Hi everyone! I just realized that I never formally introduced myself here. I live in Buena Vista, Co. Basically dead center of the state, right at the base of the Collegiate Peaks & the Continental Divide.

Unlike many here, I decided that I wanted a new truck, NOT SPECIFICALLY a Raptor... I was looking at all trucks, Ford, Chevy, GMC, Dodge, and Toyota. While researching specs, prices, residual value, durability, reliability, etc... The Raptor kept coming up in a lot of different categories. I was out test driving different trucks when I drove past the "used" section and spotted my truck a 2014 Ruby Red Screw w/ 20k on it. I knew from what I had read, the Raptor was a pretty "in demand" truck. I drove it, went back, drove another 2015 Dodge, and a RMT Denali GMC. I knew I was sold. Worked out a fantastic deal for the Raptor and I've never looked back.

I spend most of my time on here reading and researching anything I can about my Raptor, and hopefully, I will at some point be able to contribute, and pay everyone back in kind for all the insights that I've found here.

Thank you for the forum, and I look forward to getting to know everyone and helping if I can.

Welcome to the forum @Bandit4142!

You bought the right truck for sure!

Are those aftermarket brakes, or did the previous owner paint the stock calipers?

Thank you for the welcome everyone!

Good eye Dan! Unfortunately, no aftermarket brakes. I painted the calipers a bright red, and the rotor hats black. That was one of the first things I did, along with blacking out the reflectors on the mirrors, and coating the back inner fender wells with a spray on bed liner. Surprised Ford didn't do that from the factory... or at least paint them decent. :)
