    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    I’m one of the few that was able to get it for MSRP only because I work for an automotive group that owns a Ford store. When I placed my order back in July 2022, I told them to take care of those customers that were willing to pay an ADM first. Since they only received two allocations in 2023...

    GEN3 Ford Raptor R Owner Pics!

    We had a TRX get traded in at the dealership I work for so naturally, I needed to take it to lunch to see what it’s all about. Here is my very brief review based on what I remember. - The TRX offers more low-end torque whereas the R is more high end. - The exterior mirrors on the TRX is a...

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    That’s a great question. I haven’t seen a car come in with mechanical damage due to vapor lock but I’ll ask my Shop Foremans for their feedback.

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    Not defending the dealership but since I’m the Service Director for a Porsche store, I’ll give you some feedback. If we don’t have a fault in the DME and/or not able to duplicate the concern then the manufacturer will not pay for any repairs since we don’t show anything to support why we did...

    The truck is a riot. You have to disregard the fuel economy otherwise it’ll kill all of the fun.

    Extended Engine Cranking when starting

    I just took delivery of my 2024 R today. Noticed the extended crank as I first leave the dealership. It also happened again as I went to grab dinner for the family. I’m glad to see other people are dealing with a similar issue.

    Or you can create a relationship with a dealership. The more you buy and service your vehicles with them, the more “VIP” status you’ll become.

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    It’s starting to become real. For those that are asking about getting them at MSRP. I’m one of the few to pay MSRP only because the automotive group I work for owns a Ford store.

    Windshield cracked upper corner

    I have a crack in the same exact location. I’ve left it alone since it’s not in my line of sight nor is it going to spread.

    Is Full PPF Worth it?

    I PPF’d the entire truck And it’s saved my paint a few times during trail rides. My only gripe is with my truck being white, you’ll see the outline of the film after getting mud/dirt stuck. I’ve tried using a toothbrush to clean the edges but no luck.

    Towing with an aftermarket rear bumper.

    I’m late to ask this question as I’ve already installed the Evil MFG rear bumper. Part of this install is to remove the lowest of the three factory mounting holes so the bumper is only secured using two bolts per side. During the install, I noticed there appeared to be revisions to the bumper...

    Evil Manufacturing/Off road

    To get this thread back on track about Evil Off-road, I want to share the POSITIVE experiences I’ve had with Doug. January 2023, I damaged the front end of my truck at Snoball. After seeing another Gen 3 there with an Evil front bumper, I knew that was the one for me. I called Doug on our...

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    I have to say he’s misinformed as other people have received updates on both the standard Raptor and the R. That being said, Ford themselves have very spotty communication updates.

    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    Since my original order back in 7/2022 wasn’t picked up, the dealer switched it to a 2024 build in Dec. I got confirmation on Tuesday that mine is going into production on 3/4.
