Ok thanks for that. I hope they honor their word but we all know how dealers can be.
Anyone Recognize this FL Gen 1 (2014)?

There's more to it than "just strapping it to a tree and backing up".

You can tell that by the photo? Maybe the bumper bolts can be loosened to adjust it. Either way, that little gotcha is negligible to me.
I've done it twice before, couldn't tell afterward.

You're experienced. He is not. Adjust it to the right, then the left side will look wrong. It needs to be pulled out to its original position. To straighten it, the bumper bolts should be left tight.

I have plenty of experience working on cars, but admittedly no experience with body work. Just want to be sure Im not overlooking something on what seems to be a relatively easy repair (if not for me then for someone else).
Ill be crawling under the truck with my flashlight to check behind the bumper and everything else under the truck.

Well good luck. As long as the bumper isn't creased somewhere, I'm sure it'll be workable. I have faith in you!

Or have to dealer buy you an aftermarket front bumper from SVC.

I agree about finding a used bumper or an aftermarket option. It doesn’t look too bad from here.
Those factory bead locks are sweet!
Make sure you check for rust in rockers and cab corners. No mater if it’s southern vehicle.
Run the air conditioning/ heat. Make sure no clicking of blend door actuator.
Try 4 wheel drive, including 4 low. My truck was from GA. Most likely not off road much. My differential motor was glitchy and 4wd engagement was hit or miss. Easy diy repair.

Good luck. The more trucks you look at the better you’ll be….

WoW, that's clean! Thanks for the tips. The last one I looked at had 4wd issues too.
I've actually owned a 12th gen FX2 for the last 11 years so I'm pretty familiar with these trucks, although it's great to hear about the specifics to the Raptor.
Heading out shortly and hopefully returning with a new ride!
