    Tail light differences

    Good evening everyone, I was doing the unfortunate and very unfun job of the fall yard cleanup. It got dark on me and when I closed my tailgate there was a rogue stick that tried to escape from the bed and got pinched between the tailgate and my left tail light. This, of course, broke the lower...

    BRAND NEW ENGINE

    From my experience. I may have some advice for you. I have a Raptor because Ford bought my Focus RS back after 2 head gaskets and a transmission leak. You probably won’t get them to agree to a replacement/buyback at this stage, I couldn’t even get them to replace the whole engine or give an...

    Name those wheels?

    They look like the Shelby Raptor’s wheels. Given that’s the tire that Shelby uses too, I would bet that’s the case. http://www.shelby.com/images/pdf/2017SR.pdf

    New sticky please GEN2 owners pics

    Is that the new '19 black or is that magnetic? Damn, that looks good. Great job correcting and coating it, that's an impressive finish!

    2019 Raptor Intel

    I used the tracking website and the occasional chat with ford performance. My Raptor is a Ford replacement for a problematic Focus RS. Therefore, the dealer has no skin in the game. They are being helpful but it isn't their top priority. I also didn't want to bother them more than i had to...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    FYI. You may want to call your dealer. I had my friend do a drive by of the dealer just to make sure on his way home from work today. I’m happy, and also kind of pissed that he found this on their lot. He took a photo of the vin sticker and it is, indeed, mine. I’m hoping that it just came in...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    I hear ya man. I’m like a kid on Christmas Eve. I don’t want to be too forward but with a Velocity blue truck on the train car, I don’t think anyone was looking at the performance blue one. :p

    You sir, are a determined man. I don’t think I have it in me to call around.

    Mine has been there since the 20th too. Maybe we were on the same train!

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Try the chat right through Ford Performance. They were able to give me the location of my truck last week. I really want to ask for an update but I'll be patient for a couple more days...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Good looking truck, bud. Ford Performace said mine was unloaded from the rail car in DE on Wednesday which is only 2.5 hours drive from my dealer. They had a delivery window of 3/24-3/30 and had pretty high confidence it’ll be here this week. I’m really hoping it comes like Monday-Wednesday...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Anyone have any idea how accurate the estimated delivery date is on the tracker? Mine just pushed back a day, to next Saturday. I leave the following Monday morning for a week long business trip. The truck built the 13th, so I’m hoping it is a conservative estimate and shows up early. Just...

    '19 Being Built

    Congrats man. My order is a bit of a special case but if it delivers next Friday like the tracker says, it will be right around the 7 week timeframe for the whole thing. Your mileage may vary. The big question is, what’d ya get? What expensive boxes did ya check?

    Man, that top photo is the one I’ve been looking for for months! Thanks for sharing. I finally feel better about my VB choice. Can’t wait to get it!

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Agreed. It was nerve racking initially because Ford outsources there re-acquired vehicle (RAV) service. The case manager I had was not good. He never answered emails, phone messages and promised call backs that he never made. He “moved on” and the new gal is much much better, usually answering...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Sort of. I put some nice Forgestar wheels on my Mustang when I had it. I used an Adam’s ceramic wheel kit on those. I have not used a paint kit, though. I’ve done paint correction and Adam’s sealants on the Mustang and my current black RS with great results. I think that’s the hard part, no? The...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Good afternoon guys, I’ve been lurking since they announced the Gen2. Tried hard to get a ‘17 but couldn’t get into one at a reasonable price. Ended up picking up a Focus RS thinking a hatchback would be better for home projects than my Mustang GT was. Long story short, I got hit with the head...

    The 2017 Eco-Boost vs V8 Bench Racing / Whining thread

    You have to factor in volume too. How many buy charged V8 jeeps at 70k sticker?(I've never seen one) Gt350 and ZL1 are limited production( I think). V8 muscle cars don't do terrible on milage either, I can get 24-25 in my '13 mustang if I try to baby it. And still I would be willing to bet the...

    GEN 2 Instrument cluster?

    Oh, center of the gauges. I think all of them are the 4.2 aren't they? That's where the house all of the truck apps and what not. 8" is huge. Look at the center 8" screen. I don't think that fits between the gauges.

    GEN 2 Instrument cluster?

    The order guide says the 801 package includes the 8" touch screen with Sync 3.

    GEN 2 Photos @ EAA Airventure

    It was in the middle of the booth. They had the booth closed up this morning when I was snooping early. Yesterday when I was inside that's where all the soccer moms had their strollers parked. Surprisingly though, the Raptors didn't have much attention. The GT 350s and the GT was the big hotspots.
