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.

You'll be used to it in a couple of weeks. Until you hit your first construction zone with the K barriers on both sides, then you'll think you're going to rub both sides.

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

You are going to freaking love it.

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?

They are amazing! I was having buyer's remorse, looking at those 37 beadlocks. Now that I have this in my driveway, I know I made the right call. I still may swap them out for something aftermarket though, so we will see.

Lol, second turn out of the dealership was a highway on-ramp with construction on both sides with concrete barriers. I swore I was going to leave paint.

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

I am so personally invested the 9/27 crew that I don't feel that I have crossed the finish line until you are all in new Raptors, lol.

FYI, closed at MSRP, they even helped me on my trade-in. I know there are a lot of people worrying about their dealerships coming through at MSRP. Mine was one of the good ones.
