Build a 2018 Raptor on ford.com

[DrippinRaptor]

Chatted with Matt from FP yesterday and asked why RubyR isn't on the configurator. He said because it just barely came up and they are still tweaking it as RubyR is definitely listed in the order guide. I posted this in another thread (someone else clued me in). But take the configurator with a grain of salt.

3.5 V8 sounds awesome!

First, as a owner of a '17 RR, I hope your wrong. I think it would be awesome to have Ruby Red only available on the last year of the Gen1 and the 1st year of the Gen2.

That said, I agree that the configurator is usually plagued with inaccuracies when they first launch it, but that has always been limited to:
Misspellings
Grammar errors
Package options not assigning the equipment properly
Image representation not accurate

I've never seen them completely omit a color. Especially one that was available the previous model year and is still in the system for other trim levels.

I don't always trust the order guide either. The 2017 order guide did not list the interior accent package as available with Lightning Blue, but the configurator did. Order guides often are put together before the trucks color and options are finalized. They usually have more than one revision during the MY. While I know there are people that have ordered RR '18s, but until I see one, I'm still skeptical. There is nothing that says Ford can't come back and say "Sorry not doing Ruby Red, pick a different color." As for the guy that said he saw one at the factory, they built a Race Red '17 and even sent it around to dealers/shows but you couldn't get one in that color in '17. Besides, pics or it didn't happen.

I mean this in the nicest way possible...**** you! But seriously though, I had an order on a 17 in RR, but due to a ******** dealer my order didn't go through. So I ordered an 18 5/17. Here I sit VINless while other people that ordered in June/July have VINs/trucks produced/in transit. I knew full well that RR was late availability, but that's the color I want. Now you're here wishing I get ****** even further because you want some sort of exclusivity? That's ****** up dude.

Let me start by saying "I mean this in the nicest way possible" is just a way to try to sound like less of a ****. If you want to say **** you, then just say it. Don't try to make it more palatable. I get it, you're mad, but lets try to focus your anger in the right place.

I don't know you and never mentioned you or said I hope you don't get your truck. I had nothing to do with your 2017 order falling through. If Ford decides to drop Ruby Red for 2018, again, not anything I can control. Does it benefit me, if they do? Yes. Will it have a negative impact on other people? Yes. Should I not hope for something I want? Have you ever bought a lottery or raffle ticket? Did you want to win? Wouldn't that then mean other people don't win? Did you get pissed off at the person who won if it wasn't you? Welcome to life. Sometimes things don't go your way. And sometimes they do. Lighten up. Maybe I'm wrong, but if not, you can still get a Raptor in a different color. It's not like I wished for you to get a STD or that you get fired or some other horrible thing.

No where in this did you make any sense. It doesn't need to be explained that you were not part of me getting screwed by the dealer or can control Ford. I put that out there to give context to what your wish would do if it came true. You've put way to much thought in trying to justify your ******** wish, that maybe you didn't deserve my **** you in the nicest way possible.

Every part of my post was clear. I have no connection to your issues, yet you want to be mad at me. Now you want to backtrack and offer some kind of half ass apology that involves calling me a "********".


That seems like a very strange way to apologize. What makes my "******** wish " any different from the examples I gave? Everyone who wants to win the lottery is a "********" too I suppose?

Look, I'm not sure what your issue is, but stop trying to subtly mask it in you posts. Just come out and say it.

I can respect that.

In no way shape or form did I backtrack or attempt to apologize. Your lottery or raffle comparison are so nonsensical they didn't need to be addressed. Your connection to my issue is that you're wishing me ill will. Of which I gave you a polite **** you.

Why in the hell would I inquire with FP why RR wasn't on the configurator for 2018? Hmmm, maybe because I ordered RR and wanted their insight? Not to mention, not a few posts above that I clearly stated that I ordered RR. Then you come in with your "I hope you're wrong because I think it would be cool..." BS. My "anger" is squarely set on you for your statements and wish. There are no thinly veiled insults in any of my posts and I'm not being subtle. Again with all due respect, **** you!

Ok that last part is a thinly veiled insult, as you are due no respect for being a *******...couldn't help myself.

Now that you've displayed your true character, let me extend the level of respect that you have earned:

Eat a bag of *****.



If I'm right, and Ford drops RR for 2018, I'll be twice as pleased, knowing you won't get it. In fact I now hope your 2018 order falls through as well. Your a ******** and I'd hate think about someone like you driving the same kind of truck, much less the same color.

You couldn't be anymore childish. You wish ill will on me and others and you think I'm the bad guy here? I haven't witnessed this level of brattiness since kindergarten. You're quite a ****.

I stated my opinion and nothing more. Does my wish have a negative impact an someone else? Yes. That's usually how it works. You made it personal and took it to this level. Now that we're here, you want to call it childish. Simply admit that you ****** up and over reacted and we can move on . Otherwise, **** off.
