Heh, well now I need another truck to drive!

Driving down to pick up this weekend:

Ira Ford? Say hello to the GM Dave for me! Got mine a few weeks ago. They are terrific!! Congrats!

Thanks. Funny though, not really all that fired-up about it. Ordered the Raptor when it looked like the 2022 F350 I ordered in April 2021 was never going to get built. It did, and arrived about 2 months ago. Sold it to a wholesaler today for 100K. Really holding out now for the 2023 F350.

First of all, beautiful truck. Code Orange is growing on me. Second, which wholesaler did you sell your F350 to? I have a truck I need to sell (not my Raptor).

GiveMeTheVin. Sold them my 2019 Raptor last year. Easy enough transaction with them. Send pics, verify condition, DocuSign. They arrange pick up if you don’t live near drop off point.

Yep! My first purchase with there. So far, so good. Gotta love no ADM with them.

Welcome to the Code Orange crewe!! Till you trade it in, then you are dead to us. LOL.

Yes, MSRP for sure! Amazing. They did a great prep too... no issues like some on these forums found with transit stuff left in places. Check your paint too. Some typical paint issues in a few places... nothing awful. My ceramic guy found a few I didn't even see when it was under all the bright lights in his shop. He also said the paint looks "cloudy", something I didn't have any clue about... looked fine to me! LOL He'll clean all of that up Monday when it goes in for ceramic. Good luck with it!!

Great to hear. I've never done that ceramic coating, but thought it may be the way to go, if I were going to keep the truck. Ordered it without spray in bedliner though...looking to have Line-x do a color match for that. I know it must vary quite a bit, but what's a ballpark price for better ceramic coat? Any recommendations of what brand/company to use for that? Thanks for any info!

I went Ceramic pro gold. Lifetime warranty. For full exterior including correction, and ceramic tint on every piece of glass including pano roof I was out the door at $3,600. It’s pricey at a solid shop but worth it!

I've always leased so I never bothered with coatings. But having bought it this time, it will be my first time doing it... that said, I'm hardly the one to say what is good or not, lol. The shop uses Gtechniq & Ceramic Pro. He generally starts around $2400 for a truck, but he discounts $400 off for a brand new vehicle (under 500 miles) because there's less paint correction. He also includes film for a few areas like those shiny black plastic pieces between the windows... they swirl if you just look at them! So he gets all the swirls out and puts film on. I think he does the headlight cover pieces too. I don't drive enough miles to do a wrap so I'm hoping this will give it decent protection.
