Oh yeah I want one, but...
In order for it to happen I'd have to sell the BMW and probably one if not both the motorcycles.....Not sure I want a Raptor quite that bad at this time..
There is one running around town here that is just nasty it is modded to the fullest...I saw that thing again last night, WOW !!

I know there's a forum the Raptor but everyone over there was a 
to me so I left. You guys and gals seem a lot nicer. My dream truck is a loaded Race Red Raptor with the graphics package and extended cab. I have big plans for it if I can ever afford one but if I have faith in God and follow is will, I think I'll get one one day. I was wondering if anyone had one or wanted one. I would type up all the mods I want for it but I'm still researching everything I want from ADD. Also where to find a driveshaft after I add a Rousch Super Charger. Any help would be great!

Any help would be great!Give Livernois a call, they can help you with a driveshaft, though for a boosted 6.2 without forged internals I doubt you'll need a 'special' one.
Not sure where the 'fall apart' and 'overpriced' comment comes from. The fit and finish in mine is just fine for a 50k truck, it's as good as my $95k Range Rover (which was designed by Ford engineers btw). WRT overpriced, if you have to finance the truck then you are at the will of the dealer as to what deal they will make you. I paid 6k less than MSRP back when nobody had Raptors so they were marked up at least 10k at every dealership.
I daily drive mine, with over 33k miles on it, zero issues.
Mid perch, aftermarket wheels, full stainless exhaust, CAI and a tune.

Five-0 Ret.
Oh man, to have a Raptor. Putting the price aside however, IMHO it would be in the same catagory as my resent '04 Lightning. Loved the truck, it was my everday driver. But, I found it just wasn't a very pratical EDD. A weekend warrior would be where both would shine.
Not saying a EDD Raptor is wrong if you use it that way. This is just my experience.

Yes, I DO own a Raptor. Nicest F150 I've owned (out of 7). No, I do not beat it, didn't buy it for that. It will get me to places I shouldn't be in lousy weather and it will get me home too.
I like to hunt in the mountains when snows on the ground....deep snow.
Price? I priced it against a comparably equiped regular F150 and it was CHEAPER or the same depending on options. It does have drive train features you cannot get in a regular F150.

For that 1K you get the wider stance, front diff that's better, suspension that's better, tires and rims I happened to like better. This applied to the 2012 I bought. I don't know what the 2013's have.
