    Yes, the raptor has reduced payload and towing ability compared to the regular F-150.

    It's designed for different things but still plenty capable for the "regular" truck work.

    You wouldn't want to do that to a raptor. It already has the awesome suspension that can soak up huge bumps, and landings. It's a totally different suspension than the regular F-150's. https://jalopnik.com/heres-what-makes-the-new-ford-raptors-suspension-intere-1785035199

    You should get a trailer.

    Dent a trailer, no biggie, dent your awesome truck, that's no bueno. Also you can tow a lot more and it's easier on the truck s suspension.
