    So... What do you think about the new Raptor?

    LoL! I also own a 2015 Ford Transit HD, but I chose a Powerstroke diesel over the EB even though the EB was way more fun to drive! I chose the Powerstroke for the mpg and because they only offered the PS in dually when I bought mine. I haul a lot of weight in the van and I still get 19mpg in...

    So... What do you think about the new Raptor?

    I went the other way on this. I test drove 3 Raptors and have been looking at them since 2012. I was waiting to sell off my Super Duty then I was supposed to be in a Raptor. I really got serious around May-June of this year and looked at 5-6 and test drove 3 of them, the ones with the lower...

    Raptor business vehicle?

    Agreed. A great looking, professional truck is always good for business image Imo. I just think that the Raptor is the very best looking truck out there as well as equipped great from the factory. That plus I really want one!

    Raptor business vehicle?

    I own a floor, carpet, and window cleaning business. I have always driven nice trucks/vehicles and feel that it has helped grow my business. Whenever I go on a measure, follow up, or take supplies to the guys, I like taking my truck (which is a f250 SD now) as I feel it makes a good impression?

    Raptor business vehicle?

    Are you asking (OP) me? Not worried at all, just prefer not advertise or letter any of my vehicles. I'm 100% word of mouth and like it this way. When I did have wrapped/lettered vans, it seemed like all I was doing was free estimates? However, I think a nice clean sticker (web address) on...

    Thanks car stereo guy, yes I'm I'm Salinas. $10k dealer markup is just nuts! I'm gonna try and make it over to Morgan Hill this weekend to take a look.

    Raptor business vehicle?

    Thanks guys, this is exactly what I was looking for. Not going to fully wrap it, just more of a nice lettering when doing estimates, etc...

    Raptor business vehicle?

    Anyone out there use their Raptor as a business vehicle? Lettered, wrapped, etc....? I own a business and think this would be an awesome vehicle to generate new business!!! If possible, could you post some pics? Thanks

    Just went down yesterday and checked a fully optioned screw for $59k + $10k dealer markup? LoL. I'm in NorCal and it looks like I will be going to Morgan Hill Ford or heading down south.

    Thanks for info guys. Being that I'm waiting to get one (have bigger fish to fry right now), I will be sure and check out all the dealerships and/or brokers in my area. I'll continue to ask questions and learn as much as possible in the mean time....

    Thanks for the info guys. Morgan Hill is about 30-40 min north of me, so I will go talk to them this weekend.

    Thanks. I thought I was wrong? I have bought 3 super dutys, super crew f150, lightning, cobra, 2 rangers, and a e250 van from this dealership and have good credit and they still wouldn't budge on the markup? If they did, the "Rapteezy" would be in my driveway right now lol. Looks like I'll...

    Just got back from the dealership. They wanted $10k over msrp? Is that the normal rate? Crazy!!! $69k total? Anyway, that $10k dealer markup decided for me to wait til my target time of spring/summer lol. Looks like I'll be going elsewhere....

    Hey guys, been a Ford guy my whole life. Been lurking for a while... I currently have a 05' F250 with a 6.0L diesel in it. I'm looking at buying a Raptor in the beginning/middle of 14' and having a blast!
