Hey, I do not currently own a Raptor, however I am seriously considering buying one as soon as they come out with the crew cab model.

I currently own a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 ext cab (dont hate). I have done all the work on it to include a 7-9" Cognito lift kit with 35X12.50 BFG Mud Terrain's. I bought the truck brand new after my first deployment to Iraq in 03'. It has been a really good truck, but now that my wife and I have our first child on the way I need something with 4 doors and it still has to look bad-ass.

Enter the Raptor, it has everything I could ask for in a truck brand new. The problem I have with most new production 1/2 ton 4X4's (including my truck) is they look almost exactly like the 2WD models with the exception of maybe some badging. When I buy a 4WD I want the damn thing to look like one! I don't give a shit if it "rides like a cadi". Alright that's my intro, look forward to learning all I can about the Raptor in preparation for buying one.

Hey man, welcome. The Crew Cab models are here and many members have either taken delivery or have one on order. If you need more info speak to Randy (HARLEY6LF250SDU)

Welcome. I get what your saying, the Raptor never looked like a 2x4 to me. It's just pure badass.

Welcome! I'm one of the "impatiently waiting" people on the board. My 2011 SCREW is scheduled to be built on January 10th. I know there are a couple dealers that have some SCREW's on their lots but you're much better off dealing with Randy and getting a discount than haggling with a dealer over whatever aggressive markup they've stacked on top of MSRP. Just my 2 cents...
