Default Got a Raptor!!!

Well it took nearly 7 hours of negotiations today and collectively 4 months of watching what has passed through the local dealerships. We finally came to an agreement and I am the proud owner of a new 2017 Black Raptor SCREW. Came out with a discount, more than I wanted on my 2015, free dent and paint protection.

Hold to your guns, it is possible to get a good deal on these things.


Taking delivery tomorrow after I remove some parts from the current truck. Truley excited!
Will take pics!

Not sure on Raptor Assault.

I did like my intake on the 2015, I hated my exhaust set up. It was way too loud in the cabin with the Side exit exhaust and Catless pipes. The turbo noise was great though. I am patiently waiting for clips of resonator cut outs or catless with stock catback.

Foglights as well when I see something that I like.

I'll post pics with the Tint tomorrow. I did 20% sides and 50% on the windshield.

Loving this thing. I know the dealer put 87 octane gas in it and when pulling onto the highway I felt like it kept pulling power and lurching. Then I finally realized that its spinning the tires and pulling power at 60-70 mph. 4A on and it PULLS! Can't wait to get a tank full of 93 in her...
