Picked up last Friday. Totally worth the wait. Hang in there everyone.

Hang in there folks, the wait is worth it. I was also able to sell my regular Raptor for only a hair less than I bought it for, which was a great hold over during the wait. Ordered 7/27/22 Built 8/12/23 At my dealership 8/14/23 Picked up and brought home 8/18/23 Just slowly chipping away at...

Congrats, that's a great deal on a great color! I felt fortunate I got mine last week (finally) for $15k over, but $10k over is pretty good!

Well - it's time. Built late last week, arrived at the dealership on Monday. Hoping to pick it up later this week or first thing next week. Will share pics here.

I'm a 60/40 split between normal and sport. Exception to the rule is, of course, slippery mode when there's snow / rain.

Did you end up re-negotiating or did you take delivery at the previously agreed 25k? Mostly curious.

Congrats and welcome back! Likewise I had a '18 Raptor, now have a '23 Raptor, and have an R on order. Great color choice!

I've seen some pretty high prices on bring a trailer, curious what you've seen that's counter to that?

Could be something else like a loose trim piece as well that's causing the sound based on resonating with engine speed or throttle? As suggested, I'd take it to the dealer. Yay warranties.

This appears to be more of a Gen3 thing I've noticed as I looked at them on lots. I had a Gen2 which had remarkably good fit and finish, and the Gen3 I have no is also really good, but I looked at several others on lots where it was clear there were some funny clearance issues in front end trim...

My truck got built yesterday according to the Ford order tracking website. Getting close after almost a 13 month wait...

I don't love the ADM, but I also don't really buy the argument that people can't or should be discouraged from paying what they think something is worth. I negotiated $15k over for my R that's getting built this week. No regrets. I probably wouldn't have been as interested at $30k over, but to...

Got my window sticker yesterday and looks like a blend date of 8/11/2023. Guessing there's a chance I'll see it in September at this point. Edit: Note my build status now shows "In Production" without a date on the order tracker website. Just says scheduled week of 8/11.

Gosh that's a heck of a wait! I'm going on 12.5 months waiting for my R. It took exactly 360 days to get a VIN, but it's still not built. In the mean time, enjoying the base R I bought two moths ago because who know when the R will even be delivered.

I see quite a few 'M' plates given where I am in Michigan. I have seen a few '24 Raptors (R and regular) on the road without camo, including seeing a non-R `24 pulling a trailer yesterday. I dig the front headlight re-design but it does look like the red "R" is gone from the Raptor emblem on...
