Hello from Martinez, CA!

[Steve Iribarne]

I bought my new 2019 Raptor on Superbowl Sunday. Nothing like getting out of the dealership in 2 1/2 hours. It was great. Showed up at 10 and done my 12:30. There was no negotiation because well... it's a RAPTOR! This is my mid-life crisis Truck as my wife calls it. But she loves it just as much as I do.

I've always been a Ford guy from the day I was born. My dad bought me a 1966 F150, 3 on the tree (stick shift on the steering shaft for you young ones). The best thing about that truck was the gas tank being right behind the seat, I could always rock the truck to feel how much gas was left.

Anyway, I've always owned F-150's mainly because I can't fit into a car (too tall).

So far this is the best purchase I have ever made and it handled great in the Sierra's where my cabin is and we had TONS of snow this year.. It actually crawled through the snow. I was amazed...

Here she is in the snow after I finished digging out the driveway.

congrats.....if it takes longer then an hour and a half to negotiate and by a car, the dealership has issues.

Well done on a proper 1st post.

Nice truck and it does snow well. I go up to the Sierra every year for skiing and I did it in my Screw since 2017 when I traded my 2016 Taco sport for the Raptor. Love the Raptor and now getting it ready for overlanding seasons.

I like that you got the Snow Camo color option!
