the standard Ranger models. It has an improved off road capability and a more powerful engine, but some believe that the average driver won’t be using all of what it has to offer. The debate is whether the Raptor's upgrades are worth the extra cost to drive every day and occasionally off road. The improved suspension, more aggressive styling and prestige of the Raptor name are also factors to consider. But the reduced payload capacity also comes into play, as does the potential fuel economy trade offs. In the end, most of the people will come down to personal preferences and how you intend to use the product.
