Pricing?

I went down this rabbit hole recently. I like having a small commuter for city driving and commuting. It never pencils out financially unless you buy a beater Prius and drive a lot. Unfortunately it’s hard to find anything reliable under 10k these days. I ended up getting a new Subaru Crosstrek...

Those that have been, is this a spouse friendly trip or better to go solo?

All those sites just use transport brokers, same with uship.com and it can be luck of the draw type situation. If you can book through a trusted transporter directly, I’d go that route. You’ll pay more, but have better communication and more peace of mind. I used uship.com when I bought my truck...

Is pricing available yet?

Skip the foam pads and go to straight wool. I have gotten amazing results from rupes yellow wool pad and coarse/fine finish depending on depth of scratches/swirl marks. I have tried just about everything over the years (da, forced rotary, Adam’s, chemical guys, griots, etc) and the rupes system...

I read that, but not really helpful as my truck was purchased site unseen from 2k miles away. I figured I’d have a punch list for the dealer when it gets first service. My other hobby is boats, pretty much the norm to document issues and have them addressed at normal service intervals.

Opened the hood for the first time to install a catch can. Found random tape left all over the place from the factory including on a wire they left untucked and fender liner hanging down.

As someone that has had to go through the lemon law/buy back process. I would drop the truck off at the dealer and tell them you won’t be picking it up until they have addressed the issues, including a fix. It looks like in CA once the truck has been at the dealer for 30 days or more, your truck...

Good to know about the vents, I noticed condensation inside my headlights as well. Didn’t seem right and was gonna have the dealer address it at the next service.

Programmed mine yesterday without issue. I held down the garage door opener and the visor switch I wanted it on (and did this multiple times). That said, the YouTube videos and ford directions made it seem like my programming didn’t work. I never got the rapid flash, but just a slow orange...

Full front PPF, ceramic tint on sides and windshield. Really disappointed in the quality of the PPF install for what I paid so get to have that conversation on Monday. Also put the tux mat floor liners in today.

Had HUD on my last truck, don’t miss it at all on the gen 3. That said, I’d prob wait for a 24 at this point.

I feel you as a new Raptor owner. I got my updated (read increased) auto insurance bill in the mail today which was expected. What wasn’t expected was my umbrella policy went up 15% as well. Not even my 400 hp boat moved the needle that much!

if you don’t care about resale, go for it. There’s a local used truck dealer to me specializes in bringing down trucks from Canada and reselling them in the states. They list their trucks for 20% or more below market value and claim in their marketing that you are able to buy vehicles at...
