Potential New Raptor Owner - Questions

[JoshyP]

Watsonville ford has a 35 Oxford white with tailgate delete for 10k over ADM. you could probably talk them down to 5k

Thanks. I'm pretty set on the 37 package and Avalanche with the moonroof. I was thinking I could go with 35s and then put 37s on, but then I could not fit a 37 inch spare under the bed.

Bakersfield was getting a Black 35 with carbon fiber package and said they would do $10 over.

So are you gonna move on this?

 

[Corpsefed]

No I ended up buying from a dealership closer to home.

I’m pretty sure someone has fit a 37” spare on a 35 without issue but it may depend on tire manufacturer.

Very possibly, but the exhaust might be a little too close for my comfort. Ford actually extended the bumper on the 37 package to accommodate. I'm a huge fan of K02s so I plan on sticking with those.

This was true for 22MY trucks. Ford has yet to put anything out regarding price protection for 23MY trucks. If you’re in possession of such a memo from Ford, do you mind posting it here? -Cheers

Yes. The new memo 2023 no price protection.

Yes. The new memo 2023 no price protection.

Mind posting the memo for all eyes?

my priority code was 19 and it took 5 months total, all luck of the draw at this point some people have trucks built before mine and it’s still waiting chip hold

Interesting, I have a 23 ordered with a code 19. I hope the time works for me, only 2 1/2 months to go. Something tells me the 23 will not be the same.

I’m in the Sacramento area and will say that most of the dealers here are hoping more than actually getting. The Roseville ford dealer came down 20 out of 30k adm after spending some time there. Im pretty sure they’re all just wanting to sell these truck with the interest rates going up like they are.

I got a standard letter from Ford, indicating they are working hard to fill my order. No date or any details as to when it will be produced.
