New 2025 some questions…

[dsa6953]

Good morning Just picked up my new baby. Love it but have some questions. On my old 22 lariat to accept a call or hang up i had a button the steering wheel. Is there away to do that with out touching the screen? Also my truck did not have the cleats on the box links should they have come with it. Last what is the little compartment in the pickup bed?
Thanks
Dave

Don't have a 2025 but on my 24 there is no button on the steering wheel for answering the phone like my 20 had. I have to answer the phone by the touch screen. Yes, you should have gotten the cleats with the truck, mine came with them but they were the wrong ones, so I just ordered some off of Amazon, they work fine. The little compartment on the passenger side of the bed is just a little storage area. Pretty worthless but I do keep a tire inflator in there.

I really like the space white, based on the lighting it kind of changes color.

Can you post a picture of the button area above the screen and by the headlight knob? Curious to see the new layout. Also, you may have the revised bed cleats that do not have an attachment.

Congrats on the new Raptor. Post a side pic, never seen a Raptor in Space White.

It would not surprise me if bed cleats were not included anymore. Does it have the keyless entry on the pillar ???? Prepare for the questions, they are coming !

I picked up my '25 on New Year's Eve. I also didn't get any bed cleats, so I will be interested to hear if you get them.

Based on what I have read and watched, the two things that the '25 lost are the standard keypad, which is now a dealer installed option, and the lights surrounding the USB ports in the front compartment that houses the wireless charger. Some physical buttons we also moved or removed. The start/stop button is now on the left side of the steering wheel by the light controls. Most of the buttons that were above the center screen are now between the volume and tuning knobs. The only buttons still above the screen are parking assist and trail control. There is no physical button for pro power, which I understand used to exist. You have to use the screen to activate it. Finally, my keys don't have the Raptor battery cover. They just have the Ford blue oval.

None of the changes are a big deal to me. The Raptor still feels like a solid upgrade from my GMC AT4X outside of the leather quality on the seats.

The loss of the pillar keypad is the dumbest thing ford has done in awhile. And no included bed cleats. Come on. My R should be here in a week or so, looking forward to it.
