    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    I finally got a call back from the salesman and he said the last he knew there was a delay because I ordered the new beadlock wheels and there was some delay with getting them. He promised to have the inventory manager call me back by the end of the day with more information.

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    I just called the salesman I worked with again (Roman) and he said he'll again ask the inventory manager to call me. I looked on their website and it shows they're getting 4 Raptors on 12/3-4 (none of which is mine, though I hope they wouldn't list any customer orders on their site anyway). If...

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    I ordered from the same dealer. So is my truck one that already arrived, or possibly is coming next week? I have a feeling they promised and/or sold my truck to somebody else... I'm going to go visit them in person today. What is a DORA and how do I get it?

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    I still haven't gotten a VIN or build date for my Raptor. I ordered it in June or July and according to what I've seen it was #21 order to be off the line. Can anybody help with an update? I've called the dealer 3 times and they haven't called back to tell me anything in the last few weeks! Here...

    Just placed order for 2013

    They just issued a press release the Terrain color has been delayed until 2014. I guess you'll need to pick another color sorry... What other options did you get?

    Raptor Killers???

    Gotta love when it says this to start: "over $25k in parts and labor invested in this truck" So with the base price of that truck that person is about $70k deep for a totally non-factory-warranted truck. Trucks like these are only justifiable for those people that can't afford the real deal...

    Help Please...Wheels

    These things are in total opposition to each other. If you're not going to be doing much off-roading then these are a terrible choice. They're going to produce a ton of road noise, get bad wear, and not very good road grip. I don't mean to call you a poser but that's exactly what you're doing...

    Actual wait times

    That dealer either has no clue or they're lying to you. This is a much more realistic timeline but still optimistic. Late Oct would be a really, really optimistic estimate. Nov is really the earliest you should expect it but Dec is more likely, and Jan or even Feb is possible.

    Is Ford putting Line-x on the 2013 model?

    I ordered it on my 2013 for a couple of reasons: 1. I trusted that Ford would do a better job than the dealer (maybe falsely) 2. It comes with attachment hooks as part of the package I still have time to change it and I'm wondering what you guys would do? I know I can order some attachment...

    Question on spare wheel and tire

    Why do you say it won't be black? And are you guys positive that's what I'll get? I'm wondering if I'll be able to buy a 5th BL ring from Ford Racing. I know I'll need to buy a set to replace the original for-show-only rings that come with the truck, but I'm betting I'll only get a set of 4 and...

    Digital Torque Wrench - Member Special

    I've been looking for a replacement for my wrench that mysteriously "disappeared" and I'm glad I waited until I saw this one. What a great deal! My order was just placed and paid for (Scott in Morrison CO). Thanks a lot for offering this special!

    Question on spare wheel and tire

    Hey guys. I know this is kind of a dumb question but I didn't see the answer anywhere. Am I going to get a 5th beadlock wheel with my 2013 Raptor with the same tire as what's on the other 4 wheels?

    Real pics of 2013 sporting HIDs and Beadlocks!!!

    I'll definitely start a build thread once I get to that point! I reallly like the Addictive Desert parts available. I hope the function is as good as the looks! I haven't found any negative feedback on here or other forums in terms of quality, fitment, finish, function, strength, etc. They seem...

    Out of their mind dealers

    They aren't available for that amount over invoice. There's too much demand. It's more like 500-1000 UNDER invoice at most places is a good deal. Maybe you can get 1500-2000 under but that's going to take a lot of searching and probably a trip out of state.
