I looked at the local white raptor with the black graphics and hood package...I never thought I would like a white vehicle this much! It has the blue accent interior...not really sure how I feel about that?

What seems to be the general feelings on those interiors?
What seems to be the popular colors? I've seen lots of black Raptors for sale, but maybe because they aren't as popular? Not enough contrast?

Thanks guys!

I have all of the confidence in the world that I would love this truck. I could see the mpg's getting old after awhile, but probably not that bad.

If you want a gas friendly vehicle buy a Prius!

This isn't about fuel economy and you know that!

Forget about that and buy the vehicle for it's capabilities, looks and resale! Period!

This is a big truck - it doesn't nor will it ever get 30+ mpg...

Why is this always an issue - damn it - it's a ******** truck with a 6.2L motor!

......Rant over.....

Good luck with your decision and I'm sure you will make the right one...

...cough...RAPTOR.....cough...

You need to get a Chevy Silveraydow. It gives infinity miles and the engine is made from tornadoes...

Sorry, this video just doesn't get old for me...

Alright folks. I went to look at a local Raptor (twice - after hours). White, Super Crew, decal package on rear and hood. Optional "bead lock" wheels (black) so I think it really pops. I never thought I'd like a white vehicle but this is sharp.

I've decided to pull the trigger and try and get one. Just trying to scrounge some cash for a decent down payment, to avoid a huge monthly payment. This is proving to be the hard part.

Couple more questions....
Extended warranty - I know everyone has an opinion and I'm used to GM's warranties. I'm assuming that I have no good reason to purchase this right off the bat? Looks like prices range a bit. The dealer is making money on the truck so I'm hoping he'll cut me a break on some of these things.


Any known issues that seem to be common with this truck? Again, a GM guy so I'm assuming this engine/trans combo has been around for awhile.

I still haven't test driven one, but I am hoping to tomorrow. Stay tuned...

No test drive yet? SMH

Be sure and check in after the test drive. I'm pretty sure you'll purchase it for asking price. It's infectious.
