2014 is the first year on the Raptor for that color. Your truck, is that Ruby Red?

They said I can change the color all the way up to before the build date. Now I just wait and wait.....
You will only see them from that year, being more rare and that more awesome!

Yes, and I love it. I have always been a red guy, and this is the best red I have had on a vehicle. It is so deep and rich, the shine after a fresh wax is awesome. Stick with the Ruby Red and don't change to Tuxedo Black. Black is a dime a dozen and you see one on every street corner.

Getting out of state so have to travel for delivery but the savings is worth it plus I save about $1000 on sales tax (got that all figured out before hand with my accountant).
Nothing better than an impromptu road trip getting to drive that beast home. Enjoy

Funny I recently configured the same one on the site in a goal to produce the most expensive F150 as my son gets a kick out of it. Beats out the Limited by a few thousand I think.

I also agree on the Ruby Red choice.

Yes, this is the most I have spent ever on a vehicle. I kinda look back at it, and say Wow. I got a good deal and I justified it as the payments will be about the same. I keep upgrading the quality of the trade every 3yrs and finally can afford this. Plan on having it paid off in 3yrs and only have to borrow around $25k. When I showed my wife what I did, she just said, "Hmm $55k, Hmm"

Our first 3 bedroom house in 86' was less than this truck....

Awesome choice. But dump the factory tonneau cover and get a DiamondBack. They look sick on Raptors.

I also agree on the Ruby Red choice.
Deck out a platinum limited's come in quite a bit under...
The biggies...add the 6.2L and adding the long bed allows accessories

Edit: well looks like they top out at $59,280. Less than last year! Go figure...oh wait, no $800 crew chief option!
Limited's top out at $57,880
King Ranch tops at $59,025 and the only model that I built that allows the $800 crew chief option.
Raptors top at the original posters truck (how awesome is that Raptor!!!)...$59,975

Ok that was fun lol!
