Congrats! Out of curiosity what are the first character of your VIN? I'm curious if this Raptor was produced in Michigan, Thailand, South Africa, or Vietnam?

Made in Thailand for us
VIN starts with a "6"
And we do get the rear A/C vents

Interesting! Its such a weird move that Ford dropped rear seat A/C for the US model.

Yes it is strange
Though I think US gets a sliding rear window opening

Another strange fact is the vehicle has remote start feature but no remote start key fob! So you can do it by phone.

A popular mod here is to buy key fob version that has the remote start button and it works flawlessly

Stubby Jr

you were 1 for 2 in that parking job. Love the truck.

Finally added the remote start on key fob. Ford should have done this from factory.

Your truck looks great in silver! I keep toying with the idea of switching mine to silver from white that I ordered.

I’ve had silver vehicles for years, they look good even while dirty & even better clean. My wife says white trucks look like fleet work trucks so white trucks aren’t allowed in this household. Not saying white doesn’t look good though as we have two white Corvettes.

I work in the long haul trucking industry. So I know what your talking about with white trucks looking fleet.

Also did the stubby antenna while I'm at it.

It works fine inside the city, but out of town you notice the FM range is reduced. No negative impact on GPS signal or anything else.

The shark fin is for the GPS and stubby just the radio so it doesn't effect GPS.
