I agree on the ride and handling for sure. I keep telling my wife that it doesn't feel like a truck at all. She loves it so much that she wants to trade her Jeep for one. It's one of those vehicles that you can't truly appreciate until you've gotten to drive one. I find myself looking for excuses to drive it. I'm starting to think that I may even like it better than my ZL1.

Ford had the truck battle won, much to my dismay.

Always wanted a raptor.. but not economical for my lifestyle at all

Not that you would rank fuel economy #1 if you were looking at these, but you can practically watch the fuel gauge move. I like it, but its a toy like the old Hummers used to be.

lol @ raptors.

If you're looking for a little more "fun" in your Raptor, look into the Roush Raptors. Supercharged and with a warranty. 590hp and 590tq.

That is not even in the same league as the Raptor and it is about 15-20k to expensive. That is the great thing about the Raptor. With the fox suspension setup, the unique looks, and the powr it has, it is a complete bargain. Really, for the money, you couldn't take any truck and really build anything even close. You have to respect it and the singular place it holds in the truck world.

I'm have my dealer looking into adding this to my Raptor. The thing is that even with using a Roush dealer, I'm being told that the warranty is with Roush not Ford. Some of the factory warranty will be lost. I'm still trying to find out more about this though.

That's what brought me it. It truly is one of a kind. It's hard to believe that it isn't the most expensive model in the F150 lineup too.

Yeah, that's not even close to what a Raptor is and for less money.

Agreed, it doesn't really matter where your loyalties lie, the Raptor is one of those vehicles in a unique group of vehicles, you just have to respect because of what it is and what it represents. These will be selling at Auctions in 25 years for good money IMHO. I wonder if there will be a second gen Raptor based on the 15 model at any point? I would guess yes because it has really exceeded anyones expectations of what it would sell.
