    Driver Seat Height

    I sold my 2013 Super Crew and picked up a new 2018 Super Crew. I think the seat height in the 2018 is higher? I feel like that even at the lowest option, my line of sight is well over halfway up the windshield. There is actually a huge blind spot where the rear view mirror is. I'm only 5-10...

    Aux switches

    Something I found when I was researching them is that they are all hot. I was looking for a source to hook up a dashcam that would be tied to the ignition. I ended up running it elsewhere. In the end, it works out better for me as I don't have the need to shut off the dashcam that often.

    Sync/Nav screen dead!

    Anyone else had this issue? The sync/nav screen doesn't come on at all. i can hear the radio (the station it was on when it died). I can control the volume with the knob and the control on the steering wheel...but no other controls work on the right side of the wheel. No changing stations...

    Gear indicator on the 4.2 screen

    I don't know if this is limited to the 2013's....On the 4.2 screen (behind the steering wheel) i sometimes see a gear indicator down the right side that tells me what gear I'm in. I only see this in "D" ...I'm not in manual shifting. There are times it shows and then it's gone. I've not been...

    Antenna too high for garage...

    So my truck fits in the garage with a couple inches at best over the roof. My metal radio antenna catches when going in or out and whips and twangs! Yeah, I said it. Anyway, I can't be the first person to deal with this... What options are available? I've read in here that some of the...

    I had mine memorized and the saleswoman was shocked. She: how/why did you memorize the VIN?? Me: have you never ordered a Raptor for anyone?

    I thought of the hangover/Lion bitterness also...not sure if it helped that they had a bye the day before mine was built.

    I tried to be there when mine was born on Monday. I missed it by a couple hours. Still got the factory tour but wasn't quite the same.

    I don't know about LA.... But they, or something very similar, are a must in the snowbelt! Well worth the outlay.

    So I know my truck was built yesterday (10/8)... How long do I have? I've heard anywhere from 3-6 weeks to make it 30+ miles to my dealer here in southeast MI. Anybody have realistic time estimates for my wait?

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    They didn't. I was trying to make it happen that I could see it being built. I was on the upper walkway overlooking the plant. I don't see how you could know where your vehicle was unless someone with knowledge assisted. I am told that if you are a baller you can get a floor tour- (I am...

    They were building today. I did a factory tour trying to spot mine. I was told that wham I got there, about 1:30, that it had already rolled out of final assembly. Btw- the tour is awesome and well worth it.

    J0shM1lls' 2013 Tux Black Raptor

    I have weathertech mats for my tundra and my wife's Lincoln. They work awesome...until the Toyota dealership cuts the mat to "fix the accelerator issue." Now everything just drains back to the floorboard! Good thing it's being replaced soon.

    Thanks for the pics Josh... The mats look nice but I'll need something deeper for the Michigan snow/slush/ice/salt season!

    So I'm wondering if anyone knows the answer to this.... I want to SEE the sausage being made. My order is set to build 10/8. I am going on a tour of the Dearborn Factory Tour through the Henry Ford on 10/8. I am sure to see a bunch of trucks from infancy to completion....but will I see...

    I ordered 8/13 and got a voicemail from my dealer that I am in the Oct 8 build week. She said 3 weeks after to pick it up. No VIN yet as I was not able to call back on Friday. I was Pri 10. Seeing actual pics just makes it harder to wait.

    Hey guys... Ordered a Blue Screw 8/9 - now all i have is a DORA and impatience. Really wish I could drive the 30 miles or so to Dearborn to pick it up and save the $995 "destination" fee. In the meantime I'll be waiting here - impatiently.
