    Heated Steering Wheel

    My buddy just picked up his 2023 R and it has heated steering. The button is right next to the heated seat button on the driver side

    Raptor R Order Delays

    Same boat here too. Been in Production since late January. Dealership says it keeps getting pushed back due to chip shortages. Perhaps they meant January 2024? It says my truck is sitting in Lot 59, Dearborn. Who knows.

    Ok. No R so let’s build.

    I can't blame you. I have a VIN number and I've all but abandoned hope of getting an R from Ford anytime soon. It's been "In Production" since January 24, 2023. Three months to the day. Can't say I'm willing to get a TRX, but Ford has really dropped the ball on these vehicles.

    Avalanche Gray or Antimatter Blue?

    I was faced with the similar dilemma. Ultimately I went with AG because of my fear of spending my time between car washes and filling stations. Luckily i haven't had to worry too much since my R has been "in production" since 1/24/23. i don't even know what that means. The dealer said their...

    Congrats, but you are the outlier. Most R owners are NOT paying MSRP. We are not getting ripped off so much as you are simply fortunate to have a dealer willing to accept MSRP. I would gather that 19/20 buyers are paying over MSRP for their R's. Just a hunch really. Enjoy your truck!

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    Seems like they hit a significant chip snag in mid-January? Ah well, glad to know yours is on the ground at the dealership. So my next question is why are you responding to this thread and not at the dealership? Enjoy the truck.

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    Ford has my truck with a production date of 1/24/23. Hasn't been updated since 1/25/23, almost a month ago. Anybody with a build date close to mine that has heard anything? The dealer mentioned that there are chip delays causing a great many trucks built w/o chips and therefore remain in the...
