    Over the last 30 years, I've owned 4 F-150s. I lived in the northwest and owned property. Great trucks, worked hard, took a beating. My last truck was a Crew Cab Lariat. Every single option. It was amazing. I moved to Las Vegas and now have no use for the truck. I sold it and bought a hard top convertible. No use for a big truck. Dammit all to hell!! Now Ford comes out with this and I have to have one. Good bye Lexus. Hello Ford. I've missed you. Mine will be a 6.2 though

    I took the Ford Rouge factory tour in Dearborn about three weeks ago, and there were a few Raptors going through the line then. Of course you're not allowed to take photos in the plant, but what I saw looked pretty nice. We just saw the bodies going through though; no look at what goes under the hood or the suspension.
    The other thing I noticed on that tour...there wasn't a single yellow truck in the line that day; everything was either red, black, silver, or maroon for the most part.

    It's hard to believe that 1500 orders maxed out Ford’s capacity. Are they building them in a side building one by one instead of using the assembly line process?

    I have never been the sole owner of a pickup. But if anything could change my mind, it would be the Raptor. It's just one of those vehicles that 'does' it for me.

    @pauljones:
    One of the pickups that I wasn't sole owner of was a Ford Lightning, which was awesome. I haven't seen any pickup since then that grabbed my interest until the Raptor.

    Where in the hell is the turbo-diesel this size/typical use demands?

    If idiots are going to continue to use these as commuter pods, I want them using less of the juice!

    @I gotta job, I'm gonna pay the rent:
    They'll have the turbo diesel, just not in the raptor, or so I've been lead to believe. The raptor seems like kind of a reimagining of the F150 Lightning, except more off road focused.

    Ah, finally. We're given an offroad ready suspension from the factory that's not that stiff as brick piece of shit in a z71 packaged Chevrolet.

    My fleeting wish would be for these to only be supplied to rural dealerships. Although I know nearly all the sales are going to go to city folk who will never experience their full capability.

    If 90% of pickup truck purchases are completely unnecessary, then this is my brand of unnecessary.

    @Ash78: Amen. Say what you will about the guy with the pickup truck in a 3 piece suit commuting into Manhattan who is just gonna park the truck in a garage all day, but one day I could be that guy, and you know what, I won't give a fuck what anyone thinks, because I have a V8 RWD truck that will always be better than a Prius, no matter how high gas prices get, or how congested the roads are. Because, as car guys, we know that there is no such thing as an unnecessary vehicle. Unless it's a Prius.

    @Z71 supports the victims of the Jezebel Massacre: Yeah but that's what you say now while fuel prices are relatively low.
    But every time there's a jump in fuel prices, I see many of the "I Have a V8 Truck" people crying like babies asking the government to "do something"... and I just laugh my ass off at them as I send a counter-message to government telling them to do NOTHING about fuel prices.
