Raptor experiences

[RALPHIE]

I guess I'll keep my old 1989 GMC K-3500 1-Ton 4X4 with the Big Block 454 (7.4 L) & manual tranny -

(2012 included towing a car trailer from San Francisco to Seattle & back - about 800 miles in each direction)

Stock here too.... but only 17xxx miles, but since January 1st this year.

Love my Raptor. I have over 85,000 miles already. Unlike Ed Sims, mine is stock. My Brother in law got tired of drooling over mine and just bought one.

Love them. They do almost everything well except fuel economy.

I have a verbal deposit down for the first 2016 Raptor. They will be cool. I had the first 2010 Raptor at my friend's dealership & will be the first for the new one.

Nice!

Ed....With the proposed changes to the 2016 model which include greatly improved mileage I may be inclined to stand in line as well.....although I generally don't make a move on anything fresh out of the shoot.

 

[Ed Sims]

Ford just sent info to the dealers: the next Raptor will be a 2017 model (same as the new GT & GT350R) & won't be available until Fall of 2016. That's a bummer.

That's what I heard.....I've only put 13k on my '14 so another 2 year wait could actually work out ok for me. I sure like the looks of them.

Guess you'll just have to keep on putting smiles on your patients faces while you wait for the new one.

And raj dropped, during an interview, at the 24 hour that the truck will have 450 hp out of the ecoboost.

I'm sure Torrie can get me closer to 600hp aka GT power! (Well, with 2000 more lbs - LOL)

Time to wait!

Look at you Ed. Go man, go.

I told my Dad how long the wait was gonna be for a new one so he flew to Vermont and is driving back a white 2014. :lol

 

[Specracer]

Nice, will match the super duty.

 

[SSRob]

Love my Raptor. I decided to put a shell on it and some more LED lights.

 

[Specracer]

That's looks great!

 

[SSRob]

Thank ya! That top light bar is INSANELY bright. I can run around on the beach down here by the river at night and it's like driving in daylight.

Suge Knight ran over two guys and killed one of them yesterday. Arrested and charged with murder. Murder weapon? Red SVT Raptor...

This guy has a million lives. Why he still walks this earth is beyond me.
