I am coming from a 2011 Tundra 5.7L with no upgrades or packages. It has bench seats and a column shifter, my head unit doesn't even work.. Sooo yea I would say it's a huge improvement based on my circumstances.

First time Raptor buyer here and I'm busting at the seams to get a new one with the 37 Performance Package. I think my dealer is going to shoot me if I keep bugging him on the WBDO opening. Lol.

First-time buyer. Changing from a 2016 F150 Limited

Looking forward to:
-Almost 100HP increase
-Rear Coils
-Fox suspension
-Infotainment Upgrade
-Better exhaust sound
-37s
-Aggressive look
-Powertech package


Wondering about:
-No more drive-thru car washes
-No massaging seats
-Front Parking sensors? (are those available?)
-Moving to blue interior

Damm
No more drive through car washes ? Glad I went with silver.

I cringe at the thought of you people going through a drive through car wash with a vehicle you care about.
Drive through car washes are for rental cars and beaters.
Yea I wouldn't even go through one with a car I don't even care about lol. Lets not even talk about gas station car washes!

I have a 2019 SCAB, I have been seriously toying with upgrading to 37s, to do it right I was looking at spending $15k. The only thing I wish is that the 2021 came in a SCAB. I have decided that the extra room will be nice but I will miss the more nimble size of my 2019.
That said, the 2021 with Performance Pkg will not cost me much more than my upgrade cost would have been. I get a new truck, 37s from the factory, lots of other upgrades, generator etc for maybe $5,000 bucks more than I was going to spend and the long term value will be much higher.
Code Orange, 801a, Performance Pkg, Power Tech. I will transfer my tonneau cover and get a bed rug.

Me too...I just really like the rich ICS color. My current F150 has the IGS. Which I like, but the darker ICS is badass. It does look sweet in the snow when the sun reflects off the snow onto the truck. :gr_grin:

However, I do live in the Northern Plains and the majority of the year is winter LOL

I am with you on this one as well. First time Raptor owner here as well. I am coming from a 11 XLT. So, this truck is a massive upgrade for me.

To the people concerned about the car wash. Get it ceramic coated !! If your somewhat lazy about washing or just work a lot. Makes washing your raptor a 20 minute ordeal. A hard rain also gets it halfway clean, nothing sticks to it.
