Wow thats a bad ass truck !!! What are they worth ?

Pretty good looking. It's hard to see the graphics on the black truck but does give it a subtle touch

i just saw one at a county fair . It was a red one though . It listed for 46,000

WOW.. uhm.. well.. nevermind.. that's not quite what I had hoped to see.. I remember seeing only a couple black Raptor pics, I guess I never looked close enough at the details.. but after seeing real world pics, I'd definately have to say Orange is the way to go for the Raptor..

I say steal the lights and motor and make a run for it.. :thumbsup:

i still cant bring myself to like the grille...or the headlights....or the taillights, but other than that its alright

I like 'em in the black, the orange is nice too

i want to see pics of the raptor parked next to a "regular" F-150

Why are there white stickers or something on the door and above the fender?

Wow, I like it!! I prefer the blue or orange though :drool: I might have to look into one since they will get the 6.2L motor before the f150 and I'm impatient :lol:

Its a shame that SVT puts there stamp on such a slow truck. I cant wait to see what that 6.2 can do tho

It's not meant to go fast. It's meant for off-road. Thought that was fairly obvious.

I did too actually, may not be fast but it can go anywhere.

Bypass shocks...long travel suspension? Kinda seems like it's made to go fast off-road?

paint protectors, used for transport

i saw an Orange one rolling through town where i live it looked sick finally getting to see one in person and not just pictures
but IMO Black defiantly looks more intimidating

ah ok, thanks

Meh. I'm sure the engine is a hoot, but I'll pass on the rest. The running boards are hideous.

I agree IMO I don't see it being worth 46000 or however much they said. I would rather mod my own and get exactly what I want. But that's my opinion.

They sell it 49 900$ here in Canada. Damn i want one :(

Sweet!

Why is everyone so obsessed with this truck? No doubt it has some nice features and specs but it FUGLY. I mean like Susan Boyle ugly!

:lol:

I like it. Can it be ordered without the decals?

Are you kidding? I don't think there is anything else out there that can touch it for go fast off roading! I'd venture to say the 5.4 version would blow the doors off anything else for speed off road, and the 6.2 will only be better.

SVT needed to do something different. How do you properly follow up the Ford GT - Ford and SVT's most potent offering ever and the first real American production car to break 200 MPH? You show the world you can do something completely different - and blow people's doors off in a completely different environment.

I think the Raptor is going to prove well worthy of the SVT reputation and all their efforts. Way to go Ford!

Yes, simple option.

Nice truck, would love to get to drive one

I wish that Ford would make a package with some of the raptors features availible for the fx4- like the fox shocks, bfg 35's as an option so you could have the best of both worlds and get a raptor esque package on a screw.

I drove a black Raptor today and wish I hadn't. I might not be able to talk myself out of buying it. It stickered at $42,000. The first deal offer was trade my 2004 FX4 scab with 108,000 miles and $32,000 out the door. Somebody stop me.

I want to drive the 427 and not 5.4. Been driving a 5.4 for several years I know what their lke.

no offense to anyone but Ford is going the wrong direction with these interiors. WTF IS THE DEAL WITH ORANGE. I'm also not a fan of the dash. As of the Ford's 08+ fleet's, I'd only consider an 08 F250. The interior is very nice on the Lariat's.

Did you drive a fx4 and see if there was any power diff?

Thanks

I drove an FX4 months ago. The raptor is a very different ride. The power appeared to be the same. I have been looking for a new ride for a while (cars and trucks) and nothing got me going till I drove the raptor. I think Ford has NAIL IT, this truck kicks. I drive alot with my work and worry about gas going back up on day. I am a 5.4 fan but if you need 400 hp the raptorX should put the F150 on top of everything else.

The interior of the Raptor reminds me of a Kia Soul's interior.

http://image.trucktrend.com/f/106555...erior_view.jpg

You can pick up one with the luxury package for about $38k

About the same a an Fx4 supercrew with Lux package. Although that is dealer invoice and dealers are more inclined to go below invoice on the Fx4 and go close to MSRP for he raptor

An FX4 with 3.73s is equal to a raptor with 4.10s on 35s. 10% more gear to offset the 10% more tire. besides the weight difference of a raptor being an extended cab it should feel about the same.

:devil:

Ok everyone update. we got a white Raptor in last week and it blows the doors off the black one in the looks dept. This one you can actually see the graphics on the side and to me they look good. The interior is ALL black with leather and small amount of cloth on the seats. The center stack and console are a textured silver not like whats around the current AC vents but different, looks ten times better. I took pics but left my camera at work. We have a customer that is buying it and i am adding a ton of parts to it. i tried to sell him on the 20" KMC Addict wheels but i dont think he is going for it, we will see. He said he is def getting 20s (not sure which ones) with Toyo MTs 35x12s

i'll keep everyone posted...

Here are the KMC Addict wheels i like...

20s on a Raptor? :ll:
Everyone is missing the point of this truck.
