    Jay is very likely on the right.

    MY 2023 Raptor R Production Estimate

    Wait, weren't you third on the list at your dealer? I don't mean to pull an "actually". My point is, you're obviously frustrated with that wait, but shouldn't we keep in mind that the reason you've had to wait this long is #1 and #2 had to be completed first, which has shoved your order all...

    Official R Delivered Thread

    Yeah, what was the exact ppf? The discussions I've had in the past were regarding glass/windshield specific products.

    Official R Delivered Thread

    I've been told that windshield ppf works as far as protection goes, but causes prism'ing and other effects at night (spreads the light out weird). Have you noticed anything? I know these products improve over time.

    Official Raptor R PPF Thread

    I'd say the matte white with black accents is definitely appropriate for "Stormtrooper". ;)

    Official Raptor R PPF Thread

    I preferred how my car looks with the Llumar as I prefer the matte texture over the velvety-satin look of the Xpel. Cost wasn't a deciding factor, but I did save money with the Lumar as I didn't need to ceramic it, and I can confirm it's just as hydrophobic as ceramic'd Xpel, because that's...

    Air Compressor and other essentials recommendation?

    I will be acquiring my first Raptor in the coming weeks. While it'll of course make the obligatory trips to the mall, I intend to take it out regularly on the fire access roads around my area. No heavy duty rock crawling, just easy stuff for the most part. I'm planning on keeping the truck...

    Official Raptor R PPF Thread

    You might want to take a closer look at Llumar; I'm not necessarily saying it's better, but it is different enough that one will likely match your tastes over the other. I've personally used *both* Xpel and Llumar matte ppf's on the *same* car, so can give a good first-hand comparison. The...

    I can't remember which brand off the top of my head, but one of the top ones doesn't need ceramic on their ppf.

    Raptor R Vs TRX Motortrend 1/13/23

    Their complaint was that it drowned out the exhaust noise.

    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    I don't necessarily think SavageGeese is a moron, but I completely agree with everything else you said here. Saying I understand where the purists are coming from is not the same as agreeing it's the way to go, especially when I followed it up with flat out stating Ford would sell fewer Raptors...

    Raptor R vs TRX Drag Race

    SavageGeese had this to say on Reddit as an additional comment to his review Sounds like Ford Performance agreed with you, but corporate had other plans. Tony Greco stated in several interviews that the Gen 3 chassis was designed with a V8 in mind from day 1. You can't claim something...

    Broken tie rods

    For an actual Raptor R drag race we of course have this: Raptor R is stronger in a rolling start. Anyway, I got morbidly curious and watched a little bit of those broken Raptor videos. Yeah, it says something when the reviewers make it a point to sling insults at Ford owners in general...

    Ford.com Configurator has 2023 and Raptor R

    For the R, they didn't add $1k. They shifted it. The base is $1k more but the option for the V8 is $1k less.

    The individuals on this forum who are buying Raptor R's don't give me that impression.

    Limited year for

    If you see someone in a Raptor R, I suspect they will not be in need of any "lucrative, $$" plans.

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    I suspect anyone paying the regularly reported ~50k ADM isn't going to post it here, so they don't have to deal with being flamed for either paying that or having enough money that it wasn't an issue.

    Any update on current dealer ADM asks?

    Speaking to several different dealerships in my state, they all expect to get *one* Raptor R. None of these are small dealerships, but they also aren't the *massive* ones I've heard about in other states. I have no doubt some of these higher volume dealerships are getting a few, but I think...

    Anybody else over the new Raptor R already?

    It has very adjustable noise. Apparently when you engage Baja mode it has some warning about not using it on public streets.

    Dealer giving out my R?

    "Your honor, we came to a written agreement with the defendant for a car that turned out to not exist. With the current model year however, we believe something similar enough has been produced, so we offered it as a consolation at the price being offered by us and other nearby dealerships...

    Azure Grey Metallic Raptor R Pics

    Azure is a shade of blue. From other photos I've seen it looks azure blue in some light, and light gray in other light.
