They are fantastic trucks. The off road system is fantastic, the new 6.2L V8 is fantastic, they look fantastic, whats not to love. They put one that was basically stock into the Baja 1000 and it took third...

I personally havent taken one off road yet, but Ive driven one twice(hope to sell it tomorrow!!!), and F---in love it! People cant help but stare, and all Ive done was driven it around the block. Plenty of umph! for the stock 5.4. Me and a co-worker, when we took it around the block, decided to drive over the curb from the main road into our empty, grassy lot at about 15mph, and hardly felt the curb. Very smooth. Exhaust sounds good. Power band is weak at 1500-2000rpm. Once you hit 2500rpms though, she moves!!
All in all, awesome truck to drive straight from the factory. The pics in my work album, and my profile pic, is the one ive driven.

I think the interior can be ugly and hell! I'm mainly talking about the orange trimmed models. Overall I think they are a cool truck but I don’t think they are going to do very well in sales. I have a friend who works at a local Ford dealership and he has told me that they have not yet sold the two Raptors that they have.
On a side note I am anxious to hear feedback on the new larger 6.2l engine that Ford offers with these trucks. I hope this engine will do well so that maybe Ford will begin to offer it as an available engine option in the regular F-150s. They way I see it, if we aren't going to get a diesel option in our half tons we may as well should be able to choose from more than the 4.6 or the 5.4 in our new trucks. Anyone agree?

I sat in one at the offroad expo and I can tell you it was way more comfortable than my 05 screw. the seat just feels like it holds you better, I guess its part of the baja racing design.
