Love the Raptor, hate the front end. It's also not a very practical truck, and 99% of them will never be used the way they were designed.

I like that Ford is still into making a performance truck and the Raptor is an awesome truck.
But it's not something I'd ever buy. Not practical for me.

There are more guys interested in making their trucks fast rather than making good sand-runners. It's not a bad looking truck, but I haven't been a fan of the F-150 front end since the body change in '09. IMO it's too wide and doesn't flow well unless the truck is lifted.

I really like it, I just don't like the "Raptor" tear decals that are along the bed sides. Course you can get it without those. Is it practical? No, not for me. But it is a nice truck.
I guess I dont see how people find it "not practical. ITs still an extended cab, the bed isnt that small, it tows, gets decent mileage. :dunno:
It's a beast! If I lived out west where I do some some desert running, it'd be my next truck. I just don't have places around here where the Raptor can be fully utilized.

:withstupid:

I would rock it, if I could get it in a 6.2L. I just couldn't justify the money of having it and not being able to open it up somewhere:dunno:

If the CC was out already I wouldnt own a tahoe...:naughty:

Actually, they drive really nicely around town. Much easier to handle and park than my F-350 work truck or my previous Silverado personal truck. Ford seems to have done a really good job balancing performance and driveability in the Raptor. Like I said before, if I didn''t drive so far every day (and had $45k tucked away under my mattress) I would have one for sure, even though I would probably only utilize its full offroad capabilities once or twice a year.

I like the look of 'em. I would definitely consider it, if I was in the market for a truck like that and felt like I could actually justify the money spent.. And, no, I'm not saying it's too expensive. To me, they are priced comparable to the GMC Sierra Denali trucks (which I previously owned) and the Raptor is MUCH more capable for off-road use...

I would rather buy something already fleshed-out than buy something else for less money and try to build it up.. But, that's just me. I'm not real big on "messing" with my stuff a lot, though.. Buy it already done and if it has problems, let the dealer fix it. :dunno:

Well to tell you the truth, I didn't mind the look of them, but now think they are bad ass after seeing this one!

SuperCrew is coming out soon. Can't wait to see that one too!
