    Raptor R purchase would you do it again?

    Yes, best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I paid 10k over, which was a great deal….I got the first batch out to customers. Ford will never make enough of them to go under msrp, great buy.

    Daily Drive or Weekender?

    I daily, 3500 miles so far. I took delivery in mid Jan. I’m hoping for an 800hp manual next get ford gt or gt500 to give the R a break here and there ;)

    Exhausted But Committed

    I was afraid of that too. I didn’t know the price until the truck was delivered. He told me 10k over sticker, I to that point never expected to take delivery of the truck. I fully expected a 30k or 40k ADM. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have taken the truck…out of principal. I wouldn’t...

    Exhausted But Committed

    Am I the only one out here that is on the dealerships side in all this. These dealerships get a handful of special models per decade. If you want a special model, it comes with a special price. The car won’t depreciate and has a wow factor that will never go away. Dealerships sell to people...

    Fan noise on driver side inside cab

    It’s most likely the air conditioned seat. It took me a hour to figure it out. It’s loud and hard to tell where it’s coming from. Hopefully that’s all it is.

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    None of those listed updates will affect the premiums being paid for 23’s. If you are getting an R, do you care about a change in taillights or headlights or a HUD? When I stomp my foot down and smile, that’s what I paid for. Also exclusivity.

    Feelings? Thoughts?

    Not a drop from mine(2200 miles)……so far. Should be a simple fix, hopefully.

    Panel gap issue

    Picky?!? It doesn’t look like much in the pic, but will get worse. I was thinking a simple panel adjustment so it will quit rubbing and I’ll touch it up myself. I already have a paint stick on order. I’ve already had it ceramic coated and don’t want it repainted. When I pick up the paint...

    Raptor R rims

    Beat me to it, thanks. A unique rim with a unique finish as well. I am waiting until i decide if I’m taking it to around 1000hp. If so, I’ll go with the 13.5. If I leave it stock, I’ll stick with the 12.5. I’ll let some you you cowboys lead the way. You can safely take a gt500 it 1000, I’m...

    Panel gap issue

    I’m sorry “corrodes”…….. when the paint rubs off and the aluminum rubs and vibrates together and is exposed to the elements for the next few years, it will corrode. Anyone have anything useful or helpful to say?

    Panel gap issue

    You don’t see the panels rubbing together and the paint coming off? I figure an adjustment and paint touch up should be a minimum. I could care less right now, but in 5 or 6 years it’s going to rust.

    Raptor R rims

    Thanks, I can save 15-20 lbs a wheel depending on what I go with….should be a big difference.

    Panel gap issue

    Had anyone else that’s taken delivery of a Raptor R or gen 3 had these panel gap issues? Is this a warranty claim that I should take up with the dealer?

    Raptor R rims

    Does anyone know how much the Raptor R’s rims weigh? I want to pick up a lighter set, but if the cost doesn’t justify the weight savings, I’ll keep them stock. On EBay the stock R rims/tires are going for around 5k, seems expensive but would take a big bite out of the HRE’s I’m looking at.

    Worth it

    It will be selling for much more than the ADM’s now. What does everyone else think? If you’ve got the scratch and don’t mind paying a big ADM, go for it. Is it worth it? All depends on who you ask. GL

    Worth it

    I have about 1800 miles on my R. It’s my everyday driver, I think I’ll keep it forever. I paid 10k ADM, 126 out the door. For that, I couldn’t be happier. The quiet mode is amazingly quiet, couldn’t believe it. Long trip highway drone is completely gone. It’s your call with paying that...
