    So, I got an update from Ford Performance that my Raptor is sitting in a rail yard 10 minutes from my house...yes, 10 minutes. Yet, it's deliver dates to my dealer 2.5 hours away is between the 10th-16th. Nonetheless, I took a 10 minute drive to the rail yard and met a really nice security...

    2018 Order Progress

    Cool, thanks so much! So, I called the 800 number and the rep told me my Raptor is sitting at the rail yard 20 minutes from me and the delivery date is the 10th-16th. Ironically, the dealership is 2.5 hours away. Sure would be nice to just go pick it up from the rail yard and drive it off the...

    2018 Raptors under sticker

    I just purchased my '18 for $2k under sticker. I shopped 3 local dealers and all 3 were willing to honor the original dealers $2k under sticker offer. I wanted black and ended up buying my black beauty, but if any of you are interested in the other two Raptors and dealer info, PM me and I...

    GEN 2 My First Truck, 2017 Ford Raptor Supercrew

    Amazing attention to detail, and I am VERY impressed with your work. Question, is the Gorilla 96644BDX the actual part # for the lug nuts which fit our Raptor, or do we need to enter additional thread information in addition to the 96644BDX?

    Gen2 reliability

    Thanks everyone for your responses. I just spoke to my salesman and he says my delivery dates have been updated and now my truck is due in anytime between tomorrow the 7th and the 11th. So, it's getting REAL now lol. I already told him to park it immediately after coming off the truck, and I...

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    Just got an update from the dealer that my baby is due in between tomorrow the 7th and the 11th. Therefore, is there anyone near upstate NY that can help me customize my new truck with this Forscan stuff? I apologize, but this is my first Raptor and first Ford since over 20 years ago...

    Gen2 reliability

    I have a deposit, but haven't actually signed the paperwork which I told the dealer I would do immediately after inspecting the rig upon delivery. Ironically, I had looked at two other Raptors at other dealers and both had small dents in them which the dealer claims was from being delivered...

    Gen2 reliability

    My '18 is due in within a week or so. This is my first Ford in over 20 years and am curious about the Raptor reliability. I plan to keep this truck for a long time and am coming from mostly Toyota vehicles (Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Tundra). Therefore, any insight from Gen1 and Gen2 owners is...

    Newbie getting ready to pull trigger...insight on Raptor reliability/problem spots.

    Hi all, So, my '18 Raptor is due in between the 11th-17th. I have a deposit placed on it, and am really excited about my first Raptor much less my first Ford in over 20 years. I have historically purchased Toyota/Lexus products. Therefore, for those that have owned either a Gen1 or Gen2...

    2018 Order Progress

    How do you find that information? I would love to know exactly where my baby is sitting. Dealer says it will be delivered between 11th-17th, but that's all I have. Can you look up my vin# and give me an update please? Vin# 1FTFW1RGXJFB07358. Thanks so much.

    Got my VIN and delivery date today!

    On FordEtis, mine says it was built on 10/29/17 which is a Sunday, is that correct?. That is all the information I can find. Can someone give me more detailed information on the delivery date? The dealer is saying between the 11th-17th, but who knows. I am chomping at the bit :) Vin...

    Dealer honoring $2k under sticker online screwup, but.....should I?

    12 years in the Army made me OCD, so before I put down a deposit, I had the dealer sign the buyers agreement and I signed it as well. It's a done deal, I can assure you. Honestly, I don't even think $2k under sticker is a great deal, but apparently it is based on the market out west. Line-X...

    Dealer honoring $2k under sticker online screwup, but.....should I?

    Holy cow, $20k over? Well, I feel really good about my $2k under sticker now lol. I just spoke to my salesman and am trying to get a sprayed in bed liner thrown in, but I suspect the answer will be no :biggrin: I can't believe it literally has every available option including a bed extender...

    Dealer honoring $2k under sticker online screwup, but.....should I?

    Can you please elaborate on what types of visual mods you are referring to? I have never owned a Raptor much less a white vehicle. So, any ideas are much appreciated, and thanks.

    Dealer honoring $2k under sticker online screwup, but.....should I?

    So, recently when searching for a new '18 Screw, I found a dealer within 100 miles of me that had several Raptors listed on their website. One in particular was discounted $2k off the sticker, so my first thought was it was a demo. However, when I stopped by the dealer, they admittedly stated...

    Possible newbie here-need advice

    Thanks everyone for the replies. After much research and reading some of your posts, I have decided against the sunroof. Google has been my friend and apparently the big sun roof has had too many issues to make me feel fuzzy. I plan on keeping this truck a LONG time, and just see nothing but...

    Possible newbie here-need advice

    Hello all. Currently, I have a Toyota Tundra but am really close to pulling the trigger on an '18 Raptor. I have never owned a Raptor and the last Ford I owned was back in 2001. Therefore, are there any glaring issues that I need to know about regarding the Raptor? Also, I am only interested...
