But with this you could go faster in the dirt than most other trucks and there would be fewer cops out there to give you a ticket.
Anybody planning on getting a Raptor?

I won't buy a new one. But when I get the 08 paid off in a few years Ill consider one when I get ready to buy a new truck.
Pricing has not been released, I imagine we will see pricing and options released in late February. I've heard that they will likely try to keep pricing 45-50k, but we'll have to wait and see.

good luck getting one for MSRP
This looks like a great cross between my Terminator and my Sierra 4x4 Flare Side. Could it be that I can have my sports car and truck in one vehicle? I am seriously considering but my Cobra would have to go which would be tough. However, I can only drive the Cobra 6 months a year and the Raptor is 24/7 and 12 months a year. Fog, Rain, Snow, Ice, etc. I am way interested in thsi truck.
Any updates on the MSRP pricing?
i heard pricing will be out in feb sometime.
Do you know all the current specs on the truck?
What do you want to know? Check out F-150 SVT Raptor Sweepstakes. The specs on the 6.2L still haven't been released.
no. i am a big fan though. and have had conversations with the marketing manager for the ford raptor and the gentleman that built and raced the raptor r at baja.:beer:
if price tag was under $30k you bet your ass i'd get one!
pockets just won't be deep enough when they come out :shrug:

Most Lightning owners want a fast truck that still has hauling capabilities. This Raptor thingy is by far the ugliest truck on the lot.

the lightning does nothing a normal car cant do! whats the point of it? really taking a heavy work truck chassis and trying to make it a little bit fast is a bad idea from the get go. ask dodge? they found out the hard way!
There is a place for both but the Raptor does offer a more versatile package. If everyone lived in Cali or Florida the L would be a great year-round truck. Unfortunately, some of us live where it snows and some of us even like to go off-road every now and then. I tried to convince myself several times to buy a Lightning but just couldn't justify it. Too limited in use. I had a Ranger that I swapped a 5.0 into. It was a fun little truck but I couldn't use it for all the things I needed a truck to do. A Lightning would have been no different. Different strokes for different folks...
I thought it was a great idea. Some folks want a sports car but need a truck. This allows them to get that with the Lightning. I can run down to Lowes or Home Depot in the L and haul bricks, lumber, etc, and then turn around and run it down the quarter mile.
It needs to be lowered:lol1:
