Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Sales Up 35 Percent - PickupTrucks.com News

They expect to sell 15,000 2012 Raptors, and may have to make four an hour to keep up with demand.

Too damn cool. This is good news in more than one way.

Yeah I just read that.

This will bring aftermarket parts prices down and choices up.

I'd rather it be more exclusive to own than any of that tho.

Higher than expected sales should mean a longer life for the Raptor which is good news too.

Now if only we knew their production plans for this truck...

I dont really understand the "want to be exclusive" argument. The Raptor fits a very real need for people who need off-road driveability as a daily obstacle. The fact that the Raptor is my favorite vehicle I have ever owned and drive it daily is a testament to its design and range of practical application. Its not just a stock trophy truck.

I guess I should clarify that I understand the desire for exclusive ownership. Everyone on the Shelby forum wants to have a one off Shelby and pay 55k for that privilege as well. If you buy a vehicle that costs under 250k, I dont think you really should have any expectation of exclusivity.

I here ya Dubbs but I have to agree with Filthy a lil... I really dont want to see every jo schmo out there driving one.
