Crawled under the truck today, dont care what anyone says but this rust its not acceptable, its pretty bad in some areas will post pictures tomorrow, also did some research, going to get a baking soda blaster and blast the rust away then seal the bottom with a coat of AMSOIL HD MP. Will post results.

Are the two (2) buttons to the immediate left of the headlight knob used to lower and raise the tailgate from inside the cab?

Yes

I also noticed there is an option for auto fold mirrors. They fold when you lock it.

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.

I just picked up my 2025 Raptor Space White last night too! I too came from a AT4x with the baby Duramax. Nice truck, it just didn't compare to my previous Raptors. Good to be back! I was on here looking to see if anyone else had the missing cleats for the box system and the "regular" key as well. I'm still going to call my Salesman and ask. I will let you know what they tell me.

I literally also traded in an 1500 at4x aev with the Duramax for a 37 package oxford 25 Raptor. Regular key here, and no cleats for box system.

So I asked the dealer to order the parts to get the Keypad installed on the doors pillar, he quoted me around $350 for parts the trim and the buttoms/keypad itself.. Then he went ahead and said they dont know if there is a plug and play port underneath the door to install the keypad... he said they would charge me around $700-1000 for the labor to MAYBE get it installed succesfully.. not including the parts.. what a joke.

Sound system - I noticed than the front door speakers only plays the lows, you cant hear the mids (vocals) or highs\, asked the dealer about it and we compared it to another truck with the same sound system and apparently thats the way its designed to help with "power consumption" my 2018 gen 2s sound system sounded so much better/balanced. anyone know of a fix or work around to get the 2 front speakers to sound like the back door speakers?
