Need help with 2017 Options

[AndyR]

Just back from the dealer - the order banks did open today - yea. But...... there are two options for seats - Black Leather and Raptor Orange - the highlight options are different for each one.

Anyone have pics of the orange seats? I'm assuming they're like the original orange ones.....

Currently I'm at $70630.00

The standard wheels look to be the machined aluminum finish shown on a few auto show trucks. I was really hoping that the base wheels would be available in either the charcoal grey color or black.

Does anyone have any confirmation on the base wheels other than the photo above?

No. There are two options for seats, Raptor Leather Black & Raptor Orange. Each comes with an accent package.

Did not know that. What is that option called? I think I missed it on the list.

Or are you saying the orange accents give you orange seats and carbon fiber option gives you black seats?

I could be wrong, but it's my understanding that the beadlock capable wheels are black and the standard wheels are one of a few things.

The beadlock capable ones are definitely black, with the beauty ring being a dark gun metal. Seen here: https://www.raptorparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/2017-ford-raptor-wheels-tires.jpg

As far as the standard set, I've seen three different types. Black, gun metal, and aluminum. The aluminum sets were only seen early in the pre-production/testing phases and on renderings and the blue Raptor that was on display at NAIAS. This was probably when Ford was undecided on finish, and when those wheels were first made, they didn't care about the finish right away. Seen here: http://media.caranddriver.com/image...50-raptor-inline1-photo-665282-s-original.jpg

The darker gun metal is the most popular finish for the standard wheels. Seen on almost every color option. I believe these will be the completed finish when the truck is released. They don't look half bad in my opinion. Seen here: http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/ima...aps-s-c-v8-for-v6-ecoboost-live-photos_22.jpg

And finally, I have seen the standard set in black as well. Not as common, and also maybe early in the production stage when Ford didn't have a gun metal finish yet. Seen here on the Raptor daily driven by Greg Foutz: http://www.addictivedesertdesigns.c.../2016/02/2017-ford-raptor-in-shadow-black.jpg

And here in a photo of a Raptor in Michigan: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/atta...017-raptor-color-options-ford-dealer-fb02.jpg

You could argue that those are the dark gun metal color as well, but they appear black to me. But again, I think the final finish on the standard pack will be the dark grey, and the beadlocks will be black with a dark grey beauty ring.

Or you could just be a trail blazer and go with Methods. I haven't seen that done very much. Could look cool?

There are two options for seats. Raptor Leather, or Raptor Orange. The Accent Package for each has a different code. This is different from the Carbon Fiber Overlay AFAIK.

I was watching over the shoulder of my dealer as she was entering the options in the system.

I was like - eh? So asked here.

Ok I am confused. I see the orange interior. There is also a black interior? I understand they are two different 'packages' but otherwise than the color is there any difference in package?

What are the details of each 'package' ?

Any details?

Thanks for posting all that. These are the wheels that I really want (base wheels in dark gray):


These are the ones that I want to avoid, even if it means ordering beadlocks instead:

Methods are cool, but not my thing. If anyone confirms the color/finish of the base wheels, please post here. Thanks in advance!
