Being in Texas (DFW area), I'm surprised I don't see them more often. There's one I see occasionally on my commute, and one I see at the gym sometimes (Which I think may belong to former Dallas Cowboy great Randy White, as when it's in the lot, he's inside the gym). Both of them are the same Tuxedo black as mine though.
I know there are a lot out there, as the dealerships all claim they can't keep them in stock, and my dealer sold another Black one a couple days before I bought mine. I just never see them, even though my drive is 45 miles to work every day.

I'm in love with the popularity of these trucks. For years I driven the baddest harley truck in the AREA and even though I like top notch....I hate the stereotyping that goes around. The stereotype i received from my harley was much more respect due to what I made the truck into. I work my ass off for nice things just the same others do for other vehicles, maybe with different pay but it is what it is. Just saying, having more and more Screws around also gives me that many more smiles! I like to consider myself retired from being the show for a little while. ;)

This is the last year until 2016 and in 2016 it will not be the raptor as we now know it.

Blood, I was just going to comment on the talk of an all new F150, aluminum, and the, at least temporary, stop on Raptor production in 2014. What I've heard seems to be rumor and innuendo but given your connections, may actually be based in fact. Is that confirmed?
