Just got a '16 Lariat, fairly loaded, but no skylight which I don't like anyway. They can be had now for well under $50,000 out the door. But then I wasn't waiting for a Raptor....mines in the garage and just finished paying it off!!! It's ALL MINE now!!

I got the TT3.5 and in certain power bands does haul ass. Still like the V8 sound!



I found quite a few 16 Lariats, with most options in the mid $40,000 range after Ford rebates. Usually $10-12,000 below sticker. These were short box crew cab. Scabs ran $1-2,000 less. I was looking at one Crew cab Lariat with the 2.7 for $42,000.

Nice fleet you got there. Crazy how much nicer the fit and finish is on the Lariat compared to the past gen f1's.

I'm about to grab a 5.0L F150 to build. The rebates are pretty solid right now for the XLT's ($5,500 with the Black Friday cash). Lariats are only getting around $3,500 in rebates. I've got a loaded FX4 XLT lined up but just need to decide by Wednesday because that's when $2K worth of rebates go away.

So wait for the unicorn 3.5 raptor or build a bad ass v8 f150 to my specs. Heavily leaning towards the Fjuan at this point.

The one I ended up getting is an FX4, heavy tow package, 3.5TT, leather with the bucket seat option, navigation. Between the FX4 and heavy towing options it really handles nice.

And yes, the fit and finish detail is very nice!!

I was arguing with myself over a few different options:

- '17 Raptor
- '17 F250
- '17 Camaro ZL1
- '17 Charger Hellcat
- '17 Cadillac ATS-V
- '17 Corvette Grand Sport

I think that's all of them...



All my friends say the same thing - how does a pickup compare to all those fast cars? It's a raptor!!!

I bought a 17 F450 Platinum Wednesday in case my Raptor doesn't come before the end of the year. Needed the 179 tax deduction...c4061e6a454c2936a33afcecc1a95af8.jpg. Already put her to work buying a rolling ladder for my Garagemahal...

Thanks not trying to be an ass, but it kills me that I work 70-80 hours a week and someone thinks that because I said the customers always right I don't know anything about business. I'm 46 years old, started my first company at 22 and have been pretty damn successful doing what I do and how I do it.

My moto is work hard and play harder!!!
