what is the difference between a 22 raptor 801a vs 23 raptor base?

“we’re seeing slightly different headlights”

How so? I saw no changes from 22 to 23 via Ford’s configurator just now for the 801a. And who are you referring to by saying “we are”? Lol

It’s not the same truck because we’re seeing slightly different headlights and a different load screen . Also black 37pp wheels. I don’t know what all changed but it’s not exactly the same

Curious as to your source, would like to see where these changes are documented.. I have not seen any indication of these details before.

As i understand it the Black 37pp wheels are for the raptor R package which has the trim and grill blacked out. Had not seen any indication this would expand to the regular 37pp.

You know very well that the configurator is not accurate, especially this early. They’ve been having issues since MY23 release. We is the frog in my pocket and I. I posted an example of the headlight change from taken down pictures in another thread. Also, it’s all in-plant cell pictures that were taken down, not official Ford press.

Someone that works in the Dearborn plant. I thought the same for the black wheels but I asked for clarification regarding this and he said it was non-R 37pp trucks with black wheels.

That’s for the R *******

Did you read the thread? All I have to go by is someone that works in the plant, but he claimed that he has seen non-R 37pp with black wheels. I asked again and replied with this and he said no, regular 37 because they only produced 4 Rs for over a 24hr period

He said that they were told only 2000ish Rs were going to be made but that was just plant talk and not sure if that’s just Job 1 or for 2023.

Knowing Ford's Q/C as of late, they probably put the wrong wheels on the non R 37PP.

Lol maybe. Just passing on what I hear. If y’all don’t want the info I will stop relaying what he’s telling me.

Someone hammered me months ago for posting TRC’s production estimates, but we have no information coming out other than leaks or insider info because Ford is of no help.

I was making a joke about Ford Q/c, nothing to do with you. No need to walk out man.

Interesting, I guess the follow up question I have might be: Did he see ALL 2023 37pps on black wheels or just a few?

That would help answer if these were a couple 1 offs for promos or maybe a TBD blackout pack or if it is looking like another supply chain related change.
