    Anyone Experience Back Discomfort in Drivers Seat?

    I think they're very good seats for most drives up to a few hours. Hence, I figured they would be great for even longer drives. Then I did a 9 hour drive yesterday, broken up in 3 hour increments. I gotta say, I'm not that impressed. The back support is fine, albeit on the firmer...

    I finally got a Gen 3, but I might not keep it for long.

    True.......I should have said that I think TRX's will be heavily discounted by that time.

    I finally got a Gen 3, but I might not keep it for long.

    Once the chip shortages correct (or somewhat correct)-- if gas prices are also still super high-- TRX demand will go WAAAAY down. By summer of next year, I truly believe TRX's will be discounted across the board.

    A Few 2022's will be available soon!

    That's great............except it's practically irrelevant when Ford can't secure the chips it needs to to complete the builds and actually the deliver the trucks that have ALREADY been built and are sitting in Michigan. It's such a sh*t show.

    Mine is built as well: was built on 3/31. I have no idea why Ford seems to be disproportionately affected c/w to other auto makers, or maybe that's purely my imagination. No one knows anything, other than the magical chips are missing

    Delivery pushed back ..............again. Went from 5/6 to 5/21, waiting on chips. It seems as though things are getting worse with micro chips rather than better, but who actually knows.

    Is there any dealers selling at MSRP? Im talking to my dealer and they are giving me the run around

    This is exactly what I've been saying.............this will all correct, but with cars (more so than other goods), it may take longer b/c of this ongoing situation with supply chain issues. ........The joys of outsourcing your economy to the 3rd world

    Tell me I'm completely insane for even considering this........

    Resolved since this thread............I placed a raptor in Jan, and it was built 3/31/22. Now I'm just waiting like many others on here for whatever chip(s) that are missing. Where in Louisiana are you? I lived there for a long time.......

    STILL WAITING with no new updates. Truck built on 3/31 and nothing new w/r to when whatever chip is missing will be installed.

    I'm in the same boat. Mine was built last Thursday: 3/31, only to be told it's waiting on a chip. When I asked my sales guy for additional details, he said he would have some more info for me within a day or 2. That was 4 days ago and counting. The reality is that they can't/won't...

    Carmax offered 83k on 79k msrp 2021 raptor

    don't disagree in real terms with what you're saying, but rising rates have historically diminished consumer confidence for borrowing-- even when the rates increases are nominal, as you stated. And the rate hikes will likely be more substantive, given that there will be several over time...

    Carmax offered 83k on 79k msrp 2021 raptor

    What's going on is what I mentioned a few weeks ago: the market is starting to cool as auto loan rates are going up. Many said and continue to say demand is going to stay high through next year. I don't buy it at all, regardless of what the parts/chips issue continue to be. As rates...

    Awful sounds coming from my brand new Gen 3

    This sucks so badly............for you to wait this long, only to get a truck that feels so cheap/poorly built. I was told by the dealership that almost everything is automated on the builds of these trucks, in which case much of human error should be taken out of the equation. It scares me...

    yeah, none of it makes any sense. I got the 801a package but other than that, deleted my bedliner option b/c I knew it would add to the wait. And I didn't want a moonroof

    How I got my price protected despite having a stock order

    Just a follow up to my previous posts: first off, shout out to: 98rangerdave, who gave me some emails to send my complaint to. The CEO has no email that allows for direct customer contact it would appear, but one of the other 2 emails made their way to someone at Ford Corporate. They...

    Stuck in production status

    I have the same dilemma. My build date is now March 30th, and I have a fairly desirable vehicle to sell as a dealer pass through (so I get trade credit), and it's impossible to know exactly when to sell this thing since it's so unpredictable as to when the Raptor actually gets built.

    Price Increase question

    It all depends on the dealership. The GM of the dealership I'm purchasing from just called me yesterday. They initially offered to split the difference with me on the $3300, which I agreed to with my sales guy. However, the GM later changed his mind after remembering me as a prior customer...

    Price Increase question

    Ford corporate is absolutely awful: their 'customer service' line is worthless, as is their marketing dept. Good luck speaking with anyone who will cop to knowing anything about the price increase and what your remedies are. When I spoke to someone on their customer service line, they...

    Realistic to get a 35 for MSRP?

    It was for me, but I had a relationship with this dealer, where I had bought my Shelby from, and I placed my order in early January. There was never any talk of an ADM--just the $3300 price increase, which caught me off guard. We've since come to a resolution on that. The biggest thing...

    Ruby red on the ground

    Fair points for sure............. I think it will be interesting to see how soon domestic chip production will start to take effect. There has been a lot of big talk, but not sure what if any action has taken place. Our govt has to be thinking hard about China feeling emboldened to invade...
