Well, day one is under our belts. We're getting ready to go get some breakfast and head out for another day of flogging. This truck is AMAZING!! The suspension is second to none and I did not lack for power at all with my 5.4 engine. I DID have re-figure the nanny controls when traction control prevented me from making my first two hill climb attempts, though. This truck is definitely "Built Ford Tough." This jump was the result of a speedy uphill climb. My wife NAILED this picture at just the right time! Don't know if she could have timed it any better. It almost didn't seem like I was jumping. The take off was smooth and the landing wasn't as hard as I expected it to be. The only reason I knew I flew (ha) was all the stuff in the cab went UP and then went DOWN. My change in the council was all over after this one. Soooooooo Fun!!!! Saw two other Raptors up there: a blue 5.4 and an orange 6.2. Both members of the "other" forum. I did give them an invite here but warned them of the consequences.

GREAT pic John! I hope you're submitting that one to the photo contest! If you win you can share the prize with your wife.

Glad you're having such a great time with your Raptor. Now we need all the other Raptor owners who haven't yet been offroad to take theirs out and experience this.
