Your truck brother. Don't need it to say anything to know it's a raptor.

Easily recognizable as one from all angles without it being spelled out 4 times.

I could do without the bed stickers. they just haven't annoyed me enough to take off.

It’s a Raptor my friend, anyway you see it. Badges/stickers is the way it was made and I’m sure you didn’t buy it for those two emblems. We buy them for what they are capable of and how much fun they are to drive. Outside looks are for the “wish I had one” gawkers. Stay behind the wheel and enjoy the best darn F-150 ever made. Dang, I love this truck!

I took the dealer badge off the tailgate as soon as I moved away from the town in which I made the purchase. (I left it on until then in case I needed their service department. In that eventuality I wanted them to know that I bought it from them.)

But I would never, ever remove the 6.2L badge nor the SVT badge. Never. I paid for that big engine and SVT engineering, and both distinguish my truck from GEN2 Raptors and every other vehicle on the road.

I removed the "Raptor" badge on the rear. Didn't want it in the first place but it was a buy from the dealer lot and they removed the cost. I prefer the clean non-advertised look and the only person it matters to is me. I have before and after if you'd like.
cheers.

That’s funny. When I bought my 2nd Raptor, it was about 100 miles south of my home. I had no intention of having it serviced there but that didn’t matter. The dealer logo was huge on the tailgate. As soon as I walked into the detailing area and walked around it and saw it, I began to peel It off. Were they serious? They wanted me to drive around with their big ugly name on my tailgate? The detail guy said you want me to remove it?. I said yes, handed him 20 bucks and went back to complete the paperwork.

as for real debadging, as I’m sure @911 Crazy can tell you, if you go on the Porsche configurator, lovingly referred to as the confusilator, you will see among the seemingly hundreds of money grabs a myriad of ways of having your badges appear, from painted to chrome, to stickers to save weight, to debadge direct from the factory.

Porsche makes more profit per vehicle than any manufacturer. It’s always puzzled me why others haven’t copied their recipe.

Porshe made 246k total vehicles in 2017.

Ford made 6.4 million.

the simple answer is volume.

ford doesn't have time for that shit.
