I agree with Dingus. For the money, all the Toyotas (which are great trucks, I’ll say, I’ve owned 3) feel cheap and plasticy. I’m sure I’ll own a handful of Toyotas again in my life, but I would never, ever, consider buying one new. To pay $50k+ for something that feels like a used vehicle...
Checking in ??.
Came to the RR from a 2018 Tacoma TRD Off-Road. That Tacoma is one of the worst trucks I’ve ever owned. Mechanically it was reliable and fine, but that’s the minimum requirement for any vehicle. It was grossly unpowered, had a terrible transmission, terrible gearing and shift...
Thanks for the insights. I was afraid it was the latter and yeah, I think that is worse now that you mention it.
I’ve always driven Tacomas, and have had a Ram 1500 and some Chevys. This RR will be my first Ford and it’s looking like it will be my last. Should have gone with the Tacoma TRD Pro...
Yeah. This kind of shit is so infuriating. Mainly because they leave the customers in the dark about it. They won’t tell me anything about my vehicle, and haven’t since the tracker was updated 6/7. It’s just a black box of mystery. And every person and department I’ve reached out to is...
Yeah, I suppose it just feels good to have literally any piece of information about it. Has been a complete mystery for 4 months. Now it’s… less of a mystery… I guess? ??
My truck has been built since 6/7, with no updates since then. I have a research ticket submitted to Ford and my dealer has been hounding his rep about why the truck hasn’t shipped. He just got this from the rep today:
Nice! Maybe you should hang on to your order that hasn't shipped and sell me your white one (that's the color I ordered) when you get the blue one, since mine is apparently never leaving Detroit ?. lol
Yup. 6/7 blend date according to window sticker. All modules have been live since then too. Support chat said my estimated delivery date was 7/15 - 7/19, but that didn't happen. And no word from Ford on anything since my "in production" notification email on 6/7, and tracker still says in...
The Shelter Green color looks cool in pictures on a perfectly washed and waxed truck in perfect light, but the first RR I've seen in person was Shelter Green and it doesn't look good at all. Kinda green, kinda brown, but not a good looking shade of either. Just kinda blah. Seems like one of...
I'm also going to order the X4ts for my RR. I have had the BAK Revolver X4 on my Tacoma for like 4 years now and I love it. Happy to share my experience if it helps you make a decision.
Initially, I couldn't decide between the rolling vs the folding. Ultimately, based on my personal use case, I...
Nothing official. He just said based on his experience (30+ years in auto sales), “it’s likely going to be around 6 months.” He clarified that he hasn’t heard anything directly from Ford and that’s just his personal expectation.
Same. Ordered mine (RRaptor) through local dealership through a personal connection. He entered it as a stock order, priority 20, and has just been forwarding me anything he gets from Ford.
Yeah, I would never even consider one of those ones that rolls into a box because that’s really intrusive in the bed. The rolling Bakflip at least rolls up and sits on top of the bed.
I’ve tried both. I like the tri-fold because you get the whole bed, but it blocks the back window.
The roll-up leaves the back window unobscured and gives you partial coverage wherever you roll it to, but you do lose like 4-6 inches of the bed when hauling things taller than the bedsides. For...
