Having been a huge fan of Super Duties, having owned 6 I never considered a F150 kind of considered them as a matchbox truck, however test drove a 2012 Raptor while they were changing the oil in my 2011 F250 and WOW what a truck. Was in my driveway two days later.

Very impressive truck, if you need large bed space probably not for you, unless the bed extender would work.

Big difference between the Raptor and all others is the limited production, don't see many pull up to a red light and you will see 2/3 Superduties and other F150's and no other Raptor. Pull into a service station and you will have folks drooling and wondering what "is a Raptor."

Don't purchase if fuel economy is your goal, 6.2L 411HP engine is a drinking machine...14 MPG around town. Your probably not getting much better than that now and with the price point of gas verse diesel you will save some cash...

All in all Raptor gets my vote.
