I just left a dealer who has the limited edition Ruby Red metallic . Or special edition. Anyway, I am about 3 weeks away from securing my money for this truck. I am not sure who within say 150 miles has one of any variation, haven,t looked seriously. They had a couple Tuscany trucks in the 150 Black ops, I support the military and the area is home to several bases. Two nephews were in Marines, dad in Navy, but I did not serve, bad knees and back unfortunately. I would feel like a poser or a I don,t know , a wanna be. I could rebadge it, but I would not like to. So I have a plan B, get a 250 in a 6.2 MY 15', and make my own version Randall's Raptor Redue. Cosmetics would be diff in graphics, seat covers, and a few other things, but it would be my way I suppose. Cost would be a bit less. Only thing would be warranty on truck and not add ones. At least not from Ford. Keeping my fingers crossed it is still there when I can afford it. I would not be to bummed well maybe a little, but surely have a lot of fun building one. Anyone else thinking this way?

Have anyone of y'all noticed this on Ford's website...Seems to me if they we're going to kill it off they would just say so. So, I think we can expect some news maybe next Detroit Auto Show...

Thanks bro. It would certainly be a one of a kind Halfton09. However, it has been a little while since I have been on the forum, so a lot of things have happened in the past week or so. I FOUND MY RAPTOR AND BOUGHT IT!!
It is in Oxford white with full black graphics package or as my grandson calls it Casper the friendly Raptor. I did not tell him but it is far from friendly! LOL. It is BAD as in BAD A..! I had already set my sights on a F250 Platinum, and was going to add my touch to it. I told the sales man when we were looking at the SD and told him I was wanting a Raptor but the local dealer in my home town had sold the 4 he had on hand before I was ready to buy, and was not sure if he was going to get anymore. Drove over to the city about 45 miles away to look at 250's that is when the sales man said they had just gotten one in and it was just moved to the showroom floor. Well needless to say, I had a dream fulfilled that day, I had always wanted to get the truck of my own choosing and drive it off the showroom floor. And I did. Well the service mgr actually backed it out to the outside covered area porch so to speak. I drove it off the porch. I did not intend to hijack this thread so I will start my own and post pics and list my upgrades there.
