Talk about a tight squeeze! Glad you got it in there. 1st pic…is that bike preventing you from getting it in there straight?

I wish! The bike seat actually was under the bumper and the rear was just touching the wall and it still couldn't fit. I think I could put it in straight in the 3rd stall but I'd have to remove the work bench area. Probs will do that in the spring as with where my Tesla charger is its gonna be inconvenient to charge with where the cars sit.

Emotions took my better judgement. I shouldn't have taken delivery today, but I had to. Drove 8 hours, slept for 3, drove another 3 through a snow storm. Drove another 3 back to my resort through an even more extreme storm.. but I wasn't waiting any longer. It was ready and now it's mine!

First pic is the Raptor infront of my First Edition Bronco I sold to them. Second is picking up a diet coke for the trek back through the sleet. Happy to be part of the forum now officially with a gen3.
Looks great! That’s the same color and config I ordered back in October. Finally started production a few days ago. Really looking forward to seeing the Code Orange color in person. I hear it is a stunning Orange (almost red?).

Congrats. Would be interested in a few more pics if you have time. I’ll live vicariously thru others postive posts until my day is here.

In person you will not find it "red" I truly feel this is one of those colors where you just can't "get it" until viewed in person. Its 100% Orange. Every pic I have is red looking... hilariously... about a month after I took delivery my 4 yr old was getting into the truck in the bright sun and was climbing in and said "holy cow our truck is orange! I thought it was red!" I was like dude I've been calling this truck orange for 12 months where have you been. Hah!

Truck is a beauty. When I came home before pandemic from a day trip to Montreal through a ice storm, same thing, lights iced over including the pocket BD lights. Defroster barely kept a space on windshield to see through. But the first gas station over the border was filled with cars and trucks with frozen over lights.

I guess that’s why it’s a desert runner.
