nobody wants to make you have buyer's remorse. you got a Raptor, that's all that really matters.

No remorse here, not like we had this one built for ourselfs. The Nav can always be added. The dealer did say that the only feature that was missing was the Nav, is this true?
.
The extras where:
--6.2L
--Power moonroof/power mirrors/skull cap
--graphics package
--bed extender
--tailgate step
--rear view camera

Hey Cleveland, one of my favorite hidden features is the Fox Shocks shock perch mod. I went to the top perch and am so much happier with the look and feel of the new stance. Are you familiar with that adjustment yet?

I am familiar with that from motorcycles. Are they the same stlye adjustment? If so, did you do softer or harder? How many clicks? What difference did it make? Is this in the owners manual?

No we do not have this feature :( I figured he was not correct. After looking here >>> http://www.ford.com/f150raptor/ I see that now. I will say that I do like the seats we have and they are power. So are the mirrors. In the end would be nice to have but not a deal breaker.

-- The graphics have to come off, so that was a waisted feature.

Ouch. That was an expensive waste. I just figured you liked them.

Well damb, looks like I will have to look for someone selling one ;) Anyone have a part number?

A word of caution - my Raptor came with the premium sound system instead of the Nav, but the sales guy threw the Nav install in with the deal.
So they put in a "Nav" system about 2 months after I got the truck, and while some of the features work and are useful, others don't.
- As much as it says Ford all over it, I overheard the installer say it was an aftermarket model.
- The premium sound system (amp, speakers) was meant to be run from the Sony deck. With the Nav, there is a lot of annoying sound and vocal distortion.
- The rear backup camera cannot (according to the dealer) be hooked to the Nav screen and only shows up in my rear view mirror. This sucks because it was the main reason I wanted the Nav - to see better while in reverse off-roading.

Aside from that, oh, and the travel/traffic features don't work in Canada lol, I do like it and would still recommend it to anyone. The Jukebox is pretty user friendly, and having the actual navigation system located in the dash/console is much better than those people I see driving down the road with a TomTom suction cupped to the front window!

I was hoping someone would ask that question ;) This is a business vehicle and graphics will be added, kinda like we did below ....... We will be taking them both to trade shows. We want people to stop in our booth, and these two fine machines will do just that !!

I figured that, that is why I asked about the same exact model used by ford. I bet the back up feature would work using that one. We will see if a used one shows up.

don't forget DVD player. :D
Man you can play DVD's on the nav?
