It'd be nice if it has the same livery as your track car ... (i.e same color scheme and same stickers)?

Hey man, if you need a good site for the 6.7 powerstroke, check out http://powerstrokearmy.com/forums/index.php I go by the same name over there.
I voted option #2, as i love that color, i'd just do color matched bumpers, and grill, and have the headlight insides painted black like the harley headlights of previous generation ford superdutys. Any diesel truck related questions feel free to ask, I've been around the performance diesel scene since like 2004. LOL Headlights like these with stuff smoked to match, like mirror lenses, cab lights, taillights, etc...

How about a Maruader
But speaking realistically. I know the Raptor isn't built for towing, but I love that truck

What are you towing?
Diesel is really overkill for anything other than an enclosed trailer. If the only thing you are using the truck for is towing then really 2wd is the preferred choice. If you'll need the 4wd in some situations though then by all means go for it. Last, I highly recommend an 8ft bed. If you need a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch at some point in the future you'll be kicking yourself for not getting it. Also, it’s always nice to have an extra 2 ft of storage area. The 8ft bed also tows better as the wheelbase is longer and if you're towing a big trailer this will help. Last, you'll never notice the difference driving around between the 6 and 8ft bed. Parking lots are the only place you'll ever even think about it and if its a tow rig you won't be going to the mall in it anyway. Both good looking trucks! |

I've seen a few Raptor's towing 24ft enclosed trailers. With the Hurricane motor I bet they tow pretty well. I automatically hate the owners of said truck and trailer based soley on blinding jealousy |

Well you cant go wrong with a Ford. My 302 Merc Mountaineer is going strong at 12 years old and 160K miles.
I recently moved to a new place about 40 miles away and my truck made constant trips back and forth for about a week with a trailer. |

nice truck - never seen any of them on the streets actually but if i were to buy a pick up - i would get a raptor - then i think it would be the only raptor in the whole country my dad who is into pick up trucks said: better buy that ford pick up that can jump - instead of some useless small bmw...
