Picked up my 2023 Raptor

[ekalb]

Congrats! Can I ask how your experience was with Bob Bell Ford? I am in MD and looking to buy a Raptor in the next few months. Thanks!

Thanks!


I had to wake up at 430am yesterday, take a two hour bus ride to the airport, a plane to Baltimore, an uber to the dealership, and then a 500 mile ride home. I wouldn't hesitate to go exactly that route again over the Ford dealership five miles from my house where I bought my last F150. Seriously though, they were fantastic, but what made them so, was that they were one of maybe 20 I called that treated me like a human for wanting to pay sticker price for the truck. How I was treated within 100 miles of my house was eye opening and it wont be easily forgotten. Happy to share contact details there if you would like. Shoot me a PM.

Congrats!! The white exterior always looks so clean IMO. What’s your first mods?!

Thanks, all!

I dont see the underseat storage as an option when I build one out on the Ford website. I see the lockable/foldable one, but it's a strange move to take away the usability I had in the old one with just a plastic piece in front. Not quite as strange as me having to pay for the luxury of NOT having a heated steering wheel, but I digress.

I will dig through the forscan spreadsheet and try and sort that out. I need to get rid of the thing needing to honk at me when I exit the truck with the key in my pocket anyways. I forgot how irritating that is since I coded it out of my last F150 very early on.

The foldable tray is it. My '18 had one that was not foldable. Same same.

Is this the under seat storage you’re talking about? https://accessories.ford.com/products/f-150-2015-2021-under-seat-ebony-cargo-organizer-1
It came with my 2017 Raptor and was very useful for storing a small tool bag and breaker bar for the lugs, but my 2023 didn’t come with it either, and yes it’s not something you can option out on them. That said, I believe this bar on the link will still fit. Actually, your post reminded me to check if this bar would fit on a 2023. Congrats on your new Raptor, it will be very hard now to buy any other model truck except maybe a Raptor R.

First mod was hardwiring in my radar detector last night

LineX is actually going on the bed tomorrow. That was the one option I really wanted that was missing.

Tonneau cover thats been in my garage for a week will go on after that.

Nothing else planned at the moment

YES!!!!!

Guessing parts availability (like the heated steering wheel I'm not bitter about) was the cause of the removal. I just ordered it from elsewhere. Should be here soon.

THANK YOU!!

Line X a good call, first thing I did too.
Crazy the price of these trucks that it’s not standard. Congrats again!
