Picked up the Raptor, finally

[delt530]

So I haven't posted this for a few days because I have been to busy driving this glorious beast and playing with the bells and whistles. Wow, I am happy with the outcome of this 3 month wait. Man Oh Man, this is awesome. Well worth the wait. I have since ordered the weathertech mats for the supercrew, haven't arrived. I will post pictures of that on the appropriate thread. I plan on taking a video of the screen in the instrument panel and do a walk-through of the whole truck since I know how much it helped me get me through the 3 month wait. For those of you waiting...trust me the first time you lay eyes on it in person and start the engine you can't even put words to it. I drove around town for days (only been 4)...and still do with a HUGE Grin from Ear to Ear.

I am most impressed with the space. It has huge leg room even for me at 6ft 2, i don't even put the seat all the way back. The back seat is huge. I love the flat floor in the back, and really notice it after i had a supercab on my 06 Ford.

Love the NAV, order the NAV!!!! You will not regret it. Iis really the center of the interior.

Congrats Delt530, I will live vicariously through you until mine comes in around May! I'm glad you like it so much!

I know what you mean about the ear to ear grin as I just picked mine up on Thursday after a four month wait.

That is awesome. Congratulations! The wait was well worth it. Have a great time with the Raptor and get ready to add some cool stuff. Recommendations:

- Check out some Rigid lights. I use them for backup/driving lights and they ROCK! I absolutely, positively recommend the "hidden dually" mod for backup lights. It's an easy installation and makes an ENORMOUS difference.

- Dont mess with the exhaust until you give it some hard thought. The stock system is pretty damn good and there are a lot of options out there. Some are super expensive. In the end, after spending money on other options, I threw them away for something that was $150. You may decide it's great as is!

- Protect the bed with either a spray on or bedrug. I have LineX and love the stuff...

Congrats again!!!

I was going nuts after a week. So much so that the dealer upsold me on a different model with more options that was already there.

I am already thinking about the dually foglights from RIGID. Thanks for the heads up, i can't wait to post more pictures up here.

The folks at ADD and Rigid are first rate. After seeing the quality of the duallys I used for the backup lights, I went with some in front. They have some really cool setups for trucks with/without license plates as well. Check out the various threads on wiring into the uplifters. It will save you a bunch of time...

Grats delt350. I recommend driving it for a few months, but always keep it in the back of your mind that you can make that exhaust roar like a banshee for a couple hundred bucks. That sound alone brings that grin to my face every day when I fire her up.
