    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    I would use either to avoid using the brake when hitting speed bumps or the occasional gravel road. GM paint is horrible. My 24 Sierra looks like it has 60k instead of 6k. Ford has/had much better paint....except the "unseen" areas. The seats are the worst part of GM trucks but I think all...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    I am going to order a Raptor one more time (possibly another 6.7 HO) if it comes in with botched interior trim, seats, paint, etc. I am going to go with a 2500 AT4X. I hate the android infotainment and the comfort of GM seats is lacking. I love Ford but I don't want to spend X amount of money...

    2024 build date???

    I didn't take delivery of either. I had quality issues on my 2022 so I knew if one issue was found over texted pictures who knew what I would find if I looked in person. They have released a bulletin to the dealers for an extra quality check. The rubber band has been on every Ford I've purchased.

    2024 build date???

    For what it's worth. I ordered 2 Raptors from 2 dealers. BOTH of them have now came in. One has what appears to passenger side seat airbag defect. The other showed up without the trim piece on the center console. I love Ford but if those clearly visible issues are leaving the factory I wonder...

    2024 build date???

    They didn't know. Wanted me to buy before they took the seat apart and attempted to fix the issue. I passed.

    2024 build date???

    My Raptor arrived today. It has a lump on the side airbag, curious to see how this is resolved if it can be.

    The 2024 37" Package Ripoff

    I should probably just order an R at this point. If I am going to pose, it should be top level.

    2024 build date???

    I never expect anything to arrive on time any longer. Many moons ago....in the time before, one could order a vehicle and it would be at the dealer in 12 weeks or under. I miss the old days. My truck is showing "built" so it should arrive in the next 8 weeks or so.

    OEM G3 Rear Under Seat Storage Retrofit Install

    I hate that the fold flat storage is now included in almost every option. It folds but its not flat. I had it on my 22' Raptor and now the Super Duty. I wouldn't have bought the Super Duty if I were still traveling with my dog frequently. It does secure my smaller Milwaukee packout cases...

    RAPTOR F150 vs RAPTOR BRONCO

    The 3.0L ecoboost is a giant PITA to work on. That's my only complaint, I think the Bronco is a great concept but it wouldn't be my choice.

    Current ford interest rates for raptor

    Prime rate is currently 8.5%. Raptor's typically do not qualify for any special promotions so I would say the cheapest from Ford Credit would be 9.4% at the absolute floor. 84 month loans are becoming more common.

    Back, again.

    No mistakes. I just wanted to try other vehicles. Life is far too long to not have what you want. I can't give honest comparisons on a forum if I didn't actually utilize the vehicles.:D Since I was last active on here we have another child (2 will be my final answer) moved from NC to VA to be...

    Back, again.

    I sold my 2022 Raptor because it had several unrealistically repairable cosmetic issues like saggy leather, rips and possibly the most rust I've seen on any F-150. Went through 4 vehicles since mid 2022 and now I'm in my 2023 F250 6.7 H.O. I only wanted the H.O. engine to ensure both girth and...

    What, if any, are your regrets with your Raptor?

    I had mine for 1100 miles. The build quality on my 22' Raptor was the worst of any vehicle I've purchased. -Factory bedliner overspray on both sides of the truck bed -entire undercarriage rusty, not just the differential -I had the "clunk" -dead cell in the battery So I regret the effort of...

    Possible Raptor R Spy pics.

    I noticed both an increase in length and girth when I drove off the dealers lot. I am now walking with a limp because my leg is heavy.

    Received Raptor R information from the dealer I bought my 37 from.

    I'm going to order mine in Rust Pearl, I think it will look great with the undercarriage!

    Is the market saturated??

    They have uneducated employees who don't realize if they choose not to order or sell new vehicles they cease to be a new car dealership. I wouldn't be surprised if some dealers that sit on large amounts of used inventory will go out of business due to loss of equity.

    Is the market saturated??

    I couldn't even get a GM dealer to take my money for a 2023 C8 this past weekend (they have an allocation coming) and we didn't even discuss pricing. I've seen quite a few dealers go more towards a used car dealership than interested in new sales.

    Anyone Experience Back Discomfort in Drivers Seat?

    Seats don't fit 100% of people. I think the GM twins have better seats than Ford but they don't make a better overall truck; if it's causing you discomfort then I would either find a specialist to adjust them or sell the truck

    It’s just slow

    Today you can get car for half the price of Raptor, tomorrow you can get car for 80% of the price of a Raptor.
