Ranger Raptor, X5
Thought I would share how I discovered the Ranger Raptor and my purchase. Ford was promoting the New York Auto show and had a Ranger Raptor on Live with Kelly and Mark. I typically don't watch this show but my wife had it on, and I happened to catch the segment with the RR. That's how I discovered the RR.
There was a Ford representative on the show that gave the specs for the vehicle, which had me very interested. At the time I was waiting for the Tacoma TRD Pro to be released, but there were several delays to the launch.
The problem was actually seeing a RR in person, and actually finding one available for sale. After weeks of looking without any luck, even compromising on color and options, nothing was available, without a significant mark up. Turns out a parent on my sons Crew team worked at a Ford dealership. I gave her my specs and she started looking. I was informed back in September they ordered the exact truck I wanted, color and options. My only wants were the spray in bed liner and door keypad. The truck was set to go into production when it was tagged for me. About 3-4 weeks later it arrived at the dealer and I was there the next day to pick it up. It worked out perfect. I was able to sell the X5 as no Ford dealer was interested to take it in on trade. So glad to have this over the Taco.

I'm sure Jon is indeed enjoying the Ranger! It sounds like it was meant to be, the way all the pieces came together to get him that truck. Wishing many years of happy driving in the Ranger Raptor!
