I have a CO 35 Raptor. I too struggled about the color the first 2 weeks I had it. But now, after 2 months of ownership I absolutely love it. It's an unique and bold color fitting for a Raptor. I'm an older man and I've had every other color times 5. I wanted something different and I didn't...
Speaking of ordering or receiving a '23 model, is Ford working on the software problem to have Blue Cruise for '23 Raptor? That may be worth waiting for.
Your trade in value is what you set it at. Don't let the dealer dictate it. I've had dealers try and lowball me as much as $10k on a trade in. Do you research (autotrader) and have a realistic idea of how much the dealer could list your car.
I feel it's true color is bright orange in the daytime or with lights shining on it. Overcast days it's more a subdued orange. But either way it ain't no METALLIC.
My CO Raptor is a head turner. I get double compliments. For the Raptor and the color. People of all ages really appreciate the uniqueness and boldness of CO on the Raptor. It doesn't need aftermarket gadgets to make it stand out. But I added some anyway.
Similar experience happened to me at the dealership. I told them I wanted it restored like it was before the accident. OEM parts. I wouldn't want a taillight with buffed out scratches. And because of the inconvenience it caused me I negotiated a new bed rug and car mats.
I went to the dealership for an oil change on my '19 F150 Limited and left with a Raptor. Wasn't much of a Raptor fan until I saw this Gen 3 beauty on the showroom floor.
It's winter and I ordered the Rokblokz mud flaps. The Gen 3 running boards are providing no help with dirty doors, handles, and the windows. The flaps are a simple install so I'll take them off in the spring.
I'm not too impressed with my '21 Raptor 35 off the start. Especially coming from a '19 F150 Limited with the 3.5 high output engine. Which is the same as the Raptor. It took on and vanquished all comers.
