A video of my new Raptor

So wanted to switch it up a little a show a video. Hope it works and sorry about rambling on. Original order date 9/12/16 from a MN dealer - waited until 12/28/16 and no VIN or build date so I lost patience and cancelled my MSRP order. Located the same vehicle I wanted in Iowa and still got MSRP. Build date was 1/4, delivered to dealer on 2/1. I picked it up on 2/2. I got lucky.

Truck looks great, and I like the CF and orange together. Congrats on finding a MSRP deal with Carbon. Hard to get. Next time hold that phone sideways though.

Ha ha! Will do. Once i get the detailing and paint protection i will take a glamour shot wide screen edition.

Congratulations on a great deal and a beautiful truck. Sounds like you need your coffee first. lol
Just want to point out that may be Platinum did not have that much room in a Screw, thats not the case with both GENs 1&2 Raptors.
I saw the car seats in the back, looks like a twin situation to me. I am sure you already have a rule of "NO EATING or DRINKING" in dads new truck. lol
PS> I call my wires X5 a rolling trash can. (twins boys 13yo)

Me 2. It person looks even better given all the orange stiching.

Awesome!
It’s well know, the black Raptors are faster.

Very much like mine. I don’t have the c/f or orange, or hood graphics, but I have the forged wheels.

great stuff.

Yeah, i have a wicked headcold..and filmed the video at like 1100 PM. My wife has a 2016 XC90 that is supposed to be the "kid hauler" and she treats that like a moving garbage can. Its painful to see it happen to such nice vehicles but I do my best to clean her vehicle as well. I got the hand me down 2012 X3 M-Sport that was the old kid hauler and was able to salvage/save it from her. That's now my downtown car so i don't have parking ramp anxiety or any of that crap to worry about. Its funny you mention the food. I stopped for a soda driving the raptor home when i bought it and my dad had came along for the ride. We were in the store and he reached for a Rice Krispy bar and i told him NO! The store clerk laughed.

I used to have an 85 full size. 300 straight 6. Granny low 4 spd manual tranny. Put that in 4 LOW, first gear and it turned into a billy goat. Came with an AM radio, manual locks and windows. Red vinyl seats. Truck was a charcoal color. Hell, it also had the high beam switch on the floor..some people may not even remember that! Ha ha. Engine ticked like a timex but that truck was indestructible and so easy to work on everything yourself. I traded it off on my first brand new ford F150 back in 97 and am still pissed to this day that I got rid of it (sold it with 166K miles on it). I could have done an engine swap and really turned it into a restored "classic". Especially now that the new Broncos are going to be making a comeback...

Great looking truck. Thanks for sharing the video.

Since two car garages have a standard width. Any concerns parking with the other vehicle in there also?
