I received a call yesterday at 10am from a dealer that I had called a few weeks back inquiring about a truck listed on their website. Only to be told it was in transit. The only reason I called them was because my ordered truck has been stuck in ramp59 since October 26. Long story short It cost me $2000 more but I bought it. Sick of waiting on my ordered truck with the feeling that who know when it will show. Identical truck I ordered minus the orange accent seats. Fell bad for my orig sales guy as I buy all my work vans from him, but FORD couldn't deliver the truck or an explanation.

Congratulations!!

Wish I was posting pictures already!

Having two previous Raptors what is your initial impression of the new one? Let's not start the Gen 1 Gen 2 battle again. Just curious of his thoughts between the two.

Well, I only drove it 18 miles yesterday in traffic. I really like the feel of the cab and layout and my 1st impression of the performance is it seems very tight and responsive. 10 speed trans is super smooth. I think it sounds like a coffee can exhaust on a truck, but I plan to swap it with something else, TBD, soon.

Looking forward to putting on some miles later today and tomorrow.

Not true.
3 weeks ago I had a brand new xlt as a rental. 3.5 10-speed came out of Kansas City factory

Drove it 600 miles home

ok not all 10 speeds but a certain run of a time frame. but it does have something to do with the 10 speed understandable
