New from west Texas

[OvrLnd99]

Hello everyone. New guy here from west Texas. I have always wanted a Raptor, it has been the dream vehicle for so long. I currently have a reservation for a Wildtrak Bronco - which will come in sometime between now and before I die...maybe. However, looks like I might be making a change to a Raptor instead of the Bronco. My wife and I are building a house, and she told me a few weeks ago that since I am building her the house she wants and letting her do all the things she wanted - furniture etc., why don't I go ahead and start looking at getting a Raptor instead of the Bronco. So, after I woke up from passing out at that comment, I told her I loved her, then went straight to the forums. lol. So, here I am, spying, lurking, and learning all that I can so I can place my order hopefully the day after we close on the house, or soon after.

Thanks in advance to everyone that will answer my questions and I hope to learn a lot from everyone on here. And I promise to search for answers before posting a new thread and asking.

Welcome to the place. A raptor will be better suited for back and forth trips to the furniture store.

Welcome. Get out and find an allocation asap! Then build the house and remodel the house, and age and then maybe the truck will arrive. Enjoy the forum.

lol. Well she survived all the "Oh this would be great on my Jeep for the next trip" purchases with my previous two Wranglers, so hopefully she will be ok and have an idea of what is coming.

That's basically how I felt about the Bronco, so at least if/when I get the Raptor, it will be the dream vehicle, even if it is for my retirement by then...in 30-ish years. haha

Well you have time to wait then lol.

strike while the iron is hot. Maybe even slot into a Jen Too Raptor while waiting, so you can get her onboard for the upgrade when one becomes available.

Welcome! Yeah, go for the Raptor over the Bronco. Raptors are more gorgeous and fun.
