Some pics the dealer I bought it from took. If you do some looking, MSRP is not hard to find. I refused to pay over.

I'm actually going out to dinner with the owner of a Ford dealership next week.

We are casual friends at best. But I've been back and dirty with him and he recent my sold me two trucks.

He specifically told me he would hook me up with one if I wanted it.

Problem is I love my beemer. But it's tempting.

Love the new raptor been thinking about getting one but I would probably still end up ripping it apart and upgrading all the suspension and putting in a full cage. Worst mistake I've made is letting my wife convince me to sell my race truck. Thought when I had my first kid I would never have time to use it. Now that my son is 2 he absolutely loves offroad trucks. Had a couple Dodge Ram 6.7l cummins with full DPF/EGR deletes and custom Carli Suspension Bilstein 2.65 kits as DDs/Tow rigs. They were even better offroad than the old raptor.

You won't regret it. I promise. And they hold their value so I'd you ever needed to switch back. Easy

Nice wheels! love the '17 Raptors

I've always had trucks being in construction, currently have a '13 F150 Limited Eco-Boost and love it to death, been looking to upgrade to newer model but it runs great, never had any issues and actually slightly prefer the body over the newer ones (excluding the Raptor!)

Since this pic was taken have added some Nitto Terra Grapplers and a front level

My future father-in-law has a 1980 F-150 he has owned since new and still has to this day

Ahh that makes sense!!

Nice truck. Too bad they only sell them at Ford dealerships. I've had absolutely horrible experiences at domestic car dealers.

Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, no problem, no pressure, they make it easy and painless. Want to drive a couple different models? No problem. Want to think about it for a day or talk to your wife? No problem. Last time I test drove a car at a Ford dealership I practically had to punch a sales manager to get out of there.

I've had about 75 cars in my 40 years of driving. I'm never satisfied with any of them. EXCEPT for the trucks I've owned. I've recently moved myself into a Wrangler in hopes that it's just enough "truck" to keep me happy.

Raptor is awesome!

I wish they made a basic, less frills Raptor in a regular cab.

They do. You can get an scab stripper for around 50k. Still a lot of dough, which is why there is a Ford ranger "raptor" in the works

I rented a Jeep Wrangler once. Most miserable vehicle I've ever had the misfortune to drive. I was in Mexico and it was a choice between that and a Beetle. I should have picked the Beetle.

[MaxEight]

The new Raptor is a beast...ten speeds, the thing must shift every two or three seconds. And the EcoBoost 3.5 is insane in that truck. Never did get to test drive one, though.

I'm a truck driver for the last ten years, so the most obvious choice for me was a pickup truck until I'm able to afford the new RR Phantom VIII, lol. I had looked at the Ram Ecodiesel, but it's difficult to find one in a standard cab configuration on Long Island. Heck, it took me a few months to find an F150 XL in a standard cab. Stumbled upon some leftovers at a local dealership which were turned down by the landscaping company that originally ordered them, they knocked almost nine grand off the sticker, and I drove off the lot. Love my '16 F150 - it's bare bones up front but outfitted with all the options underneath: extended tank, heavy tow package, oil and tranny coolers, max GVW springs, and the Coyote V8.

Amazing how comfortable trucks are nowadays!!

It's also mostly fake and pumped in via the cars speakers.

I thought you might have meant these kind of trucks ...

[SearChart]

Wish I could afford a Raptor, they're very badass!

[austinp]

Tundra owner here. Switched all company trucks in 08 and couldn't be happier. They all run 25k miles a year and answer the bell every day. That Raptor is a different beast all together. If love to own one for pleasure.

That Raptor is a really nice truck! I've always owned a truck, because I find them to be incredible useful. No matter if I'm taking the kids fishing, hauling all my gear to the shooting range, pulling a trailer, taking out some stinky trash or just making a grocery run a good ol' truck is tough to beat. Currently, I own this Toyota Tacoma, and while it's certainly no Raptor, it's proven itself to be reliable and plenty capable.

If you can't enjoy a wrangler in Mexico you're a lost cause.

What were you expecting?
