    Raptor Incoming - Built, Awaiting Shipment

    Gotcha. Any reason you'd actually think mine would be one? Just timing close to the build date?

    Raptor Incoming - Built, Awaiting Shipment

    Thought I'd just start a thread about my order progress, since people seem to compare notes on production timing a lot. —Order placed 2/1/22. Raptor 35 (because 37s make it slower) with 801A, moonroof, ProPower, blue seats, beadlock capable wheels, and spray bedliner. Left the tonneau cover...

    Order is in shipment, Dealer is acting funny...

    Someone help me understand Price Protection. When I ordered in February 2022 the truck was one price. I now have a window sticker and it's status is Built, and the MSRP has jumped ~$2700. This is on Ford's end, not the dealer. Will Ford reimburse me the price change from order to delivery, using...

    January Orders

    Ordered a 35 on 2/1/22 and got my VIN on 5/19. Production date was listed as today, so we'll see.

    Anyone here ordered Sept/Oct and still unscheduled like me?

    This is much more a market issue than a Ford issue. Also for everyone complaining about production dates that keep bumping back, do you really think those are being entered based on anything? That's all systematized and probably automated. I ordered 2/1/22 and I'm just assuming I'll see the...

    Do Gen 2 Tonneau Covers Fit?

    I know there are lots of threads covering which tonneau cover is best. Curious if the Gen 3 bed is the same, so I can just look at the Gen 2 threads to get info. Never bought a vehicle with so little support and info readily available. When I got a 2018 Gen 2 it already had huge AM support and...

    Raptor R price guessing game

    I bet it starts in the high $90k range. I'll call my shot at $98k. Much less and it'll be too close to the V6 Raptor and everyone would go with the R. I think higher price will line up better with the halo vehicle optics that Ford is likely targeting. I bet it only comes with 37s standard. No...

    Will the Raptor R be “off-road use only”?

    Seems like an absurd question. The Raptor R will be a street legal competitor to the TRX. It'll be a halo vehicle designed to be the last word in street legal trucks, and will be priced accordingly. The Bronco R is in no way related to this and is a stripped down race vehicle. I'm pretty sure...

    Raptor Assault Registration now open

    Correct. As an east coaster that's exactly the appeal. Plus it's nice beating on a truck that isn't mine. If you have access to that terrain and know what you're doing already, you can have more fun without the RA restrictions.

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    At Raptor Assault they actually recommended we keep the tires a little below the door recommendation, even on the road. They pointed out that dropping a few PSI really helps with rear hop over bumps and I found that to be true. I'd rather ride/composure over tire life personally.

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    Interesting. On the Gen 2 I preferred the recommended pressure on the door or lower. The back end was jumpy over road bumps when the pressure was higher. Hopefully the Gen 3's coil suspension will improve this and higher pressure will be a good option.

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    I wonder if there really were just batches of KO2s that were softer. My alignment was always good on my Gen 2 and I kept pressures around 30psi year-round (updating seasonally for temp). I assumed it was because I drive aggressively and most of my miles were windy country roads, not highway...

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    I'm sure driving it like it's a Prius also helps. ;)

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    My dealer was totally incompetent so it took months to get the money, but this is how it's supposed to work, and it's this easy if the tire dealer knows what they're doing. All you have to do is press the issue and the tire dealer should be able to get you the tread life balance back as a...

    BIG BROTHER IS FILMING YOU INSIDE THE GEN 3

    Not doubting you. That it takes photographs doesn't mean it saves them or how it saves them or why it takes them. I'm as anti-government-surveillance as the next guy, but I also don't assume everything with a microphone or camera is a direct conduit to Biden's jack booted thugs. Think about...

    BIG BROTHER IS FILMING YOU INSIDE THE GEN 3

    Interesting. I logged in to post this picture and ask what these are. I've seen YouTube videos where you can see IR lights inside both of them, which is how I noticed them. I believe you're wrong about the purpose but it's quite possible they're cameras. I think they're there for BlueCruise...

    Convince Me to WAIT to Order

    Cheaper… the folding shifter isn’t connected to anything.

    How accurate is estimated delivery date? ETA is 2/28 for 37" 801A

    Some of these wait times are nuts. I wonder if 2022s will be as delayed or if the problem is easing.

    Would you Buy a 2022 Base Raptor....

    Nothing broke on my Gen 2. Tech stuff usually doesn’t these days.

    Would you Buy a 2022 Base Raptor....

    Yep, the obviously self-deprecating point there is that I can't say much driving a Fiesta in the interim. I don't get spending $65k on a truck and not spending the $15k more for the options. I've always approached buying new vehicles from the standpoint that if you can't afford the loaded...

    Cobb for GEN 3

    I've been told Cobb has yet to crack the ECU for the Gen 3, which means they're probably not working on a tune yet. My gut is to say "why the heck is it taking so long, put more hours into it," but I have no idea what I'm talking about on that front. Also I'm completely speculating on this...

    How accurate is estimated delivery date? ETA is 2/28 for 37" 801A

    Hmm. Don't imagine there is a VIN yet and I didn't get an order #. Same thing when I ordered my 2018. Never saw a VIN or any details until days before the truck showed up at the dealer.

    Would you Buy a 2022 Base Raptor....

    I have no idea why anyone buys a base anything but some people do so you'll make money on it. I'd buy it and flip it the next day. I'd never be able to live with it though. I sold my 2018 for almost what I paid in June. I'm driving a 2016 Fiesta while I wait for my Gen 3 and I prefer that to a...

    Looks like no BlueCruise for Raptor - 801a's READ!

    As long as this doesn't affect adaptive cruise or lane keep I'll live. I like the idea of hands free cruise but rarely drive on the highway where it'll work.
