    So.......anyone try these. I might have to.

    Warning: this is gross: I cleaned up a death scene once where someone had bled out, and the home owner had just covered the spot with a towel. Let's just say "maggots".

    Mud Flaps for gen 3

    Thanks. Well, perfect stock except two new holes in the plastic on each side. That kind of thing bugs the crap out of me but I will practice some calming breaths. At least they didn't attach them very well - less holes.

    Mud Flaps for gen 3

    I made sure to get it in writing that they wouldn't attach any dealer bling to the vehicle, and I double checked with the sales guy that he remembered. The most charitable thing I can say about my experience with this dealership is that it has been "consistent", from the time I ordered in...

    Mud Flaps for gen 3

    Do mudflaps come stock with the 2024 802a? I originally thought that the dealer had added their bling to our mudflap, but I'm starting to get the hint that the truck didn't come with mudflaps to begin with. Other photos on the forum of new 2024's don't have them and they're not on the sticker...

    Catalytic Converter protection - 2024 802a

    I grew up in Maryland, but in Kensington. I went to jr high and high school in Bethesda, and left the state when I went to college. The only part of Rockville I knew was the White Flint Mall. But that area did look really nice.

    Catalytic Converter protection - 2024 802a

    I wouldn't dare write a question in a forum (any forum... any topic...) without searching first. I may be clueless about auto mechanics, but I'm not a complete blithering idiot just looking for abuse to be heaped upon my head. :) I really want to be able to use regular expressions in forum...

    Catalytic Converter protection - 2024 802a

    The reason this comes up is because I spent about 5 days at a hospice facility in what seemed like a decent part of Maryland (6001 Muncaster Mill Road Rockville, MD) keeping my dad company while he died. Sometime during that visit, somebody stole the cat off my mom's car which I had driven...

    New Trucks for Old People

    I wonder if it's coincidence that our new truck (which is so expensive that most buyers are going to be a bit on the older side) has much larger font than our old truck. My vision now is definitely nowhere near as good as it was in 2006, when we got the previous one.

    Catalytic Converter protection - 2024 802a

    Oh... I knew that... I was just testing everyone else. (Thanks!) So what are people doing about this?

    Catalytic Converter protection - 2024 802a

    I have searched the site and can't find this information, so I'd appreciate either some help or a pointer to where it's already been discussed. We just took delivery of a 2024 802a Raptor, and I'm wondering about protecting it from cat theft. This video seems be be saying the cats are tucked...

    2024 build date???

    Yesterday, our green dot went all the way back to "ordered", although it still showed 03/13 for "in production". And today it has shipped. The window sticker link is there, although when you click on it you get a screen saying the window sticker hasn't been produced, yet. I almost feel as if...

    2024 build date???

    I suppose I ought to stop checking the status every three minutes?

    2024 build date???

    Is the "In Production" date supposed to change? Ours has progressed from 03/04 to 03/13. I think it spent some time at 03/11.

    2024 build date???

    Our truck is in production! That means it'll be done ... uh.... this year? Maybe? I'm still super excited.

    2024 build date???

    If the same thing happens next year, which seems likely, it'll be new for a full year before 2025''***** the road.

    2024 build date???

    I called Ford at one point when I hadn't heard anything, and they had the order in. I'm not sure if that proves the dealer has an allocation, though. Perhaps somebody else could comment? Also, I also placed my order in September and the build didn't get scheduled for ages, until the dealer...

    It's an 802a with graphics delete.

    2024 build date???

    I put my order in September of 23. It was previewed in December, then crickets. A few weeks ago the dealer called the area rep and got the priority changed from 19 to 9, and it got scheduled shortly thereafter. I am wondering what it takes to get the priority bumped like that. I'm not in a...

    2024 build date???

    It has the moon roof. Maybe they preemptively took $6K off so it won't be sitting in the lot a year from now, like the 23's are doing? :)

    Can a 2023 stil be ordered?

    I thought about getting one with a moonroof and just not opening it. It seems like the leak occurs from use.

    Free Bed Rack in SF Bay Area. Local Only

    It was very nice of you to offer this rack up to folks. If you feel like it - can you answer a question just because I'm curious? Why did you bring spare wheels around with you? (edited later) Never mind - I was finally able to google an RST rack, so I understand. I was wondering if it was...

    2024 Raptor Order MSRP

    802a ordered from Mountain Home, ID Ford dealer at MSRP. The Boise dealers wouldn't do it. I ordered around September 20th. No email, but I called Ford and they have the order. Parts were previewed in December, but no build date. Q
