Yes, best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I paid 10k over, which was a great deal….I got the first batch out to customers. Ford will never make enough of them to go under msrp, great buy.

I daily, 3500 miles so far. I took delivery in mid Jan. I’m hoping for an 800hp manual next get ford gt or gt500 to give the R a break here and there ;)

I was afraid of that too. I didn’t know the price until the truck was delivered. He told me 10k over sticker, I to that point never expected to take delivery of the truck. I fully expected a 30k or 40k ADM. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have taken the truck…out of principal. I wouldn’t...

Am I the only one out here that is on the dealerships side in all this. These dealerships get a handful of special models per decade. If you want a special model, it comes with a special price. The car won’t depreciate and has a wow factor that will never go away. Dealerships sell to people...

It’s most likely the air conditioned seat. It took me a hour to figure it out. It’s loud and hard to tell where it’s coming from. Hopefully that’s all it is.

None of those listed updates will affect the premiums being paid for 23’s. If you are getting an R, do you care about a change in taillights or headlights or a HUD? When I stomp my foot down and smile, that’s what I paid for. Also exclusivity.

Not a drop from mine(2200 miles)……so far. Should be a simple fix, hopefully.

Picky?!? It doesn’t look like much in the pic, but will get worse. I was thinking a simple panel adjustment so it will quit rubbing and I’ll touch it up myself. I already have a paint stick on order. I’ve already had it ceramic coated and don’t want it repainted. When I pick up the paint...

Beat me to it, thanks. A unique rim with a unique finish as well. I am waiting until i decide if I’m taking it to around 1000hp. If so, I’ll go with the 13.5. If I leave it stock, I’ll stick with the 12.5. I’ll let some you you cowboys lead the way. You can safely take a gt500 it 1000, I’m...

Thanks!

I’m sorry “corrodes”…….. when the paint rubs off and the aluminum rubs and vibrates together and is exposed to the elements for the next few years, it will corrode. Anyone have anything useful or helpful to say?

You don’t see the panels rubbing together and the paint coming off? I figure an adjustment and paint touch up should be a minimum. I could care less right now, but in 5 or 6 years it’s going to rust.

Thanks, I can save 15-20 lbs a wheel depending on what I go with….should be a big difference.

Had anyone else that’s taken delivery of a Raptor R or gen 3 had these panel gap issues? Is this a warranty claim that I should take up with the dealer?
