Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

[franky16]

Sorry for the delay y'all, had to pick the wife up from the airport this morning. Snapped a couple of pics when we stopped for lunch on the way home and once home in the daylight this time lol.
My initial impressions have far exceeded my expectations. Everything about the driving experience is nice and tight, similar to that of an Audi, BMW, etc... The power is immense!! I'm still babying her until I hit a thousand miles and haven't even come close to doing any full pulls, but it's extremely responsive, smooth, and will easily pin you to your seat with less than half throttle punches (my wife said stop launching this thing at every light to which I responded that wasn't even half throttle lol. She was super impressed to say the least.) The truck rides down the road like a cloud, the seats are beyond comfortable, and large bumps/potholes are barely noticeable. The 37's do present a larger turning radius I'll have to get used to, but otherwise not bad. My previous daily driver was a 2017 Raptor. This thing is 10x better in every imagineable way. I have never owned a TRX, but have driven one. It doesn't hold a candle compared to the R, but that's all I'll say about that as it's more of a formulated opinion and about as worthwhile as arguing over which bourbon is better. Here's some more pics, can't wait to hear from everyone else who gets to pick up theirs over the next few weeks!

Looks so good in the carbonized gray

Since we are begging ... can we get some interior shots? Appreciate that write you did as well...sounds like a beast.

Here ya go! I also failed to mention the exhaust note, it's fricken music. A cold start this morning (23 degrees) sounded like a Nascar.

I’m getting anxiety I’m so excited from your pics! My deliver window is 1/29 to 2/4

Carbonized grey sans graphic is a very interesting choice. Makes for the ultimate Q ship. Well done.

That’s good to know. I have 17 Raptor and love it. Looking forward to getting my Raptor R.

It looks great.. I almost went carbonized gray…. I went ingot silver minus graphics … very stealth…. Except for the orange R!!!

Love the carbon fiber used on the R! Beautiful truck! Enjoy that beast.

 

[wweaver]

The carbon does look way better on the R than my 22, much better. Still miss that Gen 2 Carbon fiber shifter however.
