I can help with black Raptor posts. Yesterday was wash day. I've never washed a vehicle so often.. I have everything I need to ceramic coat it, but not the time to do it.

Nice looking truck. I'm in the same boat

Just waiting for time to clay it then coat it.

Holy hell.

HOLY. HELL.

This truck man.

I'll say I'm new to trucks and certainly to the Raptor (drove a rental 2021 F150 XLT for a few months and fell in love, ordered the Raptor). But man. This thing is something else.

Drives like a dream. Smoothest shifting of any new vehicle driven in the last few years (2020 Hyundai Palisade, 2021 Lincoln Nautilus, 2020 Ford Edge, 2021 F150 XLT with V8). Got plenty of "go," but not so much it scares me (I think the TRX would be way overkill/dangerous with me behind the wheel). Sounds ********* amazing. Seriously. Videos do it no justice.

No problems from factory so far (had them drop tire PSI and check for the transmission coolant line problem before I left). Delivered on time. Clean, all parts accounted for. I'm a lucky sucka.

For all y'all still in purgatory, hold tight. She's worth the wait.

Now to the shop for PPF and a gorgeous matte finish on this beautiful black.

Safe travels friends!

Thanks guys!



Ordered June 26th (I think), built October 11th, shipped to Mississippi on October 20th, arrived November 11th. Not bad all things considered (especially compare to some folk. )

Congrats man just a fantastic looking truck. I just don't get the timing on mine. Built 9/30 and still sitting in Dearborn. No bedliner or anything that should be holding it up. Dealer is saying 1/13 now for me. Glad to see someone is scoring.

Buyers who take delivery of a 2021 Raptor in January/February need to be compensated with a discount from MSRP. The trucks will be one model year old.

That'll never happen, mostly because there are plenty of buyers willing to pay MSRP. What's the difference between taking delivery on 12/31 vs 1/1?

Why would it be discounted? When you trade it in, it will have 10,000 miles less(on average) bringing the resale value in line with 2022s.. This is flawed logic
