Possible Future Raptor Owner from LX Forums

[Deinonychus]

Hello all you fortunate guys and gals.
A friend from LX Forums (plcman) told me about this forum and I had read a few posts from Cool Vanilla (LX Forums screen name) who purchased a Raptor and seemed very pleased with The Truck.

I hope to get as much information as possible before I pull the trigger on replacing my daily driver.
I've never had a truck, but most of my truck friends say that if I ever get a truck, I'll never go back.

Maybe a Raptor is a little overkill for a daily driver, but I tend to do things in a big way or not at all.

Thanks in advance,
Terry

Welcome Terry! I'm CoolVanilla on LXF. Glad to see ya here

I think you'll find this site is the spittin image of LXF in terms of the rules, the atmosphere and community. We're a much smaller group over here, but there's a very solid core of guys and gals that love these trucks and love to share info about them. And mods too of course!

Great to have ya over here and awesome to hear you're considering a Raptor. I love mine, in case ya didn't know By all means feel free to ask any and all questions even if they seem like they seem like they've been asked a thousand times before. Like I said, I think you'll find this place very welcoming and informative.

I strongly considering pulling the trigger on a 2011 Molten Orange Raptor SuperCab with hood graphics on Monday.

I was told by the local dealer that they could still order 2011 Raptors. Is this true? I had heard that 2011 Raptor orders had been stopped.

Welcome!!! I am LadyNilla on LxForums...I haven't posted in a while, but still part of it. We are loving the Raptor, it's opened doors to different adventures. Plus it just looks bad ass. Now I just have to make sure BigJ (aka Cool Vanilla) doesn't try to get this on a dyno like all our Magnum days. lol

Thanks for the welcome.

Today I put earnest $$$$ on the purchase of a 2011 Molten Orange Raptor SuperCab with hood graphics.
I was told that I should get a vin# within the next 15 days.
I experienced a good omen on the way home from the dealer (about 5 miles), a black Raptor SuperCab blew by me. It gave me a big grin.

BTW, I seldom see any Raptors on the road here in Jacksonville (I have seen, what is probably the same black one that I have seen two times previously)
