Hi Braintanner from northern mi checking in! Was wondering if any of you all surprised your partner with the acquisition of a new or new to them Ford Raptor? And then have them totally despise it??? It's been 12 days since I bought mine and my sweetheart hasn't looked in the window, let alone gone for a ride! Whew! I was starting to feel a little hurt, but then I suddenly had the realization that this could actually be a good thing! dang? This could only be an plus!! I bought it for myself and it's ALL MINE! What if just the opposite had happened Good to meet you all.

Nice ride. I'm down in Toledo. Snoball is headed your way. Check out Great Lakes Raptor Excursions on here and the Web for details. Welcome. By the way my wife loves our Raptor. You lucked out.

Thx got lucky there but I was so happy to see the blue detail. Drove 100 mi south to see it and didn't realize until I climbs in what color it was. I've seen a few I haven't liked and it was actually one of my deciding factors. I didn't look at the motor, check the oil climb under it anything. 5 mi ride. It was the second one I'd driven but been years since the first. It had 80k on it but the tires had been replaced including the shocks. 4K worth of shocks yikes. It was a one (dr.)owner and he paid great attention to baby it! Carpet lined box? Never in my life have I seen carpeting in a truck box before. A good sign!

Snoball is an event they put on every year that goes up into the UP for snow wheeling. It's kind of a big event for many people as they come from all over the country to participate. @Kanakry can provide additional info but he is probably super busy right now as the event is nigh! Check out the Web site though. Really lucked out on the shocks. Let me know when you are in need of a rebuild. I've done mine and am aware of some great resources on here and know what you need if you decide to do them yourself. Also check out Texas Raptor Runs or TRR for info about additional raptor events out in Texas. My wife and I leave Friday to go out there to Raptor X. Events are a great way to get in contact with other owners, see the capabilities of these trucks in action, and get ideas for mods.
