I can only get 18 MPG at around 55 to 60 MPH with not much stopping in my Gen 2. Usually, average high 16 for city and highway. But getting the opportunity to go to a 37 Raptor I think the looks will grow on you and the resale value will also be very good for years to come.

Texas dealer I would be interested. PM?

Print the name of the dealer and give them all the attention from Ford Corporate to stop this. I am pretty sure this was probably Galphin Ford???

IERAPTOR Post the name of the dealer and address. This will bring the dealer all the attention they deserve and also from Ford corporate.

My third son Kevin does the 3M film. Hood and rear was easy but fenders take lot of time. You have to be very careful to make sure the pattern in the same angle from side view. There are two films available the flat or the gloss that look very similar to the truck hood above.

Do it yourself. You can use nylon string even dental floss to cut the tape or use a heat gun but be careful not to overheat the paint. Photo of mine without applique. But I ordered the truck without applique. s ordered without option.

My 2017
