Should have got a 2010 Blue Flame 5.4. This is by far the best Raptor that you can buy. I am sure you will have buyers remorse after driving your new 2012. You can always trade it in and get a 2010.
And now you sound like The Tank... I think his is actually still sitting at a dealer someplace for sale. He sold it to go freeze himself in Antarctica for a couple months.
I went with the '12 because 1) I'm inpatient, 2) after seeing MFT on Swoop's car I was less than impressed and would prefer not to have it 3) I love Ducati headlights and have them on my to-do list for the truck. Although I will say the stock '13 HID's are better than I thought they'd be.
