Ok, I'm an older guy and while I understand that most younger folks won't stand for videos past maybe 5 min. I appreciate the info, from someone that just wants to bring up some issues. I also agree with the phone buttons.... I was thinking about making some YT videos while building some resto...
on a previous Raptor I just wired them into one of the upfitter switch connections (if you have them), just check the amps they are wired for, it was super easy.
Shad, I worked for him back when he was first starting out at Flex-N-Gate. He is the stereo typical entrepreneur, worked 80 hrs/week. But hey saw him on the cover of Forbes a couple of years ago as a Billionare. Not sure if I should have quit to go to college for that engineering degree or...
Thank you so much for this list and the supporting information. Now that I know about these issues I can educate my local dealer if they try to side step it.
The issue for me is the cost of trading. So I just bought a gen 3 at MSRP, great, BUT dealer prep fee, shipping fee (or travel fee if you fly and drive) then the biggest one of all Georgia Advelorem tax 6.6% of the full value plus dealer fees. So I also have a gen 3 on order, (since June) that...
Ok just FYI, my Raptor is the same, I suspect the DS has a lot of stuff inside for switches and such that limit it "folding" any closer. Don't over think things as long as they are working well. I sometimes wonder why they put things together like they do. Answer is sometimes there is a reason...
Had my Code Orange shipped from IA, got it and only have 125 miles on it but I already love it, Sooo many things Ford did right in the design of this truck. Absolutely a blast to drive, no off road yet but it will come.
Well worth the wait!
No, I never got a VIN, just the unscheduled, clean abyss. I will be shocked if the dealer ever calls to say it arrived. not sure what I would do but I will have to go look it over and decide. It may be hard to get the 22 though since in GA the advelorum cost is 6.6%. if I cant get a good trade...
Man, I am sorry (sort of...) I worked with Tyler and he told me I was just lucky to have called when I did, a few minuets one way or the other and it would be someone else's truck. I can relate though as I missed several of them just like that.
Finally got one, I had ordered a AMB,801a, power tech,37 pkg, spray in liner w hard folding cover. Never got built. Dealer said Ford told them they would build it as a 2022MY, we'll see. In the meantime I was calling dealers looking for one at MSRP, this one was a special order from Granger...
Congrats from another GA member, just bought a code orange waiting on shipping company to give me a date to get it shipped to me, hope to join you soon.
So, I love a V8, always have. That said, the best choice should be the unit that delivers the best power to weight ratio. If you have a 5000 lb weight truck and a 500Hp engine it is 10:1. So it depends on the package. All that said if you treat both engines the same then the V8 will always make...
Sorry to hear about those unethical and just immoral dealers. hopefully, when things settle out (and yes they will, mfg's cant maintain their business at super low production volumes) those acting unethical will be purged by a lack of consumers due to their bad behavior.
Love the Raptor stories, here is mine, sort of. I used to race trucks off road occasionally, amature stuff, back in 1976-78, I had a regular cab Ford pick up 4WD, big v8, lift kit and tall tires. Driving it off road was a trade off. I would beat the crap out of it on the weekend and it would...
I would definitely want more power with a warranty, that is IF Ford ever actually builds me a raptor. Waiting since June 2021 and now looks like Q1 2022 is my best hope IF the Raptor selection committee picks me, until then stay quiet, stand in line and have your money ready...
The insanity of 699-999 is recent around Atlanta, no state law regulating it. I have negotiated some but they always act like its not open for that. Next time I trade anything into a dealer I will agree on the value of my vehicle but then hit them for a "transportation fee" to bring it to them...
Like some of you, my order placed June 25 was unscheduled clean, Dealer called last week to inform me that it would be built as a 2022 with no change to price. They did change the order priority to 10 which should make sure it is at the top of the list. They said it could be delivered in Jan or...
