    R on display at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo

    There is an R on display at the HLS&R. I hadn’t seen one live yet. As evidence of how my mentality is right now on these, the first thing I did was look at the front crank vicinity under the truck/skid plate to see if there was any evidence of oil…. Mine is in production now - and all I can...

    “SOME” 2023 Raptor R’s Leaking Oil

    Sorry about this intentional pun, but I am “leaking oil” the more I read. Mine is supposed to be built next week, but I wouldn’t even tolerate what you just have. I wouldn’t anymore drive it with a leak than have a hot tar enema. My want/need to own this truck may not be as great as many.

    Feelings? Thoughts?

    Mine isn’t supposed to be built for 2 weeks. I’d hope they have this figured out. I’m losing steam here.

    Totally Unrelated

    My Cadillac dealer (to which I’d expressed interest in an Escalade V early last summer when it was announced) just had the balls to tell me he has a new one that is mine for $229K. Mind you, they didn’t call me back to take my order early last summer…. Ever see the show, “In Living Color” with...

    This would be my 7th Ford truck since 2009. I’m quite cognizant of what they turn out. The original statement was “$110K truck or not, you guys bought a vehicle off of an assembly line”. What I’m saying is that most all vehicles come off of an assembly line, even boutique vehicles. The fact...

    My wife’s $130K 2023 AMG GLE63S came off of an assembly line as well, in Tuscaloosa, AL. It is flawless. Are you saying an assembly line means it won’t be right, or that American manufacturers can’t get it right with an assembly line, or both?

    This happens with mine, they will be keeping it. Homey doesn't pay this much for oil leaks of that magnitude-from the jump. Some people are understanding; I'm not in the slightest.

    This is a good bit of oil for as short a time as it sat. This makes my stomach hurt…quite honestly.

    No doubt. Beyond this, are you happy with it?

    Bed/Tonneau Cover

    You have summarized my attraction to it. The Retrax Pro MX is as stout as anything there is-(probably stronger)-but it has a can at the front-that steals some space from these girly man beds (sorry everyone, I come from larger trucks-not used to this sized bed.) Actually, I've always said...

    Bed/Tonneau Cover

    On the last 6 trucks I've owned (5 F250 diesels and 1 F150), I've installed Retrax Pro/Pro MX - as I believe they are the best money can buy. That said, I'm thinking about a BackFlip MX4 this time to avoid having the "can" at the front of this fairly small truck bed. Anybody have experience...

    Sorry, I went back and found it is Avalanche. Sorry for asking again.

    Same thing in Texas. I’m not doing it, period. I haven’t for about 5 vehicles.

    All clear. I’ll take delivery for sure.

    Raptor R in Parking Garage

    80.7” is the number, verified by a kind forum member who measured his R for me. I won’t divulge his name unless he wants me to. Regardless. the issue is settled via actual measurement. Thanks.

    Raptor R in Parking Garage

    I’m literally slack-jawed that someone from NY would say this; the irony is beyond thick. At the risk of getting in trouble with the mods, I won’t say anything political or charged. That said, if a person does have the intent to commit crime here in Texas, that person potentially is risking...

    MY 2023 Raptor R Order Unscheduled and the Wait Continues......

    The actual delivery from the factory always seems to be the issue. Mine is scheduled to be built on Valentines Day. I’m hoping to have it by mid March. \\\\\\\

    Raptor R in Parking Garage

    At this point, that is the plan. I found somebody in the parking garage who drives a 2021 F250. His truck is 81.5” to the top edge of the satellite radio “black boxes” at the back of the cab. (He has slightly rubbed one or both of those black antenna boxes at a couple of points in the garage...

    Raptor R in Parking Garage

    I won’t drop this kind of money if the vehicle doesn’t fit my needs. If this is spoiled, I’m not sure what to say. I’m simply asking if someone who has taken delivery could measure their R’s height, nothing more. Regardless, buying or not buying a Ford truck won’t have a material impact on my...

    Raptor R in Parking Garage

    None of this will work. I need a measurement. As much as I hate to do it-I won’t buy it if it doesn’t go into the garage.
