Although you can't really tell it in these pictures this is a Silver Raptor on the lot at Don Hinds in Fishers, IN. We swung through on the way to the RV show this week end and it had just come in and has not even been cleaned up yet. I actually was asked to pick out the colors and options etc. on this one (I think they think I would buy it then....and I wish I could). They put it together exactly as I want except they opted for the stickers which I don't like if it was for me.

It was cool to see and though i can't decide if I like the really big cab or not yet it is a must if i was to buy one of these with the dogs, kids, and wife in mind. If I was to get rid of any 1 of the above I may be able to do the smaller cab :) It was at just under $54K on the sticker. and is a nice looking ride....I came home that night after looking at RV"s and watched the DVR'd Top Gear with the Raptor :)

Sometimes I wish I would have waited for the 2011 because I like the silver with the graphics. But I still enjoy mine.

So it came right from the Factory with the Hood decal?

I thought that was a dealer Mod...

Silver looks great! IMO

As far as I could tell and know it was ordered with the stickers "Graphics package" and ships that way. I don't know very far though so anything is possible. I f I was to buy it they would have to pull them off and remove the cost for them, but I ger Granite counter tops on Thursday instead :( woopee.

If it's what you want, go for it.

I know a bunch of people that have one of those over-sized, indoor, jet tubs. From what I hear, they almost never get used...

In Families with kids, the only Baths being taken, are by the kids! LOL

Adults take showers, that all you have the time for.

We have a huge tub in our Master En-suite, it's never used.

I know the 4 dr is more practical and can tow more but it makes the Raptor 12" longer....too big IMO ..

BTW T still have not been able to test drive one yet or even seen one at a dealer....:banghead: Oh and silver is probably the color I would go with if I was to get one...the hood graphics are a seperate option as well as the side mud graphics also being a seperate option on the 2011's

I thought it's the same length as any other Crew F Series except it's wider?

It is the same length as the other F-150 crew. George is saying that it is 12" longer than the regular super-cab like mine.

He can also wait until SF and drive each of ours. That way he can get a good idea of each one is like for comparison.

:wow2: that is a great incentive Jeff maybe in the spring when the weather breaks if I haven't seen one locally by then. I think you are about 3-1/2 hr drive from me.......not too bad. Have you had it out in a snow storm yet to test out the locking differential...:grin:
