NEW RAPTOR ORDERED
Well I traded in my old truck for one of them Raptors today. Should be here early next week. Are they as good as the price demands? I need a 4x4, and wanted somthing special to last awhile. What should I know that`s bad besides the gas mileage?

I picked up my Raptor today. Tux Black. Now I have to read the stack of manuals that comes with it.Plenty of power,smooth ride,nice rumble. My salesman is Victor Wickersham, race car driver back in the 60`s that piloted a white 64 1/2 Mustang Fastback with 427 built by Holmes and Moody? that ran 8`s. He said that he still owns it.

Any pics? What cab did you get? Im super jealous as I would love a Tux Black or Ignot Silver SuperCrew right now. A guy can dream....right? |

Yeah the 6.2L is a beast. Love the sound that engine emits. The Raptor is definitely a good choice as it'll pretty much do anything you want, with some very far off limits. Congrats again!

I picked it up from the dealership after work today. They did a professional job on the spray in bedliner. It looks like they unbolted everything before spraying it. Took it off-road to get familiar with the 4x4 features and I was actually impressed. Noticed the trany temp getting hotter as I dogged on it. I never had a vehicle w/ trans temp gauge before. I`ll have to read up on the max allowed.So far so good.

I have a couple hundred mi. on the Raptor so far and I`m thinking to myself why would anybody want to buy a Vette? This thing reminds me of a Swiss Army knife. You can take it anywhere and do anything. Bar None:9

Is it a 2012 or 2013,and what kind of deal did you get?Did you have to pay MSRP?
|
It`s a 2012,paid the sticker price. They usually mark it up a few thousand because it`s a premium vehicle. I`ve been eyeballing some custom wheels and tires from 4wheel parts. It already broke down on me,fried the computer.I`m not too happy about that,just glad it didn`t happen in the desert mountains last month when I took it out.
|
Gotcha. I'll be in the market soon and have it narrowed down to another F250 or a Raptor. It seems as though they will be about the same price. I guess I will have to go test drive one and check out the fun factor.

I have had my 2012 race red raptor for 2 weeks now.....lovin this truck !!!!
|

All of my friends drive them too. if anyone ever needs one I'd be glad to help them |
