Well, I finally decided to trade in my 2016 F-150 Platinum on a new Raptor. I ordered one on Saturday in Antimatter Blue, with the 801A package, the blue interior with carbon fiber, panoramic sun roof and spray in bed liner. I was dealing with the general manager at the dealership and he told me not to order it with the bed liner because it would delay shipment by at least two months. So, we ordered it without and I will have a local company spray it in a few days after I take delivery. I was told it SHOULD arrive in September. We'll see!

Congratulations, welcome to the forum. I love my Antimatter Blue, great color it really pops in the sunlight and looks nice and dark in lower light. Fingers crossed your delaer actually has any 2022 allocations remaining...

Thanks! I’m hopeful. He seemed pretty confident that I’d get it in September. I was waffling back and forth on keeping my Platinum and ordering a C8 Corvette-but spending that much and only getting to drive it maybe 5 months a year seemed like a waste, so I decided on the Raptor. Either way, I expected there to be a wait. lol

I debated on ordering the new Z06 since order banks were open but I nor the dealer had much indication of final pricing or an idea of when or if it would get made. I'm sure its going to be a screamer but they did an excellent job with the C8 or C8 w/z71 package.

The Z06 is going to be bonkers. I can't wait to see and hear one in person!
