2010 Raptor and 2010 f150 impressions

So ran up to the dealership down the street tonight to look at the Raptor and 2010 f150, first things first both trucks where left open lol I could not believe this but anyways the Raptor was not that great the truck seems to be missing alot of things that could have finished it up, the taillight and head lights are not as great as I hoped for they are a step up from factory but nothing worth buying. Rims and tire combo is very nice along with the third brake light which is different. The interior was very sporty and sleek def. would love to have those seats in any car. The overall setup up is nice but it just seems to lack that wow apeal that previous SVT models have had. I will be the first to admit I loved it on paper but not so much in person the engine was just your standard 5.4 with different pipes out the *** big up set. Now the 2010 f150 was a lariat sporting tux. black (supercrew), nothing new on the inside. The outside besides the tux. black there is a new chrome grill with no black plastic inserts but in stead chrome wire which form little X's, brakes are different and the step bar on the side is new and it is def. horrible it looks like a god damn tree trunk lol no joke. Anyways I still love these trucks and they are tuff to beat but for any of you who havent seen them yet I though this little write up would help give you an idea. I may run back tmrw and snap some pics, if so I will def. post for you guys to see.

P.S. I did lock both trucks and also informed security I would hate to see some jackass rip the seats out of these trucks and sell them if not some punk teen go in there and dump on them.

PSw/D - entire window or baby window still?

If ya get the chance, I know some people were curious if the power slider w/defrost was the little window like now but just with defrost, or if the entire back window slid up & down w/defrost. How did the 3rd brake light, and the clearance lights in the grille, look?

At least we know the raptor has Upfitter Switches standard. Will be curious to hear how much less brake dust will be had with upgraded brakes, it's still rather a lot on the 2009's.

It's hard to keep black wheels clean with all the brake dust the 09 spews onto it!

I see a couple on the way back from SC in a dealership and to be honest there's sod all difference cosmetically compared to the 09's. So for the people who was deciding to wait for a 10 or get a 09 and went for the 09 ain't lost out on anything. I didn't expect them to change much as the trucks almost perfect as it is.

maybe cause most people would peel them off just like they do with stx, 4x4, and fx4 stickers

to the op the headlights look good, but the taillights i like the nightshaded ones i've seen on here

and on the raptor what are those little white circles under the taillights ?

the little lights are clearance lights since the Raptor is wider than the regular 150's. They have the lights on the front also.
