Greetings guys, glad to be apart of the forum! I am here to learn more about these trucks as I should be getting my Gen 3 in the coming weeks or days(fingers crossed). Ive held back to this point from making a post but after checking the ford order tracking I realized that I was really close to being in the drivers seat. I’m in northern Alabama so any of you Raptor forum members in this area im Sure I’ll see you on the roads. I didn’t go too crazy with my build and only have 2 regrets, 1 being that I didn’t delete start stop function and 2 that I didn’t go with the upgraded 17” wheels. I did attempt to change it after the fact however the truck was in production by the time I actually got back with my dealer. I do understand options to fix both of these are available but It would have been nice if I could have saved myself the time and money getting it done right out the factory. I look forward to the conversations..

don’t sweat the wheels, we’re here to help spend your money. both Justin at Pacific Wheel and Nick at Apollo Optics will be able to hook you up with better looking, lighter weight wheels, even bead locks if you want and probably for less.

You should be shopping right now so you have them by the time your truck gets here.

So guys, the wait is coming to a close. My salesman sent me photos of my vehicle fresh off the truck!! The downside is that I’m not in the area so I have to take final delivery next week but still pumped nonetheless less. I will post more pics when it’s cleaned up and I take delivery.

So I finally got the truck and I couldn’t keep the stock wheels on it. I hate that I didn’t go with the factory bead lock capable option but I found some Fuel wheels that are to my liking. Stock tires, new wheels, a little offset.
