My name is Nate and I can still remember the first time I saw a video online back in 2009 of the upcoming Ford F-150 SVT Raptor in the Baja 1000 in Mexico. I was SO turned on and started drooling. Today I still don't own one but I am hoping to change that within the next year. I went and test drove a 2013 loaded a couple days ago and its increased my lust for the Raptor. I am not going to get the one I test drove for a few reasons but I am determined to find the right truck for me.

Please wish me luck in my search. Thanks for having me in the group.

Good luck on your search. I recently realized the dream too, after several years, and many other cars, I quit dancing around it and finally went for it. It’s as good as you imagine, and worth the wait.

And the folks around here are super cool, and very helpful.

I assume you are looking for first gen? Keep your eyes open. There are periodically some decent trucks posted in the classified section.

Welcome and good luck. Over a year ago I was in the same situation and finally found one.
Trust me, it's worth the wait. The only problem will be getting that stupid grin off your face...LOL!

Maybe 911Crazy will take a hint.

Welcome. I just took the plunge too. I was planning on getting the HD version F150 when they started back making them as I had a 2008 Harley Edition with Supercharger but went for the Raptor instead. Glad I did Great Truck

I was right there with you Nate and finally made it happen 3 weeks ago with a 2013. Hopefully the opportunity happens when you're least expecting with a deal you can't refuse like it did for me. Now I'm looking four excuses to go places just to drive it. I've never been so excited to go shopping with my wife...as long as we take the raptor, haha
