I also did tons of research. I have had three black Dodge Ram Sports in a row. I like the lack of chrome and the kind of "evil" "Darth Vader" quality of them. Then I saw the Raptor on the American version of Top Gear...I was hooked...once I read more on the Raptor, there was really no other choice. My build date was yesterday...to say I am anxious would be an understatement.
