So is the truck worth it? I'm probably about 2-3 months away from being able to get one and its the only SVT truck i havent owned yet. I just cant get over the asking price of the new ones, but then i see video's like this.....

The S331 cant jump like the Raptor does. A Gen2 Lightning is a cheaper alternative to the S331, which i've already been there done that.

I traded an o5 lariat for my 2011 four door raptor and I love it. If you really look at the price of new trucks the raptor begins to look like a deal. A new f150 with just the same interior options is going to cost you as much as a regular raptor. I have only taken mine off road once and let me tell you it made me feel like a superstar. We were hitting 75-80 on rutted up potholed fire roads with ease. I had perma smile for weeks. It rides smoother than any f150, and can still tow 8000 lbs, and the cabin is heads and tails ahead of any other truck. If you have the money, you wont regret it

The raptors look great! And they seem to perform too. I would like to get one in a couple years.

Maybe it's just me but I think this truck is R35 GTR of trucks. If I were in the market for a brand new truck, this would be the one I'd purchase. I think the asking price of this truck may be somewhat of a steal considering the amount of money you'd have to spend on other its competitors to attain equivalent performance.
