    Bed covers. Any recommendation for type any pics?

    I just got my VIN and will be contacting Morrie about one of these, today. This video sold me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0549t8WrM9U I also looked at this as a point of comparison, but don't like the way the back window gets blocked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxrmcVBcs0s

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    Blood, my dealer just call me with a VIN#. W00T! I would be much obliged if you would look up my build date. 1FTFW1R68DFC84194 For Blood or anyone - is there a website or phone number for tracking things on my own now that I have a VIN? My dealer said to go to the SVT site, but didn't know...

    Is spray-in liner from Ford good?

    Huh, I hadn't thought of that. I did order the step, though truth be told I haven't ever bothered to research what it looks like or how it deploys and stores. One of those, "Meh, what's another couple of hundred on top of 50k" decisions. ;-) Thanks for the pictures. I'm sure this thread will...

    Any of you guys have a local shop you would trust to do something like this?

    Is spray-in liner from Ford good?

    Well, I went to the dealer planning to have them change my order, but they talked me out of it. I was swayed by: Overspray is a risk. Granted it should never happen, but it sometimes does. Spraying on so much that the tailgate doesn't close right. Again, very edge case and small risk, but...

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    Oops. Indeed. Edited my post. ---------- Post added at 02:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ---------- I was told that the only update until and unless a build date is assigned is: there is no update. Now, if that's not the case, lemme piggy-back my plea to Blood on yours...

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    Finally took a minute to scan my order. I'm "unscheduled clean," which I hope is good new according to what I see just two posts up. I'm in the system as a priority 19. Laugh if you will, but it's been sufficiently long since I placed this order that I don't remember what purchase price I...

    tires oxygen verses nitrogen

    +1 It's a scam. My dealer tried to sneak it on my invoice to the tune of $50!! Dry air contains roughly (by volume) 78.09% nitrogen.

    6.2 What does something like this cost?

    Hmm, well that's less than I imagined. Unfortunately it looks like Kinney's is a TX operation and I'm up in CT... all we have up hear are Meineke and Midas, and I would let them put a muffler on my lawn mower! Guess I'll widdle away some time researching and vetting mom & pop shops in my area...

    Is spray-in liner from Ford good?

    Thanks, guys. Based on your feedback I'm going to bug my dealer today. If he thinks the order can be changed without adding additional delay to its processing I'll have it changed. There's a Line-X shop in the next town over from where I live. Sounds like if they advise against changing it...

    Is spray-in liner from Ford good?

    Waiting for my build date and ordered the spray-in liner. See line-x touted all over this forum. Should I have have not ordered the factory spray-in? I only haul weekend warrior stuff from Home Cheapo and landscape-type places. Most of the time I'm hauling bicycles, camping gear, boating gear...

    6.2 What does something like this cost?

    Don't even have a build date, yet, so passing the time compiling my mos wish list. I've never owned a vehicle worthy of an aftermarket exhaust so am a total newb... What does something like this cost?? It sounds amazing: 2013 Raptor 6.2 liter F-150 Flowmaster Custom True Dual by Kinney's - YouTube

    Flex fuel on a brand new ford raptor 6.2 2013?

    Lucky for me the don't sell gay gas where I live... "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" :-p

    Ford Atlas Concept

    I'm with you. It's ugly as hell, I think. Then again, I don't like the F-150 body style that's been out for several years (raptor excluded). Too boxy and waaaaay to much chrome for my taste. I like the look of the '97 - '03 and '04 until whatever year it was they made the front grill look ugly...

    I hear ya on that... I've oh ever seen them on the highway! Never even got to look one over up close. My wife and daughter spotted a black one with MA plate on it headed north in Milford, yesterday. My wife is not moved by cars and normally wouldn't notice anything short of an ambulance, but...

    the new guy

    FWIW my fully loaded [every option except tonneau but including beadlocks] '13 is on order and I am paying $54k... and I'm in Connecticut, our "richest" state. As stated, unless you got a supercharger I'd cancel that order. I also call BS on any dealer claiming 4 weeks to order, build, and...

    Just spotted a black raptor headed north on the parkway between exits 40 & 41... perhaps one of you guys. Man, what a badass looking truck when traveling such a small highway. I bet everyone moves right over. I can't wait for mine to get built!

    My buddy who lives in Stamford bought a 2012 last year from dealer stock. He had to take silver even though he was aiming for blue, but didn't have to wait like us. In the end I ordered through the dealership where he bought as this is his third SVT vehicle from them since the mid nineties and...

    Which dealership? I ordered mine (also black screw) just a few weeks before you... will be interesting to see who gets theirs first! Looking at your avatar - you fire or PD? You take the Parkway to work, or 95? If the Parkway we're sure to cross paths while inching along.

    It feels like never! I'm trying to model patience for my kids, but it's not easy... In the meantime my FX4 just developed an embarrassingly loud squeak/squeal/chirp that seems to be coming from one of the rear wheels; maybe a bearing, or something. I'm just going to ignore it and hope nothing...

    Hammonasset Ford in Madison, even though I live a few miles away from Stevens Ford in Milford. (Short version of long story: Stevens had a black SCREW on the their lot - some custom order that fell through at the last minute. The sales manager was being a **** to me, though, so as much as I...
