Ford Raptor Pickup | The De Tomaso Forums

Thought I get your opinion...

My Son is thinking about a new or maybe used Ford pickup in the next few months. Today he said he was thinking about the Ford Raptor! Not sure about 2/4 door? He uses his truck for work and has to go off the beatin path from time to time.

So...anybody have one, Maybe give a little insite about the raptor Pickup? Lets hear your comments.

I am seriously considering one to replace my aging F250.

I like the new 2011 crew cab, but would probably go for a used 2010, they have the reverse rear doors anyway so not really a true 2 door. Mine would have to be Molten orange with the orange accent interior.

I watched a show on Speed about development of the Raptor and it is a proven off road truck that looks every bit the part IMO.

I saw one here in a parking lot and talked to the owner. He says that he loves the truck. Rides like a luxury car on the road and handles the off road well. The truck was beautiful, it would be my choice.

The Border Patrol seems to like them. Can't be beat for high speed off road.
