2019 Raptor Intel

[Raptor911]

My truck was built on 10/24 and I am still waiting on shipping. Can't Ford put gates on either end of the lot? Have they ever heard of a back door? GRRRRRR!

If it was built on 10/25, it's gotta be pretty near the back of the lot. With OK to buy only happening a week ago, it's doubtful the lot has been cleared yet.

no trucks will be scheduled due to Thanksgiving this Thursday. It will resume on 11/29. Trucks are scheduled every thursday.

So assuming we get scheduled 11/29, typically how long out is the build date from scheduling? and is this two week factory shut down a real thing?

Looks like there may be a real chance it doesnt get built till January, which I am ok cause, I gotta pay Uncle Sam Quaterly Taxes on 1/15. And ill get a chance to file my taxes by Feb 1st.

Had a great year at the office, hence the Raptor. Being on the other side of filing taxes Will ensure qualifying for the loan lol

No way, is that Mike Brown in Granbury? If so I got a picture of my 17 in that exact spot. Also if so I'm going need to see your truck lol

There is no specified time between scheduling and the actual build date. And I don't think there is a 2-week shutdown. I would imagine they are off Thu-Friday. They are not scheduling new builds only to catch-up after losing 2 days from this week.

The Raptor really holds its value well. Most cars tank after a few years but the Raptor does not. You will not be disappointed.

Drove great, I have had a lot of vehicles but I like this one the most. I had a G Wagon supercharged, 911 and an SL63. No previous Raptors. Sweeeet Truck. Interior and exterior colors look great.

How are the Seats!m? Well bolstered?

How intense looking is the interior blue? I'm still on the fence in whether to go with the Recaro's

I saw some of the preview pictures that almost looked bright blue, they were much more subdued. Cooling and heating worked well with the alcantra.

I thought they had great support. First Raptor I have spent any time in though. Heated, cooled lumbar etc.

Agreed. I'm trading my 17 on a 19 and I'm getting close to $60k on the trade...after 26 months of ownership....that's not bad at all.

So, with the new shocks, does anyone know if the fronts are similar to the old front shocks? Would like to keep my RPG Offroad perch collars....but no sense in taking them off if the shock bodies are different.
