No? Did you reply to the wrong thread? I'm not sure how you can read my post and come away with that.

I picked mine up yesterday, dealer also honored price protection without discussion. In fact they're the ones who told me that it was price protected. The way it's supposed to be. Pick your dealer carefully, don't feed the beast.

Ordered 10/18/21, build week notification for 9/5/22, picked up 10/22/22. Drove 400 miles home, fantastic drive. Only issue at delivery was a tiny paint chip on the driver's door handle. Dealer gave me a paint pen and offered to order a new handle for me. Couple annoyances showed up on the...

Does it have to "break them" to sway their choice? Another way to say this would be: The Raptor's total cost of ownership in a year including fuel is less than just the TRX fuel cost, as that extra $1200/yr will cover all your other costs.

I find it interesting how many people like the TRX interior better than the Raptor. Personally I think it's the thing that really, horribly lets the TRX down. I think it's ugly on the outside too, but the interior? Awful. It's got that "trying to be modern but look like a vintage american...

Funny you say that. If needing to have adjustments like this done and imperfections corrected bothers you, you definitely want to stay away from any high end sports cars or exotics. They're WAY worse, and almost all of them need some adjustment - some even need regular adjustment due to the...

Correct. The Blue Interior has CF by default, and you cannot select the CF package with the Blue Interior package. If you do not select the Blue Interior package, you could independently select the CF package. If you do neither, you will get one of the two listed in the note above depending...

It's not the 37PP that was separated, the CF was part of the blue interior which was separated. If you got the blue interior, you still got the CF - you can't do the CF option with it. Also worth noting, you may get one of two interiors if you didn't get the blue interior or CF, which was in...

Well hate to give more bad news, but got notified by the dealer that mine showed up there today. Ordered 10/18/2021, Scheduled for 9/5/22, Blend date 9/7/22, "In Production" 9/8/22, "Built" 9/28/22. Tracker still shows it as shipped.

Definitely don't agree. Again, most "pros" are going to be prepared. If your kill switch defeats them, they're going to walk away quietly and cover up any sign they were there. Then they're either going to watch to see why and come back, or come back with a trailer. It might give you a...

Wouldn't worry about the door locks. Door entry isn't deterring any prepared thief, no matter what protections there are for the doors. Getting past an immobilizer is a different story. Anyone prepared enough to bypass an immobilizer is prepared to deal with whatever else you've done, up to...

Not sure I understand these. Out of curiosity, why do people think anyone with enough knowledge to defeat the ignition controls on a modern car can't defeat commercial anti theft devices as well? Doesn't seem like one would be more difficult than the OEM immobilizer/key fob systems?

Vehicle is unsafe to drive, have it towed to a service center and stop driving it. Might not speed up the resolution, but, it's the right thing to do. File an NHTSA report also.

From all the reports of people who have had it, had it fixed, and had it repeat. It sounds like there is a problem with the charging system in these trucks causing batteries to go bad, and when they fail, it causes both the audio issue and the light flickering issue. My $0.02 Might be worth...

Must have been a big batch of parts going on yesterday, mine was a 9/7 blend date and went built today also.

Still very skeptical, do you have something aside from a stock order that got built to back this up? That would basically mean they're operating 2 separate assembly lines. That seems unlikely. Are you sure the order priority was the same?

This is not true. Orders are orders, allocations determine which get picked up.

Because "resale silver" is a thing.

There's no real mystery. I'll reveal the secrets. Dealers lie like crazy about allocations. There's a lot of telling you they have an allocation for you, but there's 5 salespeople at the dealership all selling that same allocation to different customers. They might get lucky and get more...

Oh, I'd bet you ADM-level money they're 100% aware. It's just a nice way for them to pick up an extra $6k on you.

The dealer is getting price protection no matter what as long as it was a customer order, not a stock order. Just a question if they decide to bend you over or not. Given they're dealers, guess which is more likely... The 22 to 23 'roll over' isn't any sort of roll over at all, it's just a...

Nobody else got this? At least once every 45 days does not bode well.

Regardless of whether you win or lose, it's a question of if it's worth a long fight with Ford's legal team. Seems unlikely that the entire possible revenue is worth more than a small fraction of that cost. There's plenty of places that will print and cut custom vinyl, best to get the design...

Claybar is also generally good for removing IFO, though to remove the actual clear coat staining, you need to polish. Your head unit resets are very plausibly a result of your first problem. Having amplifier channels dead shorted can cause problems a long way back up the chain. You really...
