Yunding Ranch

Chapter 64 Pickup Raptor
Walking into the parking lot, pickup trucks are everywhere in sight. The spectacular scene is really a beautiful landscape. Only a few four-door sedans can be seen parked at the farthest end of the field, but the contrasting specifications But it makes the sedan look like... a little girl.

Lu Li finally understood how the Texans felt.

"Cowboy, do you need anything?" A strong man with tattoos on his arms pushed open the glass door and strode over, "If you have any needs, just ask as soon as possible, and I can answer them for you."

Lu Li looked at the burly man in front of him. He had a thick black mustache, a navy blue turban, dusty heavy metal leather buckle boots, and matching tattoos full of personality. He looked like a car salesman. It doesn't matter at all.Lu Li couldn't help joking, "Where's your Harley?"

The big man was stunned, and pointed to the direction behind, "It's the street behind." Then he laughed, "Dude, he seems to be an expert, what model do you ride?"

"I drive a Mustang." Lu Li said frankly, and then caught the surprise in the big man's eyes, he raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, "I know, that's why I'm here today." The helpless look made the big man He laughed heartily, "But, are you sure? Harley riders sell cars here?"

The big man laughed loudly, "Believe me, I know every car here, and any information is fine."

"I thought I had no choice." The big man didn't understand Lu Li's words, he cast a puzzled look, and then saw Lu Li glance around, the big man immediately realized: Lu Li was joking, here are all pickups Cars, the types are too single, and the choices are too few.

After a few short conversations, the big man laughed for the third time, "Philip, you can call me Phil."

"Fourteen." Lu Li also introduced himself, and then cut to the point, "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, "Pickups are usually the most expensive. The most frequently used ones are for transporting goods, and the second is for consigning RVs. For the former, the length of the rear bucket is very important. We have several types of rear buckets with different lengths. Generally, we recommend Ford’s F450 , a good helper in work, hardworking; for the latter, load capacity, rear axle length, etc. need to be considered, and Ford’s F250 will be a better choice.”

Lu Li suddenly realized that although he had lived in the United States for nearly four years, his understanding of this area was indeed blank. The essence of road trips is the RV, which is one of the important reasons why pickup trucks are so popular among Americans. .

"However, if it's just a car for daily use and loaded with some daily necessities, then our recommendation will pay more attention to the user experience, such as double-row seats, which can accommodate your wife and children." After Philip finished speaking, he turned to Lu Li. Blinking, "I think you're single, then the girls from the party."

Lu Li couldn't help but laugh.

The ranch already has a working vehicle, Cole's is dedicated to working, and Brandon's pickup truck is also a typical working vehicle.Lu Li bought a pickup truck mainly to carry some simple daily necessities, "a car for daily use." As for taking a road trip in a RV, he probably has no such plan in a short time - because he doesn't even have a RV No.

Philip nodded to express his understanding, "You drive a Mustang?" He asked again for confirmation, "Then you will definitely like Ford's latest Raptor." He strode towards the side and brought Lu Li into a car. The all-black pick-up truck has that kind of fierce momentum rushing towards the face, but the simple lines outline a grand and powerful feeling. The sharp 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.

Mustang is a typical muscle car. Its tough lines are very popular. Lu Li chose Mustang, which shows his preference. That's why Philip recommended Raptor, which is also a muscle car.

"This is Ford's F150 series. The overall frame is stamped from high-strength steel. It is durable, strong, and highly safe." Philip led Lu Li closer, and Lu Li paused involuntarily—this car was actually much bigger than him. He was half a head taller, which was really not normal. Most of the cars were shorter than the average height of ordinary people. That domineering and powerful posture immediately brought an indescribable shock.

Ferocious and huge, this was Lu Li's first reaction when he saw the pickup truck in front of him, "Is he... a little too big?" Lu Li felt that if he drove this Raptor on the street, the driveway would probably be blocked. If it is full, daily life may be inconvenient.

"Haha, if you live in Los Angeles or New York, it's really too big. But in Texas? Don't worry, it won't." Philip patted the hood, "Six meters of body, [-] meters of wheelbase, two With a width of [-] meters and a height of nearly two meters, the Raptor is one of the largest pickup trucks at present. The Toyota Tundra looks like a baby in front of him. How about it? Sit in the driver's seat and have a look?"

