When you purchase a new vehicle from out of state, there are more hoops to jump through in order to register the vehicle. In the case of the Raptor, you have to take it to a certified weigh station and then have an independent third party confirm that the vehicle meets CA emission standards...

Given that in CA, used car buyers have to pay a use tax which is equal to sales tax on a new vehicle, I would say what you paid in sales tax is a sunk cost. Knowing how in CA, every dealer was MSRP+ in the last few months of 2020, I would say start your asking price at the MSRP + 3500. Keep...

We are up in Tahoe for the President's weekend. Great timing to bring the truck to play in the snow. So, I saw another Black Raptor (fog lights in the bumper, roll bar, spare mounted in trunk bed) that followed me down Pioneer Trail and turned right onto Elks Club. Wonder if you know that owner?

Arrived on Friday afternoon to see that I needed to climb the berm left by the snow plow. The truck handled the climb and the transverse into the garage effortlessly. Here's an after pic (after clearing the driveway). Raptor In The Snow by sfhondapilot posted Feb 14, 2021 at 10:25 AM

Welcome to FRF. The orange accent works well, up to a point. IMHO, the grill is maybe a bit too much.

I also received mine on January 29th.

Also still waiting for my rebate. Tracking ID shows rebate submission received on 12/3/2020 - I was a little slow sending the rebate in so I was probably toward the end of the processing que. update: 1/29/2021 received rebate check today.

Problem is that the 2020 new truck inventory is been virtually picked clean and any "deal" that may have existed during the summer of 2020 isn't around today as the supply of trucks just doesn't exist. The situation is even worse on the west coast. Back on October 2020, I was searching outside...

Congrats and welcome. New raptors on a dealer's lot are scare animals in CA. Most of what's left are highly modified vehicles.

Power Line off of Price? No, I haven't had the chance, yet, to try that. Have you done that road? How far can you get down the trail?

Hi, new owner of a 2020 802a. Split time between San Francisco and South Lake Tahoe (near the Oneidas trailhead). Drove the Raptor to SLT back in November, after the early initial snowfall, and was really impressed with the ease of the drive through the mountain sections. We usually head over...

Yes, it was. Had two cars in the stable for which I was the only driver. The 911TT and an E46 M3 convertible. I ended up keeping the M3 and replaced the 911 with a Macan Turbo.

Love that picture as it reminds me of why I sold my 2007 997.1TT Basalt on black.

I did. Picked up a 2020 in Agate Black with 802a and the recaros. Drove 200 miles with the family this morning to pick up the truck. We'll be taking it up to Tahoe on Thursday (it's snowing!). Just got done ordering my bedcover and looking at lights. So far, very pleased with the truck and...

Appreciate your comments. I've got a 2016 Macan Turbo and I agree that the seats are fantastic. Trying to close a deal on a 2020 with Recaros as we speak.
