Just picked up my ebony black 2011 Supercrew

Japan hurricane created a supply issue with NAVs and tuxedo black paint. That's a little Raptor trivia for ya'll!

I was told that it wasn't the hurricane but the tsnumai that slowed up the nav for 2011. The owners waited as they wanted every option and took delivery at end of 2011.

It is Ebony on the sticker and a funny side note: He bought a 2013 as he has an amazing collection of cars and trucks. He bought site unseen and had it delivered. When he got, it was tuxedo black and was bummed. He really thought it was going to be a non-metallic black.

I know from owning a lot of black and black metallic, silver and grey vehicles that there are trade offs on all fronts. My seal grey car really hides the flaws but doesn't quite have the dramatic effect of the black.

As far as mods go, my cousin tells me since putting in a K&N filter he is getting 17 mpg? Could that be right?

I am also looking at a tonneau cover, probably a bak flip or bak roller.

maybe I should post elsewhere but just noticed one of the sponsors...fold a cover.

Not only are they on the site but they are in Michigan (where I grew up) and would like to support them.

Any comparisons to the BAK industries products?

Well looks like My Raptor has a twin. Im one of the only ones with a ebony black no nav Raptor. And thanks to Japan to decide to suddenly become underwater, I didnt get a nav screen!

But in all seriousness my condolences go out to the lost lives and lost homes and businesses

anyways welcome to the raptor life and mod addiction!

Welcome to the forum!

Congratulations on the new truck! If I can help with a BakFlip let me know. I am offering awesome pricing on them for the time being.
