My 6.2 Raptor has arrived!

[AuPanda]

Congratulations! While we waiters are sorry to lose some one of your caliber, you are in a better place now.

It even has a oh **** handle on the passenger side.
Installed my WeatherTech Floor mats, stubby antenna and BlendMount for my radar detector, but I ran into a issue with the invisa cord, the rear view mirror does not have a 10 pin connector, it's a 7 pin connector, I located the blue wire w/red stripe for the red wire on the invisa cord but I could not figure out which pin location is the ground for the green wire on the invisa cord, one of the wires going into the 7 pin connector is solid black I suspect that is the ground wire but I want to make sure before I install the invisa cord, anybody have any information on which is the ground wire for the 7 pin connector?
Getting bed line-x'd tomorrow am then have a 1pm appointment to get the windows tinted, then when I get home I'll install the tonneau cover, mud guards, and weathertech window visors and console vault.
This truck is awesome!

Congrats man! Sounds like both of us hot jackpot today

Oh yeah, and here's a pic of the Al Gore window sticker. LOL
Maybe I should send a pic of it to Al and tell him to put this in his pipe and smoke it!:mrgreen:

Actually.... I was thinking some place different than his pipe....

Got my windows tinted, bed is line-x'd, installed the tonneau cover, installed piaa super silicone wiper blades, installed console vault, installed swing case storage boxes in the bed & threw in a bed mat.
Tomorrow I'm installing the mud guards and then in about 3 days after the window tint cures I'll install the weathertech in channel window visors then I'll take some more pictures of all the goodies I put on the truck.
Bedded my brakes when I took delivery of the truck, the breaks on this truck really whoa it down in a hurry.
Like SOCO said in his thread, the truck really likes to cruise around 80 and it seems like 55, it's amazing, it rides and handles so good!
I took delivery of the truck with 35 miles on it, also got a little certification card saying it was driven 35 miles for quality assurance, it's got about 300 miles on it now.
I've been a tad heavy on the gas pedal breaking it in semi hard I suppose, but it's just plain fun to do, right now my average gas milage is 10.6 mpg, once I ease off the hard accelerations from stop signs and stop lights the mpg will get better and also when I get about 3000 miles on it that will be the true test of how good of milage it will get, but I didn't buy this truck for the milage! lol
What I have noticed today while driving around, when I pass people coming the opposite direction on the road I get ALOT of thumbs up and waves now lol, there's also alot of lifted 4x4 trucks in the area I live in and it's funny to watch them just look in awe at my truck when I drive by. hehehehe
Did I mention the Raptor is AWESOME? lol
I ran the A/C all day today, but there were a few times that I shut it off at stop lights just to see how much better the acceleration is with no A/C on, and man let me tell you it's a BIG difference!

Oh yeah, I have not taken it off road yet but I'm definetly looking foward to seeing how the off road mode does.

Congrats GTS and I would like to say that I hope it is everything you wanted it to be, but I already know the answer! LOL!

Thanks for keeping us updated GTS...and remember, no detail is too small since I haven't even driven one yet. Reading the excitement in your words has kind of convinced me to hold the course and wait for my Raptor!

That bar is on your A-pillar right? Not above the door?

Sounds like you are really enjoying your truck. Thanks for the periodic updates GTS.

 

[frogslinger]

Did the raptor not have a handle above the door or on the A piller...

You can clearly see the one on the a pillar in this video...

Yeah it's on the A-pillar and it's a beefy handle too.

Just finished washing it up for the first time, now I'm going to clay bar it then wax it, that should take a while, lol there's alot of sq. ft. of paint to do. I'll probably do the bed this evening then finish the rest tomorrow.
