Yesterday I was at the San Antonio Livestock Show & Rodeo and Ford was there with one of their Factory Engine Trailers. I couldn’t resist walking in and telling them that I had two Gen 1’s and two Gen 2’s and what a bad idea it was to put a V6 in the Raptor. They smiled, told me that Ford has...

So the 18 Raptor I ordered in Texas and drop shipped to Alaska shows on my dealers order screen delivered to the dealer on Monday. Except it’s now Thursday and it’s not there. And Ive personally looked, it’s really not there. Any way to find out where it really is? Sent from my iPhone using...

18 ordered in Texas (no vin yet). Ford drop ship to Alaska, courtesy delivery from dealer up here. Yep I'm back. Disappointed Avalanche is no longer available. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally arrived today. AG is a great color. Actually in the sun not like the picture but a gray with a tint of blue. 99.9 miles on it from Ford. Haven't noticed any note explaining the high mileage. Out of 32 allocations this is only the second they have received. Beautiful truck for sure.

My Raptor arrived at the dealership today. I'm selling it. If seriously interested PM me. Thanks.

You'll never regret it! DANGER THREAD DRIFT THREAD DRIFT (ok I know too late) Here is a little off-road airplane porn (a little after a minute in) https://vimeo.com/185178875 185178875

Thanks. Fly by JBER frequently on my way north. If you ever get back up there give me a shout and I'll show you my play ground, it's the coolest place on earth.

Sterling, on the Kenai Peninsula, near Soldotna.

Yep, that's also a SQ-2. Cool. Mine is the prototype. The SQ-2 is the ultimate "off-roader" of planes.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. No doubt there is another Raptor in my future but it will never again be a first model year with so many new components. If the CEO (or his people) respond to my letter I'll certainly post it here, but not holding my breath. You'll get a kick to know that...

Excited for my MSRP July Order, October build, Dec 3 Release, Dec 31 shipped AG 802A SCREW to be on a train headed to Texas, ETA Jan 21-26. Thought I'd drop by my dealer, say hi, and see if they knew exactly where the truck was. Dealer pulled up my vin and ETA moved to middle of February. Called...

I'm choosing to have the dealer prep mine. This will be the third Raptor I've purchased from them and the fifth truck (other two were King Ranches). All were prepped, cleaned and detailed fine, no issues. And this time, because it spent so much time at Ramp 59, I definitely want it cleaned and...

When my July ordered October built January shipped '17 gets here I'll be driving it from Texas to Alaska. What is the best Ice/Snow Stud tire for our '17 Raptors. Not looking for the best tire to go plowing through snow, but the best tire for driving on the icy/snow plowed roads I'll encounter...

I guess that depends on your definition of "soon". No v8 in the '18 Raptor, at least according to Ford's website - will be the same motor we get in '17.

Awesome. Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just got off the phone with FP. Confirmed the truck is on the rail. ETA to Covert Ford in Texas is between Jan 21 and Jan 26.

If Ford does it right it won't be as bad as you might think - if Ford does it right. My other car is a BMW i8, which is BMW's Supercar. A 3 cylinder turbo-charged engine in the back coupled to a six speed automatic transmission, and an electric motor in the front coupled to a two speed automatic...

Hey! Window Sticker! Been checking it every day just in case and today it showed. Friday the MSO was released, maybe that is a prerequisite for a window sticker? Heck, what do I know.

Just talked with FP. Last update Dec 31. As of then Truck was at Ramp 58 which is the Rail loading area. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

*For the sake of conversation...* Just one of many rumors I've heard down here in Texas. But same thing would apply if it were a reprogramming fix, in fact even more so, if it works in one truck it works in all. Think about how your laptop, or tablet, or phone is updated, a software fix is...

Guess I'm supposed to have introduced myself. Howdy folks, I'm Barnstormer. Had a 2012, then 2014 Raptor, and now a 2017 "Stealth" Raptor cause no one can see it; not me, not my Ford dealer and not Ford itself. Hmmmm. Bought the Stealth Raptor in Texas but I'll be driving it up to my...

This "test" miles thing is interesting. For the sake of conversation let's say that 15,000+ Raptors built in October and November (it now seems a great deal of the November trucks befell the same fate as October trucks) needed new transmissions, or replacement parts in the existing transmission...
