    Problems with iPhone connecting

    I've noticed for some time now that my iPhone takes way too long to connect to my truck and sometimes it doesn't connect at all. I've deleted my phone and re-installed it, hoping that would clear it up but no dice. Any ideas as to what it might be?

    Factory Stereo Sound Quality

    Have had my 14' Raptor for a few weeks now and everything is awesome...except for one thing...the stereo. The sound quality is just not that good. It has a very "flat" sound to it. I like to feel a little something when I listen to music and it's just not there. I just sold my 02' Lightning and...

    Seat Memory

    I've been playing around with the seat memory function and I'm curious if I'm doing things the right way. My work vehicle used to be a Chevy Tahoe. It had memory seats in it and I loved that feature. Just like my Raptor, hit a button and the seat moves into the proper position. Now, with the...

    There's No Place Like Home

    On 6/26, I picked up my Raptor in St. Louis and drove her back to Maryland. Great road trip for my son and I. Been home for a few days now and have had time to do normal everyday driving and have not been disappointed. Am I the only one that feels like the king of the road when driving down the...

    I'm Official...I Guess

    Well, I am an official Raptor owner, now. My son and I picked her up in St. Louis on 6/26 and began our road trip back home. First off, I would like to thank Jeff Houston at Broadway Ford Truck Sales in St. Louis, MO. He was great to work with. Also, I want to thank Randy Wilson...

    Tomorrow is the day!

    The long wait is over and I'm just 12 hours away from my departure to St. Louis. Words cannot begin to describe how I feel right now. I will have a very hard time sleeping tonight...and will probably end up not sleeping at all. I have been envisioning this day for some time now and the wait is...

    I Need Ideas

    I'm taking the trip next week to pick up my Raptor. I'm flying out to St. Louis and driving back to Maryland. I'll be traveling on Interstate 64 as my main route back to Maryland. Does anyone know of some good places to stop on the way back? I will have my 10 year old son with me and will be...

    Raptor Deliveries

    Any recent deliveries to anyone? I'm still waiting on mine and have chewed off all of my finger nails. I'm pretty sure I might be missing a finger or two, as well. I've watched every damn Raptor video on You Tube and I'm ready for the real thing. I'm just looking for any news to help gauge the...

    Raptor Shipping Delays

    Does anyone have their new Raptor sitting at the rail yard in Melvindale Michigan? I'm trying to get some sort of idea when they plan to start moving. Mine's been sitting in Melvindale since 5/13. No big deal, I'm just trying to see if anyone has any other info as far as when they plan on shipping.

    Separation Anxiety

    I know I should have put this in the "what did you give up" thread, but I kinda have more to say than, what I gave up. My Raptor is due at the dealership, any time now...can't wait. But I had to sell my 02 Lightning to be able to get the Raptor. I always said I would never sell my Lightning...

    The countdown is on

    Well, the time is here. My Raptor is scheduled to be built tomorrow and I wish I could be there. My estimated delivery date is 6/12 - 6/18. I can't wait! I'm starting to see more & more Raptors in my neck of the woods and it's getting to me. I feel like "Joker", from the movie Full Metal...

    Funny Phone Call

    I got a phone call this past Friday and it was from my old dealer. Now, if anyone is familiar with all the shit I went through with this guy, it made this call hilarious. Of course I let it go to voicemail and listened to it later. This was the same dealer who refused to give me any information...

    Order Priority Number

    I'm sure this has been talked about already, but can someone break down order priority numbers for me? I was just asked what mine was and I don't have my paperwork handy, but I'm curious how these numbers work and what they mean.

    Cancelled My Order

    Cancelled my order today and got my deposit back. Back to the drawing board. No worries though...I have a plan in the works right now and I will be fine. However, I am super pissed at my former dealership (Apple Ford) because I wasted almost 2 months waiting for some kind of information that...

    Build Dates

    I'm trying to see what the average lead times are once you've placed an order. If anyone has a scheduled build date along with when the order was placed, I can get an average idea of how long they're taking to build. I'm just trying gauge how long I have.

    Dealing with SVT Directly

    I'm getting the feeling...or should I say, convinced that my dealer is lying to me about my Raptor order. I placed my order on 2/27 and since then, I have been in the dark. The latest is, my dealer told me last week that Ford pulled 4 of his Raptor orders, but he won't know which ones till the...

    Interesting Raptor News

    I just got an email from my dealer with some not so positive news. According to him, Ford will not be building any Raptors in the month of March due to the fact that they ran short on parts. He is also waiting for word regarding remaining allocations for the remainder of the year. He expects to...

    Ordering questions / input

    I placed my Raptor order in late February. My dealership and I went back and forth and blah blah blah... In the end, we came to a mutual agreement on price, so I ordered. Here we are a few weeks later and I'm getting calls from a previous dealer, wanting me to buy from him. I told him that I...

    Ordered Raptor...will I get one?

    I have given my dealer the green light to order my Raptor. I was excited that I got this step out of the way. But I'm getting a little nervous now. Based on what I've read in other posts, just because I've ordered one...doesn't mean I'm guaranteed one. This has got me a bit concerned because I...

    Raptor Transport & Delivery

    I've heard a number of different ways how Raptors are transported & delivered from Dearborn Michigan to the dealership. Maybe someone can help me out. It has always been my belief that they are transported by rail from Dearborn to a local rail yard and from there, they are loaded on a car...

    Anybody out there willing to share their DORA with me? I'm trying to make sure my dealer shares everything with me and I don't know what one looks like.
