box Graphics vs Moonroof

[trailboss]

Did not have the moonroof on my 10' and missed it, my 12' has it and I love it! I live in Hells Acres (Arizona) and with the sunshade slid back, the black interior really opens up...Plus it will increase resale value where the box graphics will not.

I'm going with the moonroof on my 13. No graphics. Never had a moonroof before, but the raptor I test drove had one, and I liked it.

I'm no sun lover. My ancestors were Celts, and I get sunburned in 12 minutes. So I've never been a fan of glass above my head, or convertibles.

I do like the idea of using it & the rear window to pull a draft, and I know I'm a minority with disliking the sun.

I think I'll take the hit on potential resale and skip the moonroof on my order.

The box graphics don't look as good as they did on previous models. Wonder what they'll look like on the '13. Guess I'll find out when I take delivery of mine. Should be ordering soon.

wow !! great responses,
ive had cars i hated their moonroofs (leaks and humid stink)
and some i cut myself to have ragtop (don't ask i was 18)

i pulled the trigger on a 2013 without moonroof with graphics but got short time to add
or remove options,
moonroof is cheaper than box graphics too but raptor seems incomplete without graphics. cost is not an issue as im paying invoice on truck and options as well,
i guess i just don't want to regret cutting my roof if i had the option not to.

I'm an A/C guy and rarely run with the windows down so I opt against the moonroof. Plus I live in SoCal so who wants to suck in the smog . Finally, I am not a fan of cutting a hole in the roof as I prefer to have as much protection as possible should I ever roll it (I have 2 little girls that I have to protect!).

Bed graphics won't get ******* out the windows like a moon roof will!!! I've had a moon roof in every vehicle but my very first one so there is proof to that statement!

For a "ring mount" on the roof you got to have a hole first!

I would never pay to have a hole cut in a perfectly good roof.
No "rain roof" for me.
Additional weight of the moonroof is all top heavy weight.

Agreed! I will be ordering without a moonroof, but with box graphics.

I got the moon roof, when you open the rear window and pop up the moon roof, it creates a nice wind flow, even the wife's hair approves. And then on really nice days, nothing like having all the windows open and the air flowing. But this is coming from a guy who never liked or wanted the graphics.

This! ^

And also you can get the LLumar_UV_Window_Film_for_Truck_Drivers
That is what I'm installing on my front windshield and moon roof.

Order the moonroof. If it's a one or the other thing get the moonroof, and then after it comes in order graphics from Randy. Graphics are easy to add anytime a moonroof is not.
