LOVE the hood. Like someone else asked, what's the difference between this and your first raptor? And how does your dealer/wife feel about you going throug cars like most people go through underwear lol. 60 day return policy?

Some of us still wanted a sporty coupe which Acura no longer has. Some of us wanted a rwd sports car, non-existent. How about a rwd sedan? Yeah you get the drift.
While Acura makes some great crossovers the rest of their line up is lackluster to say the least.
Most of us on here now own cars that fit our needs/wants which Acura or even Honda for that matter is unable to provide.
Back OT congrats in the Raptor!

thanks a lot guys
Im not a fan of the new designs from acura, most of them. I do own a 04 TL which has been giving me a lot of trouble lately. about to get rid of it and get something newer. My dad drives that car. Im thinking about replacing it with either the new fusion or optima.
there is a lot more to pick from once you step out of the honda/acura world.
But hondas will always be in my family. at one point we had 5 accords.
We have 2 accords now and 1 TL. they're still really good reliable cars.
the main difference is the mileage. the other one was alraedy at 32k, plus it needed a lot of work after all the abuse. If i was married, things might have been different
. But its always a different dealer, depends on who has what im looking for. I dont loose much when i trade. Its a hassle, but i get to drive new cars and i pay fraction of what every one else pays so its worth it. I actually lose money on the mods/upgrade. but its normally bearable

Nice and believe you should stay with this one for awhile. Not too much better than a Raptor in that category.

Thanks again!.
some day...
I actually liked the silverado a lot. extremely impressive updates on it. I really didnt have much to complain about and im the pickiest of every one i know.
if they make an offroading edition like a raptor, i would definitely buy it.
I would pick it over a regular F150. But keep in mind the f150 is already about 5-6 years old.
by the end of next year when they come out with teh new f150, it will be a better comparison.

That is one beautiful truck! What do you mean by this "I dont loose much when i trade. Its a hassle, but i get to drive new cars and i pay fraction of what every one else pays so its worth it"? You work for ford or something?

To the OP, congrats on a great truck! Are dealers offering much off MSRP for these things? I read last week that Ford couldn't keep up with demand and increased production by almost 40%? If that's true, it must be an amazing truck. If the gas mileage wasn't so bad, I'd consider one. Owned an '02 Lightning and I could literally see the fuel gauge move down to 'E'.
