Just a few particularly relevant (for me) quotes from an earlier post (and I can't disagree with most of the other comments in this thread!). I had a 2002 FX4 Lariat (5.4). Perfectly fine truck and, prior to 2011 (when I "discovered" the Raptor on the dealer's lot while waiting for service on my '02), I saw nothing in the way of F-150's that made me want to trade. Did my due diligence on the Raptor.......even though I "probably" won't ever use all of it's abilities, if I were to design the truck I've always wanted (for a stock vehicle, that is), the Raptor is as close as I could ever come. What I could not believe is that I could buy a Raptor for essentially the same price as for a 2011 equivalent of my 2002 = no brainer.
Couldn't be happier than I am with my 2011 blk sCab....and can' t imagine Ford coming up with something that I would ever want to trade for, but I'll give them the benefit if the doubt (after all, they did design the Raptor).
