Hello all, first off let me thank EVERYONE here at FRF... Just about every free moment I had prior to my purchase I was on this website doing some much needed research. I came about purchasing a raptor since my wife decided we needed a vehicle that can fit a baby seat since were expecting our first kid 7/30/15.... turns out a 2011 Screw Raptor was the perfect fit for our new family... after some tactful negotiations of course 
. So after 5 hours at a dealership I traded in my 2011 Mustang GT Premium for this bad boy. I am absolutely in love with it, compared to the 'Stang I am way more comfortable in the Raptor and the amount of fun I can have in it is ridiculous. I think I got a good deal on it, its a 2011 with 40xxx miles and we got it for $40k (after 5 hours of teeth pulling and not including the trade in value) its a ford "Certified Pre Owned" so I get 12 years 12k miles bumper to bumper and 7 years 100k miles power train. The only "negative" is that she spent most of her life on the coast... and it shows, a lot of premature surface rust under the beasts belly and some corrosion on the aluminum Fox Shocks. Nothing a little elbow grease, rustoleum, and POR 15 can't fix... i hope. Anyways looking foreword to being a part of this community and future memories to be had, I already ordered some sweet decals, soooo I guess you can say its getting pretty serious. If anyways has any information on the "Raptor Round Up" and "Lost Coast Run" it would be greatly appreciated. I would love to participate if they're having an event in 2015.
Thanks AGAIN to everyone who posts here, you guys/girls helped me out tons already.
