    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    Ford Performance gave me a delivery estimate of November 15-21st. I just got a call from my salesman telling me my truck came in this morning and is waiting for me. Of course I just got in to south Florida and am about to get on a cruise liner until the 26th. Nine months waiting and it shows up...

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    Did you get a sheet from the dealer that says “preview order...” in the upper left corner that breaks down the options and prices on the options? If you did, the order number is the number after it says preview order. My sheet said “Preview order R20P”. If they gave you nothing I would stop by...

    GEN 2 New 17 and 18 FR for Sale

    http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/question-about-resale-depreciation-57889/ Is it just me or does this exactly mirror the (formerly known as Mcnawsty but currently known as banned user) posts that ended in October? Are more dealerships starting to give deals? Sounds like it. Are...

    Shipping a Raptor

    And has your vehicle lived up to all the hype? I'm hoping yes, as mine arrives at the dealership in the next 2 weeks and I have never even had a chance to drive one yet.

    GEN 2 Wind Noise

    http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/drivers-side-window-air-noise-55043/ I remembered reading this one, the post on the second page might help. NM, MJSlasheradmin, I see you posted on the same thread so you are aware of it!

    FORSCAN help?

    And the cynic in me has to wonder if keeping the folding cycles down will reduce warranty work in the future that Ford would have to take care of on their dime.

    GEN 2 Line-X quote getting ridiculous?

    Johngm45 I am thinking about the 40" bar on the grill when I get my truck. Did you put it on yourself? If yes, how much of a chore was it getting the grille off and back on? And finally, how do you like the light output on that bar? (Sorry about the off topic trip)

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    Did the dealer give you his/her dealer number and an order number? If you have those the ford performance chat site will be able to give you updates on production. Even if no production date or week has been assigned they will confirm the order as "unscheduled clean" if the order is in there...

    2017 at near invoice.

    Don't you EVER grow weary of this? It's not going to take long if you continue the same bull crap til the mod sends you out again!

    Question for you experienced guys

    Why is it that while I was reading your SCREW description I could not help thinking you were describing the SCREW as the "mullet"- 'business up front, party in the back'? Thanks for the chuckle!

    Spam on this site?

    I got the same thing on my phone until I noticed my phone didn't log back on as a registered user and I was on as a guest. As soon as I logged back on with my username and password it stopped happening. Hopefully that is all it takes in your case.

    Console Organization

    Thanks for that info! Not that you would see all those logos once you put your treasures in there, but that many raptor logos was just a little much for me.

    New 2018 Ford Raptor Owner Leadfoot

    Looks like you need a serious garage enlargement before you are going to get that thing inside! Nice truck (s)!

    37" Tire/Wheel combos - whats working

    OMG, that's not my vehicle but I'm still kind of tearing up just looking at what has been done to that Raptor! And then the second thing running thru my mind as I look at it is that's about the finest mouse condo I've ever seen. A little fabric up front to shred up and stuff in each individual...

    Turn signal quirks

    Got to have higher fpm's to get into that v6 power curve sweet spot. Once they get the 'squatch promised v8 back the fpm's will go back down and no doubt sound much better!

    New Rigid ADAPT are Here!

    I frankly don't care what people do or don't do with the equipment they put on their vehicles unless it endangers those of us who share the roads with them. I do however find it pretty ignorant when a manufacturer advertises something that will get those who don't know or understand the law(s)...

    Question about resale and depreciation

    Question about resale and depreciation

    Not sure what your very apparent issue is with gen 2's, but you must not be privy to the current real world. The GM at my dealership told me that he was at an auction last month where a 17 with 21k miles sold for 2k over msrp. To me that is insane, but that is the real world right now.

    New Rigid ADAPT are Here!

    "Further, Adapt has built-in accent lighting that can be set to any color in the light spectrum, including white, for a custom look around town." Looks like a great light bar, but I have to chuckle about the advertisement picture choice. If Toyota dude decides to keep his "custom look around...

    GEN 2 Aftermarket Wheel Question

    Another thing to keep in mind, depending upon which state you happen to live in or travel thru, there are traffic laws prohibiting tires extending beyond fender wells. Stick those tires out too far and you may be waving the proverbial red flag in front of the bull (or trooper as the case may be)!

    Who's been waiting the longest?

    He's got me by a large margin! I ordered a 2017 the first week of March, but my local (small) dealership had no more 2017 allocations. I changed my order to a 2018 on 6-5, and got one of the dealerships 2 allocations. I just got my VIN with a build week of October 30th. I want a Raptor, but I...

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    I ordered a 17 the first week of march, changed the order to an 18 on 6-5 and today I got a build week of October 30th. The GM at the dealership said they dropped the CF option or the build date would have been further down the road (I had instructed him to drop the CF if it was going to delay...
