    Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

    It does happen. I believe you need to be willing to fly/drive anywhere to pick it up. Very local/rural/mom and pop stores are probably the only way to get it done without being a fleet purchaser. But if your trying to get MSRP as a first time buyer, in or around a city, at a dealership...

    Avoiding theft

    Don’t do both. Spend the Ravelco money on getting compustar. IGLA and compustar is the better approach. You need something that signals you to a break in and also if someone messes with the vehicle where the axis changes. Biggest thing is protect your truck by doing something. Every...

    Avoiding theft

    I won't try to stir the pot too much. Your best source for all this info is the TRX forum. There is thousands of entries on this topic. Yes ravelco can be beat quite easily. There are videos over on the TRX forum showing how its done. Best bet is IGLA with compustar. Nothings full proof...

    2024 build date???

    Yes at MSRP. Local ford dealer who sells nothing over sticker (at least not to local deliveries, not sure what they do for out of state sales). They had an 801 a month ago for 4K off. They didn’t get a 23 allocation but I got the first 24.

    2024 build date???

    Just heard from dealer. FINALLY got scheduled for the week of 5/27 for my R. Carbonized gray, graphics delete, roof, spray in liner. First placed order 7/22. Almost 2 years later I’m scheduled. Can’t wait.

    IGLA installed L.A

    I would direct you to the TRX forum for complete details on every IGLA installer in the US by city. It also includes who’s good and who isn’t. This is how I found mine in PA. There is also a guy on there who installs the stuff in Kentucky and he is one of the training technicians for newer...

    Antitheft systems needed for Raptor R?

    The key fobs have a very long range. Thieves can even clone your signal from inside your house when they are outside of it. To be most diligent you would keep it in a faraday box all the time except to start the vehicle. Don’t forgot though, they don’t even need your key to steal your car...

    Antitheft systems needed for Raptor R?

    If you have the key fob on you with no protection (ie faraday box, aluminum foil) then yes. If using the app only and no key fob on your person your good to go. Unfortunately they can still break in and steal you car after programming an additional key fob and then drive away. They don’t...

    Antitheft systems needed for Raptor R?

    I don’t sell this stuff. Nice comment ass clown. My TRX had Ravelco. Attempted theft and had to reprogram a whole new key set. Introduce IGLA. Now they can’t. They still can flat bed the truck out. So be it. Now I also have a Durango hellcat that I put IGLA on. My R when delivered...

    Antitheft systems needed for Raptor R?

    This!! Unfortunately IGLA and compustar/drone are the way to go. Ravelco will still allow for key reprogramming while IGLA will not. Also retain remote start. Image that Ravelco saves you vehicle from getting stolen and you still have to get it towed because they made a new key and...

    Any tips on how to prevent vehicle theft?

    Is anyone using IGLA and compustar? I have this currently on my hellcat Durango which is awesome. I was going to put this on my R whenever it arrives. I used Ravelco on my TRX which I thought was good enough but there are now videos on the TRX forum showing how to defeat Ravelco which...

    With the price of TRx, why are folks paying ADM for raptors?

    I would agree with this completely. My gen 2 could easily get about 550-600 miles per tank. My TRX the best I’ve seen was 410. However no matter the trip either truck can outlast my wife’s bladder. So to me it doesn’t matter that much. Now waiting for my R.

    Dealer giving out my R?

    There’s no confusion at all. They want more money than your willing to give them so they will open it up to the highest bidder. I can’t imagine how many of these posts will start to happen when the R actual starts to be delivered. Who knows. May even happen to me. Even with signed...

    Raptor R Stripped Amenities?

    I can’t imagine they would on a halo vehicle. The real question is, what’s fords reason to put them back in. Won’t help sales and decreases profit to put back in.

    Seeing that Ford announce that the Raptor R is really coming..

    Because if I did all that you recommend I couldn’t tell everyone I own an R. I could only say I spend as much money doing all this other stuff that would have cost as much as an R. Reality is you may end up with a better truck in the end as a purpose built truck. However when and if I sell...

    My gen3 vs trx comparison

    The reality is very few people are able to get MSRP for a V6 raptor. Even less than that will be able to get a R at MRSP. But everyone can get a TRX under MSRP by 9-11k from three different dealers in the US with NO hassle and without making 20-50 phone calls. There is a lot to be said...

    Ordered a TRX

    I believe a lot of people on this forum, whether they want to admit it or not, just want the baddest truck they can have regardless of this constant RAM vs FORD crap. I had a 2018 Raptor. It was a great truck. Then the TRX came along. It is an amazing truck. Is it better than the Gen 2, in...

    Any chance the Raptor R will have production deletes?

    I guess everyone is missing the point. I understand they will be loaded. The actual question is will they use up the extra chips for the convenience things (as listed above) or will they continue to delete certain features even for there highest priced truck

    Any chance the Raptor R will have production deletes?

    Just curious on this one. Since the raptor 35/37s are shipping without the digital temperature read out, without cup holder lighting and the list goes on. Is there any chance they would ship the R with anything less then every option accounted for? I currently am 1 on the list for an R...

    Finally I have something to contribute. R in da wild

    That is absolutely a must have truck. I’m in for 10k ADM if you are able to track down the owner for me.

    Dealer Crashed Into My Truck

    They do make money off of service but it has been my experience they are more willing to bend over backwards for a client that purchased there vehicle from them. Ie free loaner car etc. remember this work is coming from there pockets. Not a warranty or paid for service. They may only give so...

    Dealer Crashed Into My Truck

    Just out of curiosity. Is this the same dealership you purchased the vehicle from? I’m sure this will weigh into how much they will cater to you. I would at least want it back to factory new parts regardless of how minimal the scratch is. Also a courtesy vehicle would be expected. Good...
