LOL, that's hilarious. Yes, there are some of us left, actually as long as you don't live in Seattle or Portland you are fine. It's overall a great place to live, I'm well north east of Seattle Snohomish County.
Appreciate the warm welcome Raptor Forum!
Hmm this could get interesting I'm also in Snohomish and also have AMB, just grabbed an 802A few weeks ago after having Avalanche on my 23. Good luck keeping it clean with our weather!

Hello, new user checking in. Trading in the best truck I've ever owned, 2016 xlt 302a w/2.7. Did Katskins, Kicker System, Raptor steering wheels and fuel wheels / Nitto Ridge Grapplers. 63k trouble free miles but I decided to treat myself and wanted an upgraded interior and always wanted a Raptor.

Ordered a 801a AMB and only add on is the twin panel sunroof, didn't see the value of the 37" package personally.

Should land in a month or so, excited to be part of this forum! I noticed the F150 forums Raptor section is dead so came here.

Wish me luck keeping the AMB clean! I will always miss my Blue Flame F-150 though!

Thanks,
Congrats on the new truck!

I loved the Antimatter blue in the showroom, but under those big lights, I was seeing fingerprints and every little speck of dust. My old Blue Jeans Metallic 2015 f150 was a little tough to keep clean, but still looked good after 220k and over 100 drive thru car washes. I buckled under and got Avalanche and only wash it every month or two. If mine wasn't a daily driver with no garage, I'd have gotten the AMB. Congrats on the purchase.

I ordered that exact same truck in December. Came in 10 days ago. Love it. Taking it to my place in Montana. It will never be clean. :)

Lots of WA state representation! Yes, regarding the comment on AMB, I'm equally excited and scared. I enjoy washing my vehicles, it's like therapy for me but I feel this this color may get the best of me. I really liked my blue flame truck, cool color and actually kind of hit dirt fairly well. I'm swearing off white vehicles in this state forever.
I figure I'm going to give it a really good clay and wax when I get it to help make future washes easier.
Anyone have experience in PPF? I haven't done it before but kind of thinking about it for this truck.
Thanks all,

Yes. I have the front of my superduty PPF'ed. Good shop out of Kirkland. You are welcome to take a look.

After the wax, you can cermic coat the truck and that will help. You will still see quite a bit, but it helps.
