freaking awesome write-up sir, very informative and enjoyed reading it, looking at the pictures I really wish Ida gotten the blue interior package, saw 012bluesvt's last week and pictures just dont do it justice compared to real life

Very cool. From 2011 to 2012 the center aux switch module went from Silver to a dark grey or black.

I am curios to see the valve covers on the 2013... the one I saw looked different, but it was a development truck

You think you could snap a pic of your 2011 or 2012 Aux Switch box?

Also I think the A/C vent got darker in 2011, but don't know if they stayed dark?

Your above pics show the color differences, though not as dramatic. Next time I am at the dealer I will take a look. Also the interior trim changed from 2011 to 2012. The 2011's had the octagon type black lines on the pieces where 2012s are smooth.

I might have missed it in the above changes but the base seats also were changed to embroidered Raptor logos in 2012 instead of emobssed in 2011

Yeah got the embroidery, I just would like to have more side-by-side pics, so any pics that people want to donate would be very appreciated.

Since it is a Sticky, all trucks used for pics would be 'famous'! :party28:

Part guys also showed me a part number change on the driveshaft from 2010 to 2011. I don't know if there were other changes

2012 can be flat towed

Turn truck on (run position, dont start)
Place transmission in neutral
Turn drive selector from 2h to 4l and back to 2h (5 times within 7 seconds)

Truck can be flat towed..
To return to normal drive mode, place shifter into park.

Is that something that is unique to 2012s (and up) or do others do this trick?

----Well the 2010 doesn't do it------ or I am doing the trick wrong....
