    Raptor Acne! Factory Paint Blemish

    It may be, but it matched the pictures and descriptions of solvent popping. Either way, same solution.

    The roof, not hood, but yeah that's what I'm trying for.

    Raptor Acne! Factory Paint Blemish

    "It'll buff out".. -What ever moron the dealer took it to. Now it's worse, and I'm getting the runaround.

    Raptor Acne! Factory Paint Blemish

    My 2023 delivered in July has the same issue. I am pretty sure it is solvent popping. After two 10 day stays at a third party body shop, they gave up on sanding and buffing them out. Now it is worse and the dealer said they can't fix it, and I need to take it to a dealership that has a body...

    Anyone aware of a raptor on the east coast at MSRP?

    This is exactly what I did (talking to all of the dealers within ~100 miles), and get put on there list. So far it seems to have worked. Non said they would do MSRP, so I just said that is what I am looking for, and please call me if something changes. Many laughed and hung up, some took my name...

    Anyone aware of a raptor on the east coast at MSRP?

    I just had our local dealer in Chattanooga call me with a 2023 allotment that I was able to order for MSRP. I did have to get the beadlocks (35 inch), as it was the only option showing available when they ordered. No options otherwise. I had called over 100 dealers and had my name on a list to...

    Whipple 3.8L Supercharger Upgrade - Pics inside

    Will Lethal soon have a Raptor R E85 kit? I don't care about mega power, just optimized timing and fueling for E85 with the stock pully / stock supercharger. I figure minimum ID1050 injectors and bost-a-pump, which is fine. If you can tune for this supercharger, hopefully that means you can...

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    Thanks for that. Since I have a standard raptor on order also, and it's not a big deal to me if I don't get it, we'll just see how this goes. I'll report back here. Should be a fun experiment.

    How many years will the Raptor R be made for?

    It's all about personal opinion of course, but I love that the R looks exactly like the standard raptor. I hope my order arrives pre facelift. I've always been into sleepers and have driven plenty of them.

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    @Stormtrooper -- You seem to know you stuff. Is the part about having a decent chance when ordering from a dealer without allocation here true for the Raptor R, or just standard Raptor? I did order from a rural dealer that isn't next to an interstate. Not super small, but not a large city...

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    Yeah, I did a lot of reading on dealers, and contacted the ones with a reputation of not doing that. That being said, I'll plunk down a large deposit if/when I get a VIN number and build date.

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    Gotcha. Makes sense. It's not a big deal to me, I just wanted to give it a shot. I think they do have an allocation, but we'll just have to see. I also ordered a standard raptor at the same time, just in case. Looking for Decemberish delivery of one or the other.

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    I just joined this form and am totally new to Raptors. After two weeks of calling all over the country, I found a nearby dealership that would and could order a R at MSRP for me. I got the "order preview" last Monday from Ford. My hope is to have it delivered around December. Any advice would...
