50psi when picked up at dealership - lowered to 38psi and agree, ride is MUCH better. I also could see less contact on the outside of the tire at 50psi (black on outside, gravel gray towards middle) - which made me think there was an inflation issue, checked the door sticker, and dropped the...

There is absolutely no excuse for such poor communication on behalf of Ford when it comes to managing expectations on trucks. When I had my first ETA of 04NOV, I took my trade to the dealership and got a decent appraisal. When my truck finally arrived and I went to pick her up at the end of...

Got the Diamondback cover on & the BedTred installed - this is about as far as she goes for now...

Aftermarket options include: 1.365" shank, 0.950" shank, & 0.580" shank Anyone know which of those is correct?

Truck delivered with CF and beadlocks... dates in signature block below:

Anybody know off the top of their head what size wheel lock shanks fit the OEM beadlock wheels? The Ford accessories wheel locks are zinc plated for hidden lugs - which is not the case on the Raptor. Thanks!

FINALLY got her home yesterday. It was quite a wait - but as others have said, it was worth the wait (still not forgiving Ford's poor communication with stakeholders). Haven't noticed anything negative about the truck. I've been babying her on drives and averaging 18mpg over the past 56miles...

Don't pick her up until tomorrow, but Ford note says 53.6mi - at the dealership it now has 76.6mi. Does it really take 23mi to load/unload from a train?

The good news - she arrived at the dealership today (over 3 months after being built)! The bad news - out of town for work through Saturday - hopefully pick her up on Sunday.

I sent that guy a note a while back on LinkedIn asking for some expectation management on early build delays. Not surprisingly, he did not respond.

Concur. There are lots of things my dealer SHOULD know - but absolutely does not. They said the truck would be dropped at the Norfolk Southern office at 1500 Carson St, Raleigh, NC 27608. That's what they told me... still no truck or any indications of when it will arrive from Winston-Salem...

Window sticker said CONVOY but shipped by rail this past week from MI to NC - window sticker updated after the truck left to RAIL. My dealer insisted the train would go to Raleigh (where the dealership is) - but stopped and unloaded in Winston-Salem (about 100mi away) today and my dealer has no...

I had a 2011 F250 for 5 years with moonroof - not a drop ever (carwash, downpours, hurricane).

Believe it or not, I got a direct message out of the blue on Twitter straight from Mike Levine telling me my truck has shipped! Better than my dealer can do. The truck is on a train - currently in Ohio on its way to NC. The ETA was recently revised to the 31st - hope she gets in early!

Another surprise from Ford Service today! My ETA was pushed from 23JAN to 31JAN - WTF?!?! I've had ETA's: 04NOV 06NOV TBD (forever) 23JAN 31JAN This is beyond ridiculous.

Birthday wish come true? My window sticker finally caught up to the change from CONVOY to RAIL today - but according to Ford Service, still not shipped to meet the new ETA of 23JAN. Nice to hear about so many trucks finding their way home and happy to not be in Raptizzle's shoes - but...

Apologies if this is a "re-ask", but what brand/model is this (a few have been posted by now)? 30 seconds to install with perfect fit is all the review I need to order some. Thanks for the pic!

It's not shocking that Ford found an issue and spent months trying to get it worked out - that's fine. The problem is they violated the business rule of "keep all relevant stakeholders informed". I don't believe there'd be but a fraction of the frustration if Ford would've managed expectations...

Monday I received an ETA of 23JAN; today the details populated on the dealer locator - even though my window sticker says CONVOY, the truck is shipping by RAIL - with delivery between the 17th and 23d. Can't wait to join the G2 Raptor owners' club!

Apparently iOS allows for wireless connection, it's up to the hardware to utilize it (at the expense of sound quality and battery life). "Rumors have been circulating about wireless CarPlay since the software was included in the initial iteration of iOS 9. So far, there has not been any...

Way back when in mid October I had an ETA of 04NOV - which changed to 06NOV - been TBD ever since late October until TODAY when my ETA changed to 23JAN.... we'll see. At least it's something! Tic, toc...

Congrats! My 10/21 build was released 12/20 and if ever shipped, would be inbound to Capital. Funny how these trucks aren't even batched by build date/release date/location - just randomly sent out, seemingly.

Just asked my dealer to get their regional rep involved in finding out WTF is up with my truck and they sent me the number to Ford Performance. Steaming! :mad:

Ford simply doesn't care. I believe the rollout was botched and Ford could've done a much better job communicating with both dealers and their customers - but they didn't. I sent an email to the Ford VP of US Marketing, Sales, and Service (Mark LaNeve) explaining the disconnect between their...

Pg 290 of the OM "You need to break in new tires for approximately 300 mi (480 km). During this time, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual driving characteristics. Avoid driving too fast during the first 1,000 mi (1,600 km). Vary your speed frequently and change up through the gears early...
