Well guys, I had an XLT on order since April. My truck was delayed for a bit for a QA hold. It's finally on its way to the dealership and should be there in 7-10 days.

But, on Friday I just read the news that ALL Rangers will be issued a stop sale if built prior to July 30th.

I became too impatient and decided to look at the Raptor again. It's always been a dream truck since they were released but just never wanted to spend that much money over the XLT..

Not a lot of Raptors sitting on dealers lots that aren't currently effected by the stop sale.

Found this azure grey and got it for a decent bit under MSRP!! Never saw one in person yet, but really liked the uniqueness in person.

This truck is amazing!

Awesome truck. Good deal. Was wondering if your Raptor has the stubby electronic shifter for parking assist? My dealer has one in Marsh Gray below MSRP I am thinking about

I need to brush up on all the RR facts. But I thought for 2025 they removed the auto park assist feature.
This is what my shifter looks like

Looks like Ford dropped Active Parking Assist but kept the electronic shifter in Raptor. Maybe to control the Raptor electronic transmission? Don't know. You are going to need Borla cat back dual exhaust with black chrome tips. You can listen to them online at Borla. You made a very nice choice. Congrats again.

I believe the 2025 model does not have park assist. Should be no problem. I’m sure if you can drive a raptor, you can park a raptor. Enjoy your new truck.

Used park assist 0 times in 16 months, but rural living doesn't often present parallel parking opportunities.
