Picking up my Raptor on Friday

[Hemmy]

more!

Congrats, beautiful truck! I really like the AMB. I definitely have a little menu envy with that color. Let me know how you like the Retrax. I think that is what I am going to order.
I think the stock rims actually look a lot better in person than they do in any picture. Pictures also don't do the size of the truck any justice. This truck has a great, bulky stance to it in person.

Strange that the designers would not have carried through the same finish/material onto the sliding cover as they have on the glove box and door panels??? What is it with the American car guys and lack of attention to detail?

P.S., have you cracked a cold one using the bottle opener tailgate survival tool, yet???

Next on my list, as soon as I finish this conference call marathon.

Do you have to go back to work today, or are you able to take her around town and show her what daddy working with? The truck i mean, not your wife lol

Not only am I working, I have calls back to back until 5pm. I am ending each one 5 minutes early so I can sneak outside and look at my truck though.

My daughter missed the school bus today. I have a sneaking suspicion that it was intentional so that she could get a ride in the Raptor. I got home with the truck after she went to bed last night. Had to do all the paperwork, then take my wife to an expensive Mexican food dinner for letting me buy this truck, lol.

Dude, I have been obsessed with watching Raptor videos, talking on this forum, looking at all the pics. The sheer size of this thing blew me away when I walked up to it. It seems twice as big when you climb into the driver seat. This is my first Raptor and I am wondering how long it will take to get over the feeling that the truck is hanging over both sides of the lane on the highway.

about 10 minutes…

Awesome truck!! I have the exact same truck on order. Should be built (fingers crossed) on 10/2. Thanks for the pictures also!

First time I got out of the truck and stepped off the running board onto the ground I thought, $ H ! T that was a big drop. Maybe just different than my the drop from my Yukon running boards and more than I was used to. What are your thoughts on the wheels now that you see them in person?

HA! I feel you man, I have been putting out fires at work all week. No rest for the wicked. But seriously congrats, I am getting all excited over here for you. I am planning on taking a vaca day or calling in sick once the time comes. Wife want's to have someone drive us to the dealer so she can come with on the initial drive
