2018 Leadfoot came home today

[Rapfan]

Got my 2018 Today after months of waiting. Loving the color the more I stare at it.

Was really thinking I was going to immediately get new Method wheels but these have grown on me today.

Pretty pumped at the Carbon fiber interior.

Only qualm is that the rear tires seems to have gone out of round or got a flat spot during shipping/sitting, or there is something else funny going on in the rear end. I asked the dealer to re-balance the tires and they said balance was good but confirmed wheels needed to be worn in a bit. Let's see if things settle down.

Anyone else experience this?

Check your pressure on all the tires

Congrats enjoy the new truck! Keep that wallet handy you're going to need it for the mods

And if something's wrong with the rear end don't let the dealership give you a line of crap. Maybe one of the tires is bad stay on them you paid a lot you deserve good service!

Beautiful truck! Congrats, I am liking the color more and more as well. Still playing the waiting game on mine ordered 7/24. Just curious when did you place your order? The tires should wear in after a few miles would be my guess.

Very nice! I really like the Leadfoot color... especially with the tailgate aplique, I think it looks really sharp.

Raptor looks great! Hope the tire issue goes away.

Thanks! Yeah once you see it in person it makes a huge diff.
I ordered early July, and added th carbon fiber a few weeks later.
My truck was delayed 3 weeks from scheduled delivery as it was stuck on a losing dock in MI.

I've heard from another friend that ordered his around the same time that Ford ran out of the bead lock wheels so that's put a hold on production of those trucks. So if you don't have a VIN assigned yet that could be the issue. I'd push your dealer for more info as I got weekly updates from my dealer.
Hope that helps, but boy is it a long wait.

Thanks! Yeah already have a wish list on wheels and front bumper and lift. Just going to enjoy it stock for a bit before I pull some triggers as man are the parts pricey
