    Got my VIN and delivery date today!

    Well, with a first week of September order, no VIN or scheduled build date I threw in the towel this week. Building a Lariat special edition with Roushcharger, lowered 1.5/3", 22's (for winter), RKSport hood and a few other items and saving 15k. Given I would have never offroaded the Raptor...

    so if you haven't ordered already - what to get?

    I debated buying a platinum and then giving her the full Roush treatment. Decided on the Raptor but if this thing doesn't get scheduled for delivery before spring / summer I'm going to take my marbles and get a platinum to build from.

    I'd bet there is some of this going on. Too bad Ford gives us no way to understand if that is actually happening. As I said before, I'll give it another month and if no VIN by then I'll wait for a 2018. I don't want a 2017 months before the 2018's hit the lot.

    Help me fund a 2017 Ford Raptor

    You're right, as someone in their late 20's, following the law, legally in the country I didn't have the patience to wait in the exact same job for 8-10 years. By following the rules I would need to put my career on hold during my prime advancement years. Meanwhile, watching anchor babies and...

    Help me fund a 2017 Ford Raptor

    Maybe they're doing it to collect addresses and round them up? Fat chance.... As a Canadian who lived in the US (legally) I always found the immigration rules to be a piss off. If an illegal jumps the border and has a kid they are granted citizenship as the child is automatically American...

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    During this entire messed up process what has ford done to prove your confidence? More negatives than positives thus far, if the truck didn't have a cult following this could have been one of the worst launches in product history.

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    And I checked with my dealer, thus far they have 6 of 22 that have been given build schedules. Given I am 13 of 22 I could see getting a schedule in about another 1.5-2 months with a build date in February or March. Add about 4-6 weeks to ship it to Ottawa, Canada and I'll just tell them to...

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    Same boat here, ordered early September, not even a VIN yet. In another month if it looks like this thing is going to arrive in summer I am cancelling my order and going to get a 2018. I hate getting a new truck for it to be immediately old within a few months. If I'm buying in spring or...

    Wonder is a good exhaust will help the sound?

    Torque, this a heavy truck, that 5.2 v8 has less torque than the outgoing 6.2. They weren't about to make it less powerful for sound. To get over 500lbs of torque in the 5.2 it would likely need forced induction, you've then got an engine that only works for the raptor and specialty mustang...

    2018 Raptor

    The changes are to address the issues with dropping concrete and toolboxes into the bed. Notice how it's all focused around that area :crazy:

    You guys are all preparing for the move up to Canada eh?

    2018 Raptor with 5.0 V8 Ecoboost

    Yup, I use the mustang as an indicator for price...mustang fastback with ecoboost is 30k msrp up here. Gt350 is 73k msrp, add say another 10k for TT and that's a 50k jump. I'd say we'd be looking at about 30k more up north for the raptor in ttv8 form, that's a lot of change, 120k for a half...

    Got my VIN and delivery date today!

    Here's a question, any Canadians getting build dates through ford service Canada on Facebook? If not that source, what are you using? May try just ford service rather than the Canadian version...

    Got my VIN and delivery date today!

    I'm almost 7 weeks with nothing...I'm hoping for that magical call from my dealer saying it's here and Ford service knows nothing lol. I'm an optimist :biggrin:

    Axle problem on 2017 Raptors (news)

    Roush could also be contracted to be the second set of eyes of this first batch from the factory. Highly doubt it but I sure wouldn't mind if those guys gave mine a once over.

    2017 Ford Raptor taking off

    Exactly, it doesn't have enough potential usages across the lineup, if a TTV8 version was available for say 10k more I'd be all over that. 30-50k more and I don't think I could justify it. Better chance of ford bringing back the lightning with the 5.2 and either a couple hairdryers or a blower.

    2017 Ford Raptor taking off

    What other vehicles is ford going to offer a TTV8 in? No way it hits the standard F150 and also no way it's in a standard mustang. That leaves low production number Raptor's, Shelby 350's and the Ford GT. The development costs to setup for a platform like this with so low numbers would be...

    Axle problem on 2017 Raptors (news)

    I'm confident they will get this right, until dates are pushing beyond December we don't need to panic. The Gen 2 actually is quite a bit different than the F150 where the Gen 1 is an F150 submodel. The Gen 2 uses a different frame, motor, suspension, body. The Gen 1 was just the suspension...

    I'm going to ask the line-x guys what to use but I think anything rigid which can be stuck on would work (wood, aluminum, etc).

    GEN 2 Truck Order Discussion

    Line-X had to redo my dodge 3 times when new. First go, drips and runs everywhere. Second time, overspray all over white truck and gobs around the edges. Third time was a winner. I'll be getting line-x again but using a different dealer, might even make up some "Raptor" logos to style...

    CADILLAC Escalade or Raptor

    The Escalade EXT was a nice luxury truck but totally different than the Raptor. I guess the Denali is now the closest you can get but I would have considered an EXT myself as most of my offroading will be in the bush to camps and it isn't the most challenging (EXT could have handled it). With...

    It is outsourced (from what I was told).... your truck is built, leaves the factory via truck to get sprayed and then returns for shipping. That is why there is a delay.
