not as much as my girlfriends Tundra

Well folks, I’m sad to say I caved today and cancelled my Raptor order. The daily started creating problems faster than I can fix them so I’m in need of a vehicle today rather than tomorrow. Ended up grabbing another car I’ve wanted for a while, and she’s just as much a looker. Hopefully...

I thought the Raptor actually looked kinda short because of the proportions. Obviously it’s taller and wider but because it’s squared out more, it gives a sort of optical illusion.

Ordered mine August 27. Priority 19. I'm ok with waiting but I haven't got my 45 email either...

I'm all for people getting paid a living wage, but this does annoy me now that I see the numbers in front of me. 6 years in aerospace engineering with half a dozen valuable certs under my belt and I'm barely ahead of this.. This just means the real trades will start charging more... looks like...

That's a level of petty I've never seen... But I respect the blue collar black hat.

So then wouldn't it stand to reason that you're price protected if you have that single allotment?

source?

Just to confirm, if you sign on the dotted line for a 2024 but get pushed to 2025, you're paying 2024 MSRP right? There's a lot of people buying a Raptor for the sake of a Raptor and aren't pressed to have a new car so the waiting game isn't as critical.

Yet to see any RHCP in real life but that looks sharp in the sun. Might have to change from root beer....

YES. The interior build quality was shocking for the pricepoint. That thin armrest support is going to pop off after 3 years and everything was squeaky. I'm all for patriotism, but the interior was like sitting in a 4th of July factory. Almost as headache inducing as the red interior of Alfas.

Hearing stuff like this makes me miss pushrods. Sounds like a supplier likes to cook their product a bit too long in the heat treat bin.

You probably wouldn't even want one of those. Union was probably just waiting for the strike and not putting much effort into them, and leadership probably didn't put much into training since they knew it was coming too. I'm so close to asking my dealer to 99 my order until I start seeing them...

MSRP under the agreement I spend $2500 in aftermarket parts thru my dealer. So a camper shell or slightly larger tires

Nice buy! GM definitely got the styling language right! And that I4 is a great motor. Just don’t pull on that exterior side armrest too hard.

Coming from not big, but definitely heavy; the seats are not aggressively bolstered, and soft to a fault. They have the same support as the XL/T with some leatherette. If you’ve sat in a new Bronco, they feel similar but with slightly more side support.

The steering wheel is a manual latch lock so it doesn’t move with the memory setting but it does have great range of movement and the telescoping portion has sizeable movement to suit apes and T-Rex’s alike.

It was noticeably lower, and it was plastic. Solid, well made, but plastic nonetheless. Ford is downgrading the front end of many vehicles outside of the specialized vehicles. They sat just as nicely as the Raptor. The bolstering was 1:1 aside from the sheen of the leather and “alcantara”. That...

An additional reference: the Denali’s steering wheel was mockingly small. It’s like it was meant to tell you that you couldn’t afford the ‘Rado or ‘Burban.<which underscored how lacking the Escalade was compared to the Navigator. but the peanut butter stitching was much nicer on the eyes...

Had the opportunity to hop on an ATL-DTW flight this morning for the sole reason of seeing where I’m putting a large chunk of my future dollars. It is 110% worth the money. As someone that’s short enough to not want to reach for climate controls in the F150, the proportions of the Ranger were...
