    SHE'S HERE. First drive impressions and a pic.

    Thanks guys! Ordered June 26th (I think), built October 11th, shipped to Mississippi on October 20th, arrived November 11th. Not bad all things considered (especially compare to some folk. )

    SHE'S HERE. First drive impressions and a pic.

    Holy hell. HOLY. HELL. This truck man. I'll say I'm new to trucks and certainly to the Raptor (drove a rental 2021 F150 XLT for a few months and fell in love, ordered the Raptor). But man. This thing is something else. Drives like a dream. Smoothest shifting of any new vehicle driven in the...

    Suicidal Raptor

    Wife's 2021 Lincoln does exactly the same thing. Previous Hyundai Palisade was better but still did it, too, occasionally. ALWAYS hugs the inside line of the road and scares the crap out of me. I just keep positive pressure to keep the vehicle where I want it and it still helps me avoid getting...

    Driver Seat Holster Mount Ideas

    Sorry we hijacked your thread! Don't see the molle mount from Alien Gear, but they DO have the strap version like in your picture there, compatible with Shape Shift system: https://aliengearholsters.com/shapeshift-car-holster.html.html So while that wouldn't let you simply remove your appendix...

    Excellent points! Will definitely add drills from the truck to the training regimen.

    Driver Seat Holster Mount Ideas

    And just to wade in on the wider discussion on carrying/guns: if you've only ever shot standing still at a range, even with an instructor, I HIGHLY recommend you find a stress course or tactical training option that'll let you move around, get your heart rate up (not like sprinting, just the...

    Driver Seat Holster Mount Ideas

    My Alien Gear "core carry" kit comes today. LOVE the concept, and the people I've talked to that use it love it, too. Kit comes with traditional IWB and appendix carry base holsters plus OWB slide and paddle holsters (range days for me when not practicing from concealed carry). Position is...

    How hard to remove the exterior graphics?

    Well, wife said she hates blue, so I have to hate the blue now, so it's a fairly moot point. Still going to consider it if it arrives and isn't already sold (highly doubtful since it's already on their site), but in all likelihood I'll just sack up and be patient for another couple of months...

    How hard to remove the exterior graphics?

    So my dealer listed their dealer order Raptor on their website (status: dealer ordered). I'm thinking (hoping) it might come in a couple of months ahead of my custom ordered one (October 11th build week). The only differences between theirs and mine are: color (theirs antimatter, mine agate...

    Order still unscheduled? Have a tonneau cover on your build? REMOVE IT (maybe...)

    I think I've seen at least one person that had the cover and got a build date, but it got pushed. Like others have pointed out, we're probably reading too much into some of this, and there are almost certainly factors we aren't aware of that are affecting scheduling. So... who knows. I'll...

    Order still unscheduled? Have a tonneau cover on your build? REMOVE IT (maybe...)

    Soft cover in my case. The fella on Facebook had the hard folding cover.

    Order still unscheduled? Have a tonneau cover on your build? REMOVE IT (maybe...)

    Howdy. So I saw a thread on Facebook where someone's dealer mentioned that Ford is out of tonneau covers, and then I just got a call from MY dealer who said exactly the same thing. But she actually went so far as to say that my truck was still not even "scheduled to be scheduled" as long as the...

    Gen 3 with 35’s

    The Keep It Dirty Off Road guys have some video of a 35 base model (with a look underneath) in their deep dive video.

    Order Placed for 2021/22 with 35s (originally 37 package, but no allocations... I cry)!

    Interesting. I already had them cancel the 37 and switch to a 35 build (I wasn't 100% sure on the 37s anyway), so I've got their second allocation locked up. I also feel like they don't really know what's going on with all of this.... Ah well. Now I just have to wait for scheduling and...

    Order Placed for 2021/22 with 35s (originally 37 package, but no allocations... I cry)!

    Awesome stuff on the Raptor Assault school! Will definitely check it out. Thanks all!

    Order Placed for 2021/22 with 35s (originally 37 package, but no allocations... I cry)!

    Ended up dropping the original order and taking their other 35" package allocation. Not looking to wait forever, and I wasn't 100% sold on the blue interior and extra size anyway. Maybe I'll graduate to the 37s for my next Raptor when I want to take up rock crawling or something (or just trade...

    Order Placed for 2021/22 with 35s (originally 37 package, but no allocations... I cry)!

    Hello all! First time poster. Just got my order placed for the 21/22 Raptor. Snagged the second of 2 allocations for my dealer. Weirdly, they just straight up said the 37 package was "out of stock" but went ahead and placed the order to be filled when it could be. Looking more and more like a...
