Top three things????

[Aaron]

For me I think it's 1) the surprising performance off road and blasting over whoops at 70mph 2) How comfortable it is for long road trips, both ride and interior 3) Just the look of the thing when it's parked. Every time I walk up to it I think to myself "Damn...that's actually mine!" and smile a bit

Lessee, after about 24 hrs of ownership I'd say...

1) The wheels look better than I thought they would. I actually like them quite a bit and didn't think I would from the pictures.

2) The engine. I hadn't driven one before ordering and my FX4 had the 5.4 in it. The 6.2 sounds fantastic (reminds me of my '06 corvette when starting up) and preforms great. Having a truck that leaps forward when you stomp on it is really frickin' cool.

3) The overall look is just badass. I smile everytime I look at it. I had crawled around a 2011 at a dealership before ordering but it had been awhile and this one is MINE (so it looks just that much better).

4) I know you just asked for 3, but I'm also pleasantly suprised by the ride. A little softer than my FX4 w/bilsteins but also smoother and lot quiter (of course that was with Goodyear Duratracs but I'll keep the stockers till they wear out).

The comfortable seats. With my injuries the seats make it comfortable to sit for longer rides.

Nav system ease of use compared to my wife's 12 Explorer. The Microsoft system in the explorer has a hell of a lot of features but is full of glitches and complicated. The Raptors Sony system is very fast and easy to use. It may have a few less features but has everything I need or want.

Performance, for a stock truck it has good power.

1. Suspension. It makes potholes and speed bumps seem like nothing.

2. Bluetooth. I've always wanted this feature in my car. My brother and father both have this in theirs and I was always jealous.

3. Navigation. Same reasons as #2.

well I will post the 3 things I'm most excited for checking out when I get mine, and I'll go back and quote this and update it once I do get it if I was right or if something else surprised me.

1.) Gizmos and Gadgets: I'm an engineer so I'm always a sucker for gizmos and gadgets, and the productivity screen and front/rear cameras and navigation and dual zone climate and all that jazz has me pretty excited. I've only ever owned trucks with analog controls, not even digital controls, so I'm pretty excited to play with all the stuff

2.) Ride: After DD-'ing my '85 F-150 again the past few months, that 27 year old suspension isn't uncomfortable, but it's not a relaxing comfortable ride either. And prior to that my DD were my two HD trucks. Both lowered, low profile tires, always gotta watch out for potholes and steep driveways. I can't wait to take the Raptor on an hour + drive and see how it feels on the highway, then just around town not having to worry with such a tall tire, high stance, and long suspension travel compared to my past trucks.

3.) Zippyness: This one I'm more concerned about than excited. It's going to take a lot to impress me in this department coming from three previous supercharged 5.4 trucks. I'm not expecting it to hold a candle to my 700 rwhp HD truck, but compared to my second 00 HD street truck I had. I hope it's comparable around town to how that truck felt. That truck made 372/450 on the dyno and ran 13.5 in the 1/4. I know the Raptor is slower, but as long as it's faster than when my second 00 HD was N/A and making 220 rwhp and running 16.2's I'll be happy lol. Which is should. I'm just curious how it will feel once I'm behind the wheel for myself.
