2017 Raptor Twin Panel Moonroof or Not?

[mcasseba]

What your guys thoughts on the new twin panel moonroof option? Will this be an option of choice for new raptor?

Nope ... Last 4 cars have had them and they have stayed closed 99.9% of the time. I hate the sun beating down on me, and I never keep it open.

If I lived in a cooler climate (IE: The Pacific Northwest) ... I'd probably consider it a bit more. Here in the South, no thanks.

Haven't decided. All 3 of my vehicles have moon roofs and I open them maybe twice a year. It's nice to have the option I guess even though I never use it.

I've owned two Raptors, a 12 and a 14. Both came with moonroofs - didn't really have an option since those were the only ones available. Every time I think about it and look at the cost I think this wasn't worth it. And then, once in a great while I notice that I'm out in the desert and stand up to see out the damn thing when I stopped and know it was a great way to see a long ways out without having to get out, get in the bed to see.

Just something to break, leak, forget open, and it's also very noisy. I prefer the extra head room and silence for a solid roof.

After owning one I can't imagine not owning one. Too hot during the day so the cover stays on but that's ok I go out in the evening and the feeling of openness is something I couldn't live without and during the rain it's better than a metal roof. My kid loves it for the car wash when they squirt the birthday party colored foam all over my ride.

Moonroof all day...

I'm asking myself a lot of these questions right now, too. I've decided against the moon roof at this point to free up space for mounting a shotgun in the overhead. Might do a little to maintain a little bit of torsional rigidity, too.

I decided that a twin panel moonroof does not belong on an off-road truck plus if you read the f150 forums they tend to rattle. The baja truck excludes it along with giant ford letters on tailgate.

Pano roof? Hell yes! Plus my little one loves to be able to see out when she is in the carseat.
