2024 F-150

Of all the changes made, most are really nice, especially when you looking at the custom build site. My biggest gripe is that they got rid of the Code Orange color and introduced Shelter Green as the Raptor only color, but for the Raptor R you get Code Orange stitching, Code Orange "beauty rings" for the outside of the rims. They kept it on other 2024 truck sizes, like the Ranger. Why couldn't they keep it? I hate that green, it just doesn't look good. I was really wanting to get that Code Orange color. It may be my anger for dropping the Code Orange but I see that green and it reminds me of a bad case if diarrhea. I'm sure some will like it. They made Carbonized Gray available to most other trims and not just privy to the Raptor R. I love all of the other upgrades though.

Yeah I get it. I had a Platinum for a short while with BlueCruise. It was nice, but GM SuperCruise works better. Well at least until it tried killing me. It was so bad I wish I had a dash cam it probably would have been picked up by national news outlets.

I’ll probably still use it on long flat highways like I-70, but I’m done with it for other highways.

But back to your main point, I don’t see why the Raptor can’t have it. Maybe the lack of sensors on the side? The Platinums have a side sensor that the Raptor doesn’t.

Raptor is too wide to use Bluecruise, the calibration is not precise enough for a vehicle that is already over size by NHTSA standards is my guess.

I was told there was an issue between trail turn assist and blue cruise. The two systems couldn't co-exist so blue cruise was credited back to trucks like mine

I could accept trail turn, but truck being to wide isn’t something that enhanced tech couldn’t overcome. Still I imagine both could be perfected if Ford chose to. It is an on and off road truck in reality. I guess the Lightning gets all the glory now lol

That is for the engine not assembly, no change from last year.

Yeah, this too, who else would no this but a Ford Salesman? If you read all his posts he knows stuff no normal Raptor owner would know. Lol!

Haha I could probably do pretty well as a sales guy based on my last few dealer experiences. Sadly just a Ford guy originally from SE Michigan.

To recap 13 pages of complaining.
People are upset they no longer have the most current cosmetics of a trucks whose underpinnings haven't changed in 6 years.
People are upset that Ford's flag ship truck continues to get more expensive.
Ford continues to add off-road capability that >5% of buyers will use.
People are upset that colors have been added and dropped....
Basically, people are upset, that for the first time across all three generations of Raptors, the GEN 3 Raptor is having a mid-generation "refresh" offering different colors and more expensive options?!? As many fathers have said to theirs sons, "hello mcfly"...
Dummies clearly Ford has done the least amount of work possible to generate change in an attempt to make more money from an already finite truck segment.

As far as pricing goes, I built my same truck as a 24 on the Ford site and it came out as the same sticker price, not exact, but both were 81k.

I’ll keep my 22.

Still no wheel well liners. Crazy how you get a 90k+ truck, then have to buy a set of liners or a can of spray liner, just to keep it from looking like a plain Jane work truck. Most trucks come standard with them, and I think Ford used to back in the day.

Their reply would be- “well sir we are the only company that’s making all aluminum bodied trucks that won’t rust/pit like steel & the materials cost 3-4x comparable steel body sheet & is 2-3x lighter….so technically you don’t need fender liners on our trucks”

And it's good for the planet! Seriously, those who want liners can install them. Those who want Line-X can put it on. Those who don't care save a few pennies. Win/win/win.
