JJ452 - Thank you for the response and insights. All things I wanted to hear. This will end up being my daily driver after coming from a 300 SRT8. So I like the right size, power, and ride.
More have to be in the hands of owners. Three things I'd like to know
1. Overall quality of the build?
2. Orange trim in interior - too much or a nice "pop"
3. Performance on and off road.
Thanks!
I predicted NYC auto show since they missed the Chicago show. I'm not Nostradamus but it's decent speculation with the pre production units (non disguised) and recent sightings.
Ok, betting it is in NYC in April. Where do you want launch your next off-road truck, why the fashion focused gray water streets of New York City. Good call on demographic alignment...... Yes I need coffee....
Agree! Ford, what is the LAUNCH date? You have them globally, you know there is huge demand in the US. The RR will be a hit - so will its siblings.... LET'S GO! What's the next major auto show? Orders need to start in May so let's work backwards. Although today the automakers...
I'm all good, I ordered a Maverick to tide me over....... (insert HUGE Sarcasm here) bet they show up at the same time. The new production launch date is when my college graduate starts his first job - 7/10. Thus allowing me to pay for said Raptor......
The problem with any color for the Raptor is the "code Orange" interior trim color that I believe is the only interior option. For me that kills an external Red (Redfire/Rapid Red or even Race Red) color because of the "contrast". i wish the interior highlight was subtle like the GT500's dark...
Almost 2 months since i posted this. Certainly there has to be some civilian deliveries that have taken place, we want to know what you think. Please share.
FYI - I went through this in 02 with my 03 Cobra and waiting on info, same with my 2020 Shelby GT500. Tom Petty was right - "The...
I'll pass on a Subie. Ford will have enough production experience on the RR when it comes to US shores. Same drive train in Bronco Raptor and enough builds (globally) to sort out key maladies. I bought a 2020 Shelby GT500 - securing a spot with my dealer (at Sticker) before the launch -...
Would love an option to change the Code Orange accent color to something else or a less loud color. Code Orange in the interior for me limits the outside color choices. Wouldn't go with a hot red exterior and then have an orange accent inside. White, Blue or Silver are my options given the...

Sit back and relax if you're waiting on one of these. Maybe this will inspire Ford in the America's to step on the gas given the demand. Each one of these has to be a profitable vehicle.
looking good! Let us know about the transmission "learning". Also - how do you like the contrasting Code Orange accents in the interior. I'm normally a "red" guy for cars but I know I won't like the clash of orange and red. Maybe Blue, Grey, or Iconic Silver. White also an option...
