I don’t care what anybody drives as long as they don’t ask me to help pay for it.Only Guy I ever knew with one was this little twerp at work,definitely had little man syndrome.About 5’4””,also had Harley he would ride to work frequently.When he was cruising through parking garage he would rev it up so loud plaster would fall off the walls.

I'm not a Ford fan at all but it is comical how many people think a Raptor is just a jacked up suspension with big tahrs.
It's almost a completely different truck from an F150.

NOLA. I paid sticker ($63k) for mine 2+ years ago not long after the 2nd Gen came out. All of the local dealers were marking up between $5-15k over MSRP around here, if they even had or could get one at the time. Had to make a bunch of calls around and found a dealer who had an allotment to order one and wasn't marking up above sticker. I got to pick the color and all the options I wanted.

The haggling on price for Raptors, at least up here, is non-existant.

I would love a Raptor. Like 500hp.
The only truck that’d be as much to drive would be the supercharged Tundra which they quit making. A factory supercharger with warranty would be badass.

I drive a new raptor and you won't catch me anywhere near mud. Only thing I care about with the suspension is that it looks badass. I got it because of the 450hp, 510 torque and 10 speed transmission they collaborated with Chevy for it and the Corvette. Raptor in sport mode paddle shifting is a hell of a good time. And it's practical. Badass and practical for daily life? Got me to sign up. And I don't have any graphics/decals on it. Just wanted the badass vehicle, not the status symbol.

Could always just buy a DOOD grill, a few lights from Autozone and some stickers and call it a Raptor.

The only person that says a Raptor isn't worth the money is a person that doesn't have one.

The price around me ranges around 60-70k and that’s all colors. Of course they have some in the 80-100 range too. There is definitely a wide price range for base raptors to the upper end models

That's like with a bunch of aftermarket BS. The "shelby" raptors are not even built by Shelby, they are built by Tuscany conversions.
As anyone who actually has one can tell you, no other truck matches the ride and handling of the raptor. It's like a jacked up sports car that rides like a dream.

The raptor was a production vehicle literally made for the baw market

Major douchewagon.

A neighbor traded in his Honda Ridgeline for a Raptor.
Must be getting test injections or something.

I drive a Raptor and I’m certainly not a douche. There’s a few reasons I bought mine. 1. I like performance vehicles. Always have. The Raptor has no equal as far as performance trucks.
2. The Raptor holds its value better than any vehicle on the the road. Look it up, you’ll see. No sense not owning one if you have the means to own a performance vehicle.
3. I didn’t pay sticker, I actually paid invoice for mine. If you shop around you’ll find deals on Raptors.
With that said, I enjoy cars. I’ll keep it until something else interests me, then I’ll trade it in without taking an arse whipping.

The eco boost rules the raptor out in my book. Fkn cuisinart bs.

Exact reason why I still have my 6.2. The Ecoboost sounds like a lawn mower.

Bro is a nickname my son gave me. It was actually a jab at all the douche “Bro’s”. We’ve been calling each other that since.
So yeah, if that checks out whatever.
