She's a beauty. I'm still debating the cost of ceramic coating for my new 2023 in Code Orange. Leaning toward it as I'm in Colorado with snow, sand and salt.

There was no graphics package ordered on this truck. I see that a lot of 35 package trucks don't have graphics. I have seen some some 37 package rapid red's on the forum with graphics. I don't know what to tell you about the 35 package and why a lot of them don't seem to have graphics. I think both the graphics package and non-graphic package trucks look great. You can't go wrong either way.

I also live in Nova Scotia where the roads are heavily salted in the winter. I also live about 500m from the Atlantic Ocean, so the air also has some salt content. I highly recommend the ceramic coat, particularly in similar winter conditions. Keeping the truck clean over the winter required minimal effort. I would just try to power wash it as often as I could when the weather permitted. The coating facilitated that being quite easy and quick. I will be ceramic coating any other vehicle that comes into our family moving forward. In my experience, it's been nothing but beneficial, espicaly for those who enjoy cleaning their vehicle regularly.

I've also been getting some nice mileage on the highway on some road trips where the truck was not heavily loaded up.

A couple of updated photos...

Thanks, my Rapid Red is on order with a deposit, without graphics. It has been built. I ask the dealer if they would install the graphics. I am not sure this is a good idea. My wife thinks the graphics are designed wrong she wants the Raptor name portion to be further back.
I also have a 37 on order from another dealer, it has graphics, but the dealer has no allocations and it has been 11 months. I bought my GT500 from them, they did not want a deposit, looking back I can see why.

The 37 is 600 miles away, but if it was to get a vin # I would wait for it. Oh well, you take what you can get, by the way, both orders are at MSRP.

Just purchased rapid red 37 with graphics. Having a few accessories added so won’t be able to get it delivered from out of state. Did pay $5000 ADM, but getting what you want has a price for these. Still have my gen 1 but excited ti have a gen 3.

My rapid Red is coming this week, I hope. It is on the truck. I plan to add graphics to it.
