Timidly Stepping Into The Arena

[BearLeeAsian]

While the Ruby SE might not look good on paper- it looks decent (especially for a Raptor) in person!

morning.........


the only difference between the two years is minimal. color options, a light in the center console.......

There's a light in the center console? You mean inside the console? What year '13 or '14?

I guess I need to look at my truck more thoroughly

I did not have the SE package on my original order but ended up adding it during the long wait based on the differences in the interior finishes. The dash plastic is darker and there is no shiny chrome. When I first saw the interior of a 2013 I thought it look cheap. The SE interior looks a little less so. Check out the side-by-side pics in this thread. If I ordered again, the SE would be the first option.

I too agree with the full load options. IF.... this is the last of line, might as well go top O line. My Tux Black full load SE is the most envied ride on all my drilling locations and it has converted a half dozen of my peers to Raptors after one ride into the local towns for meals and back to rig. I don't regret paying a little more now rather then regretting deficiencies later. On my current location I have a directional driller, company, man and myself ridin Raptors. "REPRESENTIN" Kinda cool. GO LARGE brother GO LARGE!. A few days "day rate" is worth the leap..

LOL!! I'll be searching when I get back to the States....

Thanks for all the comments y'all.....I've been persuaded to go for a 2014 SE....not sure if I want the black or the red now.....I'd wanted the blue one initially, but getting the SE package with the upgraded interior sounds sweet.

And I was going to delete the bed extender, but I hadn't thought about using it to keep stuff from sliding around....LOVE that!

I've seen both the Ruby Red and the Tux Black with the SE interior and I think it looks best with the black. The Ruby Red is a sharp color but the brick red leather on the seats really stands out against the black exterior.

"FEEL THE FORCE" SS Shooter! "JOIN THE DARKSIDE"

I'm working on it....found a dealeer in GA with a black SE that looks like I can pick it up at the sticker price.....if we can work a deal while I'm out of the country.....

I assume that paying sticker is acceptable currently, or should I try and push it down? I don't want to throw a number and the next guy is waiting in the wings with cash at sticker......

Thoughts?

It seems paying sticker is definitely acceptable especially since it's a Raptor that's already on the lot. All the dealers local to me wanted 5-10k over MSRP for what was on their lot because that's all they had left and no more allocation. I did find one dealer that would do $500 off MSRP but that was it. Seems like sticker is a decent price without ordering and this late in the year.
