    Anyone in the market?

    Anyone in the market - Nemer Ford in Queensbury, NY has a 2023 Raptor in a charcoal grey. Mine was in for service yesterday and they were pre delivering it. Fairly basic model but they’re just happy to have it on the lot...

    Interior flaws

    You didn't buy a Bentley but you didn't buy a Yugo either. I worked hard and waited a long time to get my Raptor and I agree, you have reasonable expectations for it to be showroom quality upon delivery. A dirty window, no big deal. Scratches or chips of any kind, to me, is a trip back to the...

    Anyone looking for a used Raptor?

    SERIOUSLY! Is it upholstered with unicorn fur? Sorry. I had no idea.

    Anyone looking for a used Raptor?

    Anyone looking for a used Raptor? DISCLAIMER - I know nothing about the vehicle other than I saw it sitting on the lot at Romeo’s Toyota on Broad Street in Glens Falls, NY. It’s the ruby red (same as mine), looks gorgeous on the outside from a distance. Never know - It might be just what...

    Allocation Opportunity…?

    I post this as a proud owner of a 2018 Raptor. Perspectives vary widely between those who own, or have owned a Raptor and those anxiously awaiting their first one. I remember that feeling. I am fortunate to have what I consider THE BEST relationship with my dealership, Sale Associate, Sales...

    Going to Ceramic Coat Truck

    We have a very reputable "car salon" here locally. They do incredible work. I had my 2018 Raptor scheduled to go in this week but I backed out a couple weeks ago. $3,000 is a lot of money but it would have been worth every penny. Unfortunately, the truck sits in the back yard with 22,000...

    Mud Flaps - should I / should I not?

    I put the WeatherTech flaps on front, rear and mid-ship. Wouldn't be without them on any of my vehicles.

    Was Running Fine Yesterday…

    I leave the mechanical work to the mechanics but the first thing that popped into my head based on what you described with the break pedal was an ABS malfunction. The error messages are certainly concerning. However, sometimes a malfunction in one control module tends to make other modules...

    Sorry for the delay. I should check my messages more often. The ruby red one might be gone. I...

    Sorry for the delay. I should check my messages more often. The ruby red one might be gone. I only see the orange one on the lot now. Nemer Ford, 518-798-8834, Ask for Jason or Jim. Tell them I referred you. Good luck. It's a crazy market for sure.

    Can't Find Aux Switch Wires

    It's been a while since I did my radio install but I remember vividly it was nearly impossible to find the wire bundle behind the passenger kick panel. Hard to get to, hard to see and then hard to remove the tape that held the bundle. I almost gave up and hired someone.

    Anyone looking for a new Raptor?

    My dealer has two new Raptors sitting on the lot - One Orange and one Ruby Red if anyone is looking. I don't have a dog in the fight so price and ADM has nothing to do with me. If you're interested, PM me and I'll give you a contact.

    RIP My 2022 Raptor....

    As I've posted many times, I trust my dealership wholeheartedly. I hope you enjoy the same relationship with yours. With that said... the skeptical side of me finds this difficult to believe. Possible? Of course. Likely? Not so much. Another customer offering cash over sticker? That I...

    Another Shady Dealer

    Let me offer a little different perspective knowing full well I may get beat up for it. I wanted and waited for a long time before I finally purchased my Gen 2 in January 2018. I love my truck and by far my favorite vehicle bar none. Granted we live in a very different world now than we did...

    Anyone wanna piss away $40k?

    My Raptor is a 2018 802a, ruby red with 21,700 miles. Last summer they ball parked giving me $65k for it. I paid just over $72k. Tempting, but I love my truck.

    Anyone wanna piss away $40k?

    That actually surprises me a little. I also have a new Bronco Sport and posted a gripe on the BS Forums. Within a day or two, I got a reply on the Forum and 3 or 4 phone calls from a Ford CS representative. My dealership took care of the issue without any problems and the CS rep called to...

    Wanted to Buy : 2021 or 2022 Raptor 37 Package with ADM expected

    Nemer Ford in Queensbury, NY has a 2021 Velocity Blue sitting on the lot. I've driven it. It is a gorgeous truck but blue is no my color. Send me a PM if you want a contact and phone number. They have treated me and my family like family for years.

    Anyone wanna piss away $40k?

    I'm not sure how they justify that to their long time customers. I think it's going to be an interesting couple of years in the vehicle sales business.

    Quick Review Gen 3

    The General Manager, Sales Manager and my sales guy are THE best. I would never go anywhere else. We test drove a Mach E mustang too. We are fortunate to say the least. I used to hate dealerships.

    Quick Review Gen 3

    Mine is a 2018. Fox shocks but not the live valve style. Softer (almost car-like ride)

    Quick Review Gen 3

    LOL no. In fact I am frequently criticized for babying my truck. Always spotless inside and out and no one has even sat in the back seat. I worked too hard and waited too long to beat the fire out of it.

    Quick Review Gen 3

    Had to take my Bronco Sport in for service today and my sales guy was kind enough to let me take a vehicle home instead of waiting. He let me take a Gen 3 Raptor with the 37 Performance package. I offer this very basic review. Ruby red is my color so the blue does nothing for me. I like the...

    Issues with running Raptor through a Car Wash?

    You raise a good point. I just assumed they all "recycled" the water but I also assumed it went through a fairly rigorous filtration process. Otherwise there's a fine line between high pressure rinse and sandblasting. I may never take mine through again.

    Issues with running Raptor through a Car Wash?

    I've always done the touch free weekly (at least) and by hand when time and weather permits. It's like washing a freakin' house but well worth it. Hard lesson to learn if the tracks are too narrow and you damage your driver's side bead locks. And you probably know the car wash will take ZERO...

    Rubber trim under headlight trim...what are they?

    Definitely REMOVE them before the damage starts. Very poor design. Earlier in this thread I posted photos. There are 4 or 5 plastic push style pins that hold them in place. I had the body shop remove them while they had the parts off to repaint and clear coat.
