So I currently have a 03 Harley Davidson F150 for my DD and going this week to see about getting a '12 Raptor to take its place. I am getting it on the A plan so I am getting a really good deal is why I am finally looking seriously at getting one.

I've had 4x4's before & liked them but been more into lightnings & the HD the past few years. I'm pretty sure I'll love it but was kind of wondering what all of you current owners think, especially since I'm going from a supercharged 2wd to a 4wd. All inputs wanted please!!

That's what I'm hoping with that 6.2L. This will be my very first NEW vehicle too do I'm kind of nervous & excited. I remember the first raptor I laid eyes on, at the rouge plant in Dearborn, MI in 2010 & absolutely loved them. I'll do more street driving than off road, but intend on having fun in it as well.

I notice one downfall is MPG's, but as you can tell by my vehicles I go more by SPG's than MPG's lol

That's almost what my HD gets city because of a heavy pedal. How do the Borlas sound on there? And by the way thanks for the welcome and the compliment on the cobra!

I had a 04 lightning. Loved that truck. But the raptor in my opinion is more fun. Not as much throw you back in the seat as the lightning. But the ride and the look is awesome. I did the headers and tune and cold air intake. You won't be disappointed.

Welcome and I agree with everyone else the Raptor is a beast! I havea CAI and tune from 5 Star and it really makes the Raptor into a beast. You will love it I have no doubt!

Welcome, up until 2012 included there is no A Z plan on Raptors. I went thru the process and would check on it before you get to excited about the A plan price. I've been getting A/Z plan for 30+ years and this is my first non plan purchase. Good luck.

Well hopefully I'll get to use it. If not I'll try my best to get it around invoice. Got to look at a guys blue one yesterday about 40 miles from home & it looked so good. It made me want one even more. Can't wait until I get mine.
