Yeah, I consider myself really lucky. I'm paying damn near MSRP, and I have an 8 hour commute each way to get it, but I expected to with the dealer stock on some of the features. Dealers here in Denver are trying to tack on a 9k premium on top of MSRP for units without NAV or black. Punks...

I'm going to be knocking on their door come opening time Friday morning. Pictures to follow shortly after.

Hello everyone. Just stumbled upon your site literally two minutes ago. I can tell already its going to be a valuable source of info (and hopefully socializing) for me.

Very long story short: after surviving the last few years with the recession, multiple houses in different states (plus rent on an apartment), moving across country for work, spousal issues (now all worked out), etc...and catching up on all that stuff....I'm ready to buy my RAPTOR!!!

I've been drooling over this truck for months. I go to ford.com multiple times a day to build my dream Raptor. I'm whoooped.

So, I went around to getting my cash together and getting pre-approved for financing for the remaining balance and now I have finance approval letter in hand....

...but, I can't find the raptor I want.

So, I think I'm going to have to order it.

I went to a couple of dealerships and drove a Raptor CRW so I could get the feel for it.

I'm in love (coming out of a 2003 explorer XLT with a 4.6L) LOL

But, I'm starting to hear horror stories on the ordering process and follow through. I'm really sold on the black exterior (no graphics package), but multiple dealerships I've spoken to says the black pigment is sourced from Japan and is now hard to get due to limited supply. I'm also really sold on navigation, but supposedly there is a back order on Sony Navigation for the same reason (Japan tsunami).

But, the dealerships keep quoting me a time frame of 6-8 weeks for delivery (reading some of these threads makes me understand this is not realistic).

Any advice?

I'll go hit up the new member section and also read some more on user experiences.

Thanks in advance for any insight this community may have...

BTW - Some of the trucks on here look awesome. Time to start researching mods...

I posted this update in my newcomer thread, but thought I'd share here because of all the good advice and direction I got from this community:

Well that was quick and I'm happy!!!

A couple of days ago, I decided to pull the trigger on the raptor, but I wanted very specific options. Thanks to this forum, I learned very quickly that the options I wanted were no longer available and I would have to luck up with dealer stock.

Well, I lucked up. Here I am a few days later and I just took possession on my 2011 SCREW. I had to drive a day to get it and I'll have to drive a day back home tomorrow, but at least the drive will be in my new TRUCK!! And, it's across Texas, New Mexico and Colorado so I bet I can accidentally find some trails to explore on the way.

WOOHOO!!! I can officially join the ranks with you guys and go have some fun!!!