Lu Li didn't hesitate. He opened the door and sat in the driver's seat. The interior design is far from the pickup trucks in the traditional impression. It is not only modern, but also luxurious, with trip computer, large-size screen, custom-made tape recorder, etc., and technological updates. The speed is very advanced, much more advanced than Lu Li's Mustang, which was bought by many hands. "This is not like a pickup, but like an SUV." Lu Li sighed.

"Yes, in fact, the overall style of the Raptor is closer to an SUV, and it is a luxury version, taking into account the comfort and fashion of an SUV, as well as the convenience and roughness of a pickup truck." When Philip introduced it, he was indeed eloquent and rich in content, " Best of all, this combines rally car design with incredible performance, and it's America's favorite pick-up truck right now."

It can be seen from here that the Raptor is not a so-called work car, and pays more attention to the user experience.The difference in these details is still very obvious.

Lu Li adjusted the position of the driver's seat. The steering wheel was bigger than expected and a little heavy. It can be imagined that this car is a real beast when it hits the road.

"How about it? Do you want to go out for a run?" Philip patted the steering wheel, "The 8-liter V[-] engine can output more than [-] horsepower and nearly [-] torque. You can really feel it when you are running on the road. The allure of this Raptor."

Lu Li laughed, "I think off-road is the best track." With such a powerful horsepower, the performance of this Ford Raptor on sandy dirt roads and off-road roads is really exciting.

Philip showed a similar expression, "Excellent off-road ability is also one of his advantages. Do you live in a town?" The roads in the town are all asphalt roads, so naturally they don't reflect the feeling of off-road.

"Outside, next to the Marshall Valley Ranch." Lu Li said in one direction. The name of the Yunding Ranch has not been spread yet, so people naturally don't understand it, but after Charlie at the Sunset Bar publicizes it, the spread speed will speed up. "Before Beech Ranch is now renamed as Yunding Ranch."

"Oh, I know there." Philip nodded, and said professionally, "The road there is still easy to drive, but it will be more troublesome to continue to the west side. If you often go to the small town of Laomaso, then I can feel the true value of this Raptor." Although there was no in-depth conversation, Philip still managed to locate Lu Li, and said something really in place, "How are you, are you ready to go on the road now?"

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

Three or 10 minutes later, Lu Li completed all the formalities, completed the purchase, and owned his first pickup truck, which cost $[-].

Lu Li started on the road with his new car, and suddenly changed from a Mustang to a Raptor. He was really not used to it, not only because of the weight of the steering wheel, but also because of the heavy weight of the car, which took up three points more space on the driveway than the Mustang For one, the whole feel of being on the road changes.But at the same time, after the field of vision is widened, the whole momentum soars, and the feeling of rampage is really cool.

The small town of New Braunfels didn't have too many cars, which gave Lu Li room to practice, but after getting used to it, Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little bored. The empty streets couldn't feel the strength of the Raptor.Therefore, Lu Li simply left the town and headed towards the Yundian Ranch.

But after a while, the border of the ranch could be seen from a distance, and Lu Li hadn't fully enjoyed it yet.Passing by the door of the house, Lu Li still didn't step on the brakes, and continued to drive. Soon, the surrounding scenery became unfamiliar. The bumpy road finally made Lu Li feel the vehicle's excellent off-road ability. The smooth and stable driving feels really good. .

Lu Li was satisfied with this.

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

Slowing down the speed of the car, Lu Li searched the surroundings carefully. After a while, he found the name of this shooting range, "Sky Shield", and then his memory was awakened. This is Justin's shooting range!
It was agreed before that he would come here to visit Justin when he had time, and Lu Li himself planned to ask about guns, as well as tourists coming to shoot targets and play with guns.Hitting the sun is worse than picking the sun. Without any hesitation, Lu Li drove his car and found a spot in the parking lot of "Sky Shield".

After getting out of the car, under the scorching sun, Lu Li entered the "Tianshield" shooting range. When he entered the facade, Lu Li's eyes widened. This is a gun shop at all!
