Hello!!!!!!! My name is Batman, I am from Southaven, MS and I am about to be the proud owner of a 2010 Ford F-150 Tuxedo Black Raptor. She has everything on here you can order, except for Sunroof (sort-of wish I had), tailgate step, and tailgate extender. I am so excited to FINALLY be bringing her home. I have hit some snags since she came in, but finally got my stuff together. She has been sitting there waiting on me since Tuesday (June 29th). Here is my story...............

I have been watching the net on this AWESOME F-150 SVT Raptor since before it was unveiled. When I saw the first black 5.4 Raptor at my dealer, I told the Sales Manager, which is a close friend, I want one. He told me to wait for the 6.2L.

Well end of last year we were suspose to be able to order my Raptor in January/Febuary, well Ford kept pushing back and pushing back (I would say due to the economy and also getting the 6.2s for the F-250). It was finally accepted in May. The production for my Raptor was suspose to start June 7.

Well my Friend (sales manager) called me this Tuesday morning (June 29) and said hey, your truck is here on the hauler. I said WHAT!!!!!! It was not suspose to go into production till the 7th of this month, how is it here. He said well you got one with no graphics and black with no sun roof, right? I said yes, he said it is here. COOL!!!!!!!! I have been excited all day!!!!!!!

I went up there Tuesday afternoon (June 29) and test drove it and started to fill out paper work. This is my 2nd 6.2 to test drive. I am trading in a 2007 Ford F-150 Fx2 Sport with 22,000 miles.

I will hopefully have pics to post soon!!!!!! I am ready for the awesome ride!!!!!
