ya really cant go wrong with ANY color. I love em ALL. NEVER seen a RAPTOR I didnt like!! Not sure what I would have done without this forum. This wait since August 26th has been BRUTAL!!!

no kidding! It'll be a race to see which one of us gets ours 1st lol

Oh and speaking of which, I saw on my update from Randy, still scheduled for 16-Jan for the build, and in the system it shows 23-Jan for ETA. I asked Randy if they usually just stick 1 week in there as a rule of thumb/place holder, or if it was actually realistic. It'll be interesting to see. Right now my expectations are set for I want it by the 28th, if it comes any days sooner, it's an added bonus.

How so Pork? I am coming off 10 years of Chevys myself -

for one thing it is much wider(i drive tractor trailer for a living) there is so many set positions that it will take you a while to adjust it to your liking. i think this is my only issue. when i drive i like my seat very low,it doesn't feel comfortable in the raptor this way so i have to adjust to get it to my liking. but man o m,an what a truck the front camera is great and the rear camera is awesome also.i was surprised that the rear camera didn't beep when i was getting close to something.

Pork I agree about the rear camera. My wife has a 12 Explorer limited with the rear camera and it has the sonar back up alarm and the wheel guides on the screen. I was surprised the raptor does not have the backup alarm and guides like the explorer or even my previous Ford dually had a camera and backup alarm.

Congrats again on finally picking up your truck.
