I ordered mine without, but it showed up with the graphics. Picked it up on Saturday, and took them all off. Looks much better!

Mine was built 3/22...kept checking the site and no further update. Today my dealer called, Raptor is there and in PDI, so I guess the Ford site just hadn't updated LOL. Picking it up tomorrow hopefully if i can make my schedule work!

Me too and my build date is 3/18...also in MD LOL

That's where I'm at. I want the Raptor for road trips with all of us. At this point, I think I'm going to keep the X5M as well, and just split miles between them. It's too good to let go, but I'm pumped for the Raptor for family duty, long trips and just general duties. Build date is 3/18 as of...

Maryland. :(

I ordered my ‘24 a few weeks ago. My dealer has 3 inbound already and had multiple allocations available. They do sell a lot of raptors though, so must depend on that I assume?

Drives much closer to an actual performance car. The X5M feels like an SUV still, albeit a good one. The Cayenne seating position is more like a sedan, and the handling is really exceptional. Even a base Cayenne handles well IMO when compared to just about any SUV.

Yeah I mean for almost 3x I would agree, LOL. In all seriousness, I put ~20k on it in a year, lots of highway miles and it was enjoyable, although the ride is a bit fragile on certain surfaces and its nowhere close to EV fast. I think if I was going for another SUV, I'd get a Cayenne TGT, drove...

Just ordered a Carbonized Gray 35 today. Being told should be 3-5mos.

I have a 2023 X5M, just ordered a Raptor today. Looks like a bunch of us going the same direction :)

I had a 2016 King Ranch, not making that mistake again. Ended up putting Fox coilovers and 33s to make the ride acceptable. Just drove a ‘23 35 my dealer had on the lot, I’m sold. Ordered a Carbonized Gray 2024, they said 3-5 months. Can’t wait!

I’m trying to swing a deal for a ‘24 R, especially coming from the X5M but so far the dealer isn’t budging on their markup. The regular 24 allocations seem plentiful as of now, so it’s making my mind up for me!

That similar to where I'm at. Love the X5M, but I put 20k miles on it already in 13mos and I'm a bit paranoid of getting a flat especially traveling backroads which I do frequently. Add in a 3rd kid and I'm thinking this is the only direction that I'll be happy with. My other boys are both under...

Awesome. We have an X7 inbound for the wife, so good to hear. I love the X5M, although not the buying $3k in tires annually, but the backseat is just way too small looking ahead. I'm sure I'll miss some build quality coming from the BMW, but such is life.

I can fit 3 across in the Raptor, not so much in the X5M, it's too narrow. My wife has a 3 row SUV if we need it.
