2022 Order JUST put in

[smurfslayer]

Did not order locally. They want to much over MSRP here so I found a dealership in Daytona Beach, FL that let me order at MSRP. I'll either fly down and drive it back or have it shipped. Interested how it'll be to drive a Raptor in NOVA.

Even Front Royal Ford?

I know the bubble stealerships think they’re selling trucks with platinum infused paint or something....

So, driving a Raptor in NoVA has its privileges. Like a sea of brake lights ahead; wait for a break, hop the curb to avoid the collision and ensuing backup, backtrack and move on with life while peasants in their volvo/merc/bmw/hundai/etc sit, stewing in their own thoughts awaiting the end of the backup, you are happily on your way elsewhere.

Stupid drivers will still do stupid things around you, of course, but you will be less concerned about it. You should invest in an air horn or train horn however. The stock Raptor horn is WEAK. I got a Marco direct drive air horn kit and it’s significantly louder. Not train horn loud, but very good and more effective.

Welcome aboard! We have basically the same truck ordered. I ordered my Raptor mid December: Atlas blue, 801A, carbon fiber package, power tailgate/moonroof, and the Pro Power.

Just got a call back from the dealer and it seems as thought the "Power Tech Package" no longer comes with the Pro Power 2k. For 2022 they merged the moon roof with the power tailgate and so if you want the power tailgate you also have to get the moonroof. I don't prefer the moonroof and don't feel like spending extra money for something I don't really want. Disappointed in that, but otherwise, can't wait!

I hear ya on the sea of brake lights. I used to have a Charger Hellcat and it was frustrating not being able to exercise her properly with all the traffic. I'm hoping with the Raptor to take her out of the city and do a little exploring and camping.

I'll start looking into horns now that you mention it. Nothing like a big bad truck rolling behind someone doing 5 under and then you hear a puny horn. Thanks for that tip!

Yeah I really like the power tailgate, sometimes those somewhat gimmicky features get me. So I decided I'd get the moonroof even though I didn't want it that much. I wish they kept the 21 power tech package as is. Oh well.

Oh @CoronaRaptor you had to mention something like that. The sorry thing is, I do see people alone in a car masked up and driving along. And nope there not all Uber or Lyft drivers.

Welcome aboard! At least you set your delivery expectations relative to actual reality. But who knows, maybe it will deliver sooner. Should make for a nice rig with those packages. Anyway start researching mods and daydreaming about it.

So...you don't wear your mask while driving with the windows rolled up??

totally agree. I never use my moonroof on my 18'. now I am forced to get it again. all for the power tailgate and step.

Only when the windows are down

1st world problems? Lol. Now didn’t you expect Ford to package it with a highly wanted feature? They always do that.

What is pro power?

 

[RamseyF]

The onboard 2k generator.

and yes it makes sense to package together. I assume people who get one generally get the other. not to mention there has to be a cost savings for them otherwise all options would be separated. obviously the blue seats and 37's didnt work out so well for them. either the lack of blue seats are causing problems for production. or ford finally ate thru most of their blue seat inventory. I know a lot of people like them but I have to guess not nearly as many people that don't like them.
