    2024 build date???

    @RdR2027 you may want to check with your dealer about what package was ordered because Ford has said that they are only taking 801A up through the first week of February so far, no word on when the 802A will be taken. No, this has no effect from the strike, the 2023 was affected.

    2024 raptor productions scheduled through 1/22; no 37s and Rs scheduled this week

    I'm wondering the same thing. They just said that it's going to be the 801A through the week of February 5th, still no 802A or 803A. They also mentioned that it will be like this for the next several months. So, it looks like there won't be any scheduling until at least March for the 802A/803A...

    Wait for my ‘24 Base model or jump on ‘23 37pkg

    Go with the 2024 F150 Raptor but do some research. There are dealerships who offer them at MSRP but you may need to look outside of your city. Often, dealerships within a city will work together to make sure that everybody upcharges on them but Ford hates that they do and those who do end up...

    2024 Markup…?

    I would say look around! Last year, all dealers in my area wanted $5-10K over for MY23 Raptor/Raptor 37 package. I found a dealer who said they would do it at MSRP though it never worked out due to the shortages. This year I found another dealer who is going to get my MY24 at MSRP. Dealerships...

    Raptor Factory Shutdown ?

    They have pushed things back by a month but they may end up just cancelling the MY23 if the production date gets pushed back more. I think there is way more interest in the MY24 with an the free upgrades and everything. Maybe you should look into trying to get a MY24 instead because Ford had...

    A (weird) 2022 vs 2023 vs 2024 thread

    All I can say is that the MY24 is going to be more complete than previous years. They have made a ton of things standard and included a bunch of things for free (MY24 is about 3K higher). For me, I'm going to pay about 3.5K more than for a MY23 but I'm getting everything I wanted in a MY23 but...

    First Round of Allocations

    I have a priority code of 1 so I'm really excited. The start of production was supposed to be the end of November but it might have been pushed due to the UAW strike. They are still saying that they are arriving January so I'm pretty sure that start of production must be still late November or...

    Lets be real… Raptors aka fords are pieces of shit

    Wrong forum. Sounds like you should be in a Dodge, Chevy or GMC forum.

    2024 Order Guide

    Honestly, I hate that shelter green color. Reminds me of diarrhea. I think It's too bland to be Raptor exclusive, but to those that love it, congrats. I was really wanting code orange, so they might be why I'm bitter towards it. You don't buy a Raptor to fit in or hide. The price is a little...

    2024 F-150

    Of all the changes made, most are really nice, especially when you looking at the custom build site. My biggest gripe is that they got rid of the Code Orange color and introduced Shelter Green as the Raptor only color, but for the Raptor R you get Code Orange stitching, Code Orange "beauty...

    2024 color options any info yet ?

    I'm venting here but that was the dumbest decision ever. Nobody is ever going to say "I'm buying a raptor because that green is so awesome" I mean, not only is that color boring, basic and extremely underwhelming but replacing code orange? Who ever made that decision should be fired. I've been...

    2023 front bumper question

    If under warranty, I'd make the dealership do it so it's covered if anything goes wrong, even down the road post-warranty.

    Around we go again

    The TRX looks great and the base price is cheaper than the Raptor R. Dodge Trucks, like the TRX, come pretty bare and cost a pretty penny to add just some upgrades, which they love to bundle in packages. To get the TRX with the features you expect in the highest end of trucks, you are having to...

    CarPlay navigation constantly messes up directions and location

    TLTR: All I have to say is that when using an iphone, stick to Apple specific apps. When on Android, stick to Android specific apps. The phone is controlling the app and the location and everything. Apple uses a completely different software that is specific for Apple products only, which is...

    Dealer is not honoring the Purchase Price on website - What are my options?

    The sale price is the sale price. Dealership markups are part of the dealership fees, the small italicized fine print with an asterisk below the price. Ford is trying to combat this but if you call around, there are dealerships who go at MSRP. Otherwise, wait until the end of the year and buy...
