So what did you guys trade is to get your raptor? I got rid of my truck that I put 5 years worth of blood sweat and beers into, made 648hp at the wheels and flatlined the dyno on torque at over 1200. I'm missing it already but im still waiting on my raptor.
did you ever run it in the 1/4? diesels can be stupid nasty.
I didn't trade in anything, but I did sell my street truck that I daily drove so the funds could pay the down payment on the raptor, which will be my new daily driver.
2000 HD F-150 #1552. I bought it in June 2009 with 898 miles on the clock from a car collectors bubble in CT for $18k. Nearly half price for a BRAND NEW 9 year old truck. I drove it for a little over 2 years, supercharged it, made it identical twins exterior wise to my 700 hp 00 HD truck, put 25k miles on it, towed my matching race truck with it, then sold it in October for $14k and sold the mods for $6k. So I only lost $4k on the truck, or anotherwords it cost me $142 a month to own it. Can't beat that! I actually think I made money on the mods too, many were leftover parts from my race truck, used parts, or killer deals.
In the pics the one I sold is the one with the "D.JEKL" tags. "M.HYDE" is my race truck (still streetable but I rarely ever drive it, mostly race it). I will miss my Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde theme, but the novelty of two identical trucks wore off pretty fast. No regrets and it was badazz while I had them both, but the fun wore off quick when I was only driving the street truck. I'd
rather be driving the race truck all the time. Or I would bring the race truck out and not as many people would notice since its nearly identical looks wise to my street one lol. So the Raptor will give me something totally different, I still have a HD truck in my garage, and the Raptor is more capable for towing, and more roomy for DD use.
