I am enjoying my Raptor that I bought last week. It was a draw between the Chevy and this truck. It is a 2010 black SuperCab fully loaded with 40k miles for $38500 from a local Ford dealership. Honestly I didn't like the styling of the regular F150's but the look of this truck won me over. And it rides like a Cadillac minus the road bumps that transmit though to the steering wheel. It's got the 5.4L but has plenty of power for me and the mileage is a little better than the 6.2L. When I need to tow something, I will probably invest in a CAI, performance tuning, and possibly headers. I don't know what else to do to increase performance outside of major surgery (camshaft, supercharging) on this engine.
