    Dude 1782 where are you located? ---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:20 PM ---------- Aiden 138 did Ford Performance or Facebook (or your dealer) show that your truck had shipped? The last update of yours that I saw said that it was loaded and ready to...

    Best Security System for 2017 Raptor?

    Since I had a previous F-150 truck stolen (back in 2010), I want to get the best security/alarm system possible installed on my new Raptor (if/when it ever arrives). I live near Atlanta, and we have one of the worst car theft epidemics in the nation. There are cars stolen every day near my...

    Oct build movement?

    From Ford Service yesterday evening:"Your Raptor is loaded on its final mode of transportation and is just waiting to start its journey. ETA is still TBD, for now. We'll be here tomorrow and Saturday. We'll be closed Sunday and Monday. :) Mackenzie" I know that it has been said that the...

    How to track a Norfolk Southern Rail Car

    Hey 2017 Lightning Blue, I'm happy for you that your truck is finally on its way! That gives me a little hope that mine will escape ramp 59 eventually. Keep us updated, and let us know when you get it. Looks like a happy new year. For you!

    New Ruby Red

    Great looking truck! I had a hard time deciding between black and ruby red, finally went with black when I ordered in July. I'm regretting it now, after seeing yours. There wasn't any good representation of the colors available back when we were ordering. Dang it, dang it, dang it.........I...

    Interest Rate - 2017 Raptor

    I was told around 1.78% about a month ago, because the dealer is matching my local credit union.

    Oct build movement?

    Darin, my 10/31 build must be sitting on the same row as yours. No status changes since 12/21, still at ramp 59.

    Seen one!

    Which dealer here in Georgia did you get it from? Did you have to pay above MSRP?

    Oct build movement?

    Just checked with Ford Performance, and now mine is showing back at the dreaded ramp 59! I was hoping for some good news today, maybe some semblance of hope that I might actually see this vehicle before January, but that just got shot down.....

    Advantages of 2016 Delivery

    My current F-150 is being sold to a business, so they need to purchase it before the end of the year for tax purposes, evidently. I think a lot of us on the forum are in the same situation, holding on to our current rides until the new truck comes in. Personally, I am getting several thousands...

    Oct build movement?

    My 10/31 build was originally released on 12/9, and I was told today that it was "re-released" (evidently had a second "quality check") on 12/17, and ready for shipment. Ford service said they are working the logistics people through the holidays, in order to get all of the units shipped before...

    Crash protection removed from Raptor?

    I have engineered 0 vehicles to pass crash tests. However, what I have done is worked in the automotive industry for the last 23 years, including 12 in a Ford assembly plant, where I worked on the assembly line and managed the various assembly areas where these types of parts are installed. As...

    Crash protection removed from Raptor?

    Ford originally only put this bar on the F150 Supercrew, but had to add it to the Supercabs as well the following year, in order to get the crash test ratings they wanted. I just assumed that the Raptor would have them. Regarding the comments about it not being a big deal, it is to me because...

    Behind the wheel, closest to the foot-well.

    Crash protection removed from Raptor?

    Here are pictures of an F150 wheel well with the crash bar, and of the same area on a Raptor without the bar:

    Crash protection removed from Raptor?

    The bar's purpose is to help keep the tire/wheel assembly from being pushed into the floorboard, thereby reducing the amount of damage to an occupant's lower legs. The crash tests that were done both with and without the bar show a lot of difference in the amount of damage to the occupant's leg...

    GEN 2 Mid Atlantic delivery

    Congratulations! I am suffering from "Raptor Envy", waiting on my Black SCREW to come in. At this point, it seems like Bigfoot, Unicorns and the Loch Ness monster ( are raptors real do they exist?) lol, Enjoy.

    Crash protection removed from Raptor?

    I did a side by side comparison on Friday, when I went to view a Raptor that had just arrived at a nearby dealer. The bar that is indeed behind the front wheel wells on the 2016 F150's is not there on the Raptors. I was very disappointed to find this out, because my dealer never said that this...

    Crash protection removed from Raptor?

    Watching the video of the crash test was part of my motivation for buying an F150 again. Front corner overlap crashes have become more common due to people looking at cell phones while driving. I even told my dealer that this was a motivating factor for my purchase, so hearing that they aren't...

    Mid NOV Built Raptors appear to be arriving in GA

    The one at Nalley Ford has most options, except for graphics, moon roof. Im going to head out that way to see it tomorrow, to see how good the Avalanche looks.
