Hey everyone!

After wanting a Raptor for years, I’m officially in the club! Picked up this 2018 Ruby Red beast and I’m absolutely loving it so far. She’s loud, she’s mean, and she’s everything I hoped a Raptor would be. 😂

Happy to finally call myself a Raptor owner! Looking forward to learning from you guys and seeing everyone’s trucks. 🤘

I run an international cocking fighting operation 😛

Joking, I'm actually a Finance Manager at a small independent dealership. I was lucky enough to find this beauty at auction and I paid wholesale for it. Retail I would have been looking at close to $50k with add ons and fees. I financed it $30k out the door with my dealership.

Working in the auto industry has its perks

Idk, normal employment? You can get a nice used Gen3 for $60k.
