Sweet looking ride m'lady. I tried to get one for my wife but she opted for the Explorer ST instead. Even though she loves the Raptor, it is intimidating to drive. I remember when I first took delivery of mine. It's stance and extra 6" certainly has a feel of it's own. Did not take long to get quite comfortable with her though. If you can, by all means do the Ford Performance School. Really fun and helps understand just how sweet your new Raptor is.

Female and blonde getting an awesome Raptor from Husband while he’s driving a plain old mustang. Something does not seem right.Previously drove a '14 Gen1-->stupid SUV--> '19 Gen2-->another stupid SUV--> and now the bestest husband in the world bought a '24 Gen3 plebeian 801A for me to drive! Have lurked (non registered) on the forum for its knowledge base since 2015-ish and after using the site for over a year to research the newest gen and using the Gen 3 delivery guide checklist (yeah them fuses needed to be seated better!) figured I would register and say thanks/hello!
Love the new truck but definitely gonna take some getting used to-- haven't driven a Raptor in 2 years but the Gen 3 seems way more.. substantial. Pray for me, I'm female and blonde. But never wrecked either of the other Raptors.

Figured next time I get the stupid urge to trade into a dinky POS SUV, I'll come here and look at all the cool things you all are doing with your trucks and remind myself that I ***need*** the workers at Starbucks to be in awe of me for my vehicle choices.

Thanks for all the kind welcomes and didn't want to start a new thread sooooo
This happened:
Husband expressed he wanted a (his own) Gen 1 sometime next year, I said I'd be on the lookout. Silly me, I found one nearly identical to our previous Gen 1. 2014, special edition, one owner, impeccable (dealer) mx history-- regular oil changes every 5k-7k and almost all the regular interval stuff (minus the shock rebuilds but they look brand new no leaks), everything STOCK and I'm pretty sure it was only off-roaded to park in the dirt lot at the state fair. High(ish) mileage (164k) but hubs went to look at it, liked it, bought it and drove it 300 miles home-- no issues. NEVER THOUGHT WE'D HAVE 2 RAPTORS AT ONCE AND I LOVE IT!!
Sadly, she will have to be parked outdoors (100% certain that's the way she has spent her whole life) I wish I had enough room in our garage to put her in, she deserves it.
