Guess I’m the only one that loves it. Just had mine tinted with 50% ceramic ting and it cuts out all the heat while letting in plenty of light... yes mine is a pavement princess

I love mine, it was a key feature for me. Makes the truck feel a lot more spacious
Even if you never open it, nice to have a glass roof

I love mine also. I had ceramic tint put on it and no noises or operational problems yet. My dealer did the tints the day I picked it up while I had lunch at their 50's style diner on their dime. Some things I just gotta have even if they have the potential to be a PITA

No, nada, never. I can not justify paying someone to cut a hole in my roof and asking for problems. Just my opinion.

I have had 3 F-150s over the past 8 years and not an issue with one of them on the twin panel. Granted I havent been jumping them but they have been through some rocks and ditches.

Agree with the feeling of space and headroom. I’m 6’3” so nice to have the open feeling some of the year. I leave the shade open in winter and glass open once a week and both closed all summer. Hotter then Hades here in south Texas!

I traveled half way across the country to get one without a moonroof.

That said, I've made a lot of use of moonroofs in the cars I've owned which have one, they are nice to have, and I like watching the rain through them. But I prefer none for this application. Can't fault people for wanting one, but I prefer the weight savings (which I wager is 50 lbs), one less hole in case of rollover while raptoring, and removing the possibility of leak + rattles given the truck it's attached to. Also, it pays for most of a set of Deavers or a set of Baja Designs unlimited.

No sunroof. If you purchase for the intended use of the most off road capabile vehicle made in the Ford lineup, the truth is, strength is a must. The Ford Performance “Raptor Assault “
only uses non-sunroof Raptors, and recommended to me the Supercrew over the Supercab.
In every vehicle I have owned with a sunroof, I rarely used them and even though may bring more money on resale, they cost more in the upfront.
Better to put money into making it run better off-road.

This was a must for my 2018. It’s a pavement pounder but the relaxation experienced after a long day is phenomenal. Only 4700 miles but so far so good. #YOLO

If your going to use it Offroad don’t get the sunroof. 25k miles and my entire sunroof needs to be replaced. The glass has a crack, makes terrible sounds and will only open 25% of the time. I fear that’s its going to be an annual thing.
