Coming to the dirty side....anxiously awaiting the 2012s!

[Reptar]

Well I've bounced from quite a few "next vehicles", from being dead set on a 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS, then seeing the 2011 Mustang GT 5.0, then getting hooked on a 2010 Shelby GT500, I've gone full circle and ended up right back to a TRUCK. Need to condense vehicles, and I need a truck for home depot trips, a truck to tow with, cab space for an eventual family, and something I can drive year round, and through crappy back roads on base without worrying about bending a rim, getting stuck in snow, or muddy.

Whats the perfect vehicle for all that? A 2012 SVT Raptor Supercrew. I'll be selling my second 2000 HD truck late this fall to put towards the Raptor through Randy. We bought my fiance's 2011 Mustang GT 5.0 through Randy last year and he was awesome to deal with.

Some of you from the Lightning/Harley Truck world know me as Harley#356. With somewhere between 40-50,000 posts on the HD and L forums, I figured it was about time for a new screen name for these trucks since they're about as polar opposite as you can get for a truck within the Ford scene.

I was really hoping they'd offer the 3.5 ecoboost in the 2012's but seems like that's not going to happen. I drove one at the ford challenge and was blown away by it. The 6.2 is nice, but I've been spoiled with all these blown 5.4's, but I won't have much choice lol.

I'll put some pics up of my other baby later....my first 2000 HD truck, worlds fastest street HD truck, 10.32 @ 131 in the 1/4 mile

Cool man welcome to the raptor forum. i have a 11 blue scab on order. i heard out there the price might be going up at least another 1k for the screw. just a rumor. i ordered an 11 i dont think they will be much different. oh yea i also had to sell my duramax in order to get this truck. owning 4 cars its way too many for just 2 people.

Well I am glad to see that you don't take any interest in the participation of the vehicles you buy.

Welcome

I guess we will get to know you pretty well. Now the wait begins.

I was fighting the same thing over a year ago i really need a truck but wanted a mustang. Ended up getting a Raptor. Now I am waiting for the 2013 GT500. The 2012s added a bunch of cool shit I think its worth the wait.

Even if the price goes up a little (which they typically do ever year), the resale value of a newer vehicle is a little higher than an older one, so it all evens out eventually lol. I've waited this long, I'd rather wait for the 12's, plus I need to sell my street truck first, or see if Randy can coordinate a trade in with it. I know there's nothing major for '12, but the little tweaks will be nice.

lol doubt I'll post ***** it up on here nearly as much. Life's just too busy now days, and still wrapped up in HD's/L's and new fiddling with the new 5.0's. Won't go as crazy on the Raptor as I did the HD, but already getting mod ideas for it from here

Yeah I know a few guys selling their GT500's in preparation for getting a 2013, supposed to be nasty! Luckily my fiance bought a 2011 5.0 GT after her SRT-4 neon was totaled by a stoned driver hitting her parked car. Ran 12.6 @ 111 100% BONE STOCK, and 12.0 @ 117 with intake, tune, and DR's. Car is ridiculous. $1500 bucks in mods and you're running 11's, getting 25 mpg, and daily driven.
