I was watching this video comparing a 19 Raptor to a 19 Limited and both have yellowish coolant seen at about 10:15.

Ford does not and has never used "pink" coolant. However the factory fill of orange Dexcool does look pink when diluted. So anything that looks pink gets the orange.

I just purchased an off the lot 2019 Raptor in Performance Blue and I noticed that the coolant is Yellow. All of the videos I've seen on YouTube show it as being Orange. The standard F150 manual does say Motorcraft Yellow but the Raptor supplement says Orange.

Is it possible they have made a change or do you think my truck was improperly filled at the factory?

Anybody who's taken delivery in the last month, please check yours and let me know what you've got.

Thanks

Why does it matter?

Why does it matter?

Because it could mean the dealer damaged something or the truck was damaged in some way and needed to be drained and refilled. Just an observation by OP I'm sure.

Never thought of that good point.
