    Wheel bolt pattern

    Given that the Ranger Raptor is most closely related to the Bronco Raptor, will it also have a 6x135 bolt pattern? I haven't been able to find the full technical specs to confirm that. I am going to go ahead and order a Ranger Raptor (currently have an F150 and Bronco on order as well) just to...

    Being offered a 22 with no Moonroof---Normal?

    Nope, not always. Maybe 1/2 of the time though. I just spent $1800 to fix the one in my wife's Expedition. It had a major failure just outside of the warranty period. And 1 of my F-150s did the same thing. But then I had some that never had an issue...

    Being offered a 22 with no Moonroof---Normal?

    I always order without the moonroof. It's more common for Raptors to be ordered without them than other trims and variants of the F150. If it isn't a deal breaker for you personally, I'd say do it.

    Orange Raptors with colored rims.

    I've seen CO trucks with bronze wheels (when searching pre-owned trucks), but I haven't seen any other colors. I thought the bronze was a good look!

    Opinions on pricing please...

    I agree. The general idea of prices dropping is the likely scenario (we are beginning to see it in certain markets), but to what degree they drop is still up for debate. Despite the improving supply chain, Raptor demand is still outpacing supply. It's just an interesting game of cat and...

    Opinions on pricing please...

    And there are some cheaper than that in my market. 2018 802A (all options except CF, 1-owner, clean CarFax) with 33k miles for $59k. It's interesting to see how things have adjusted. Yes, ADM is starting to come down in certain markets, but a $10k reduction in ADM and a $10k reduction in...

    ADM closer to ending?

    The ADM is a non-objective observance. Obviously every market is different, but dealers that once charged $25k ADM here in Texas are now in the $10-12k range. As for the pre-owned market, I traded my 2020 800A with 15,000 miles in 2021 for $69,500. I think we can all agree that nobody is...

    ADM closer to ending?

    It's definitely true that ADMs are dropping, but so is the used market as well. Gen 2 values have dropped $10-15k over the past 6-8 months. If you sold your G2 a few months back and buy a G3 now, you'll come out smelling like a rose!

    Gen 3 Won't Start

    You already figured it out, but as soon as I saw your post, that was my first thought! The same exact thing happened to me - I was about 50 miles to empty. The truck remote started, and by the time I got there, it was off and would not restart. I let it roll to flat ground, and voila!! If...

    Service Engine Soon Warning after full PPF

    That's pretty funny!! It has to be that they did rewire it correctly. The outer fogs will come on with the headlamps (low beams) if you have them turned on. Obviously you have the option to turn them on or off - depending on your selection, they will remain that way. The outer fogs will turn...

    Service Engine Soon Warning after full PPF

    This is correct. The inner fogs are on Aux 1 from the factory - that's why they come with the cover on them as well...

    10k over sticker for a raptor msrp is 79,945 I have a guy in Houston selling it if anybody is interested

    You're right about the housing market. The highly inflated values were due to peak demand driven in part by historically low interest rates. Now that we're moving toward rates that will exceed 7%, the demand for housing will slow considerably. Some economists I listen to are expecting home...

    Build week of 10/31/22!

    I sure hope so. I miss having a Raptor... I'm driving an Explorer ST right now, and it's been fun to play with. The 3.0TT is pretty responsive to modifications, and it will certainly surprise some unsuspecting drivers. But in the end, I am ready to DD a truck again.

    10k over sticker for a raptor msrp is 79,945 I have a guy in Houston selling it if anybody is interested

    That price also seems like a pre-price increase MSRP... You can't build that truck for less than about $82-83k right now.

    Build week of 10/31/22!

    That will be a fun drive home! I live in north Texas and bought my '21 in southern LA. That was a really fun trip! Unfortunately that truck had the terrible clunking from the Fox shocks, and after 4 months and 10k miles, I just couldn't take it any more. I was one of the first '23 orders...

    Build week of 10/31/22!

    Nice! I ordered from a dealer here in Texas on 7/21 with a confirmation email from Ford the same day. Crickets so far... Maybe I should have ordered Avalanche - it seems like a lot of those have been scheduled so far.

    Congrats!! When did you place your order? And what did you order?

    2nd guessing my choice of Avalanche Grey

    I couldn't help but laugh just a bit at your post. I very briefly had the same bout with second guessing myself, but I was concerned I would regret not ordering AG. In the end, I want something bright that stands out even further from the crowd, so I am sticking with CO. Don't overthink it...

    My 2023 rolled order just got scheduled for 10/17/22. 37 package, Avalanche Grey

    Congrats! That's awesome! That answers the question as to whether any retail scheduling was done today. Now the wait begins...

    Balanced Out

    Correct. A truck with a VIN cannot be balanced out.

    35 vs 37 package

    Yes! I don't have to worry about parking structures in rural Texas. My first G3 was a 35, and now I have a 37 on order.

    Rolled to a 23, dealer says avalanche gray is “late avail color” and 2k pro power required with 37 package..

    This was my thought as well. With it being a new color for the plant, I could understand it being delayed. However, Ford typically indicates which items will be late availability on the order guide. I haven't had the opportunity to go back and look, but perhaps someone else will.

    Rolled to a 23, dealer says avalanche gray is “late avail color” and 2k pro power required with 37 package..

    The Pro-Power's availability is likely tied to the 3.5EB, not the 37pp option. For whatever reason, it's not an option with the 5.2L.

    Rolled to a 23, dealer says avalanche gray is “late avail color” and 2k pro power required with 37 package..

    It's already unanimous, but the pro-power and rear storage are required on the 37pp - I noticed they were required by the order guide, but I was going to order them anyway... As for the Avalanche Gray, I have not previously seen that the color was going to be 'late availability', so I can't...
