First Deliveries and Delays

This thing's a beast in the snow!

 

Congrats fucker ..what timing man got it just in time for this snow storm. Glad to see their getting them to customers

 

That's awesome. Congrats on getting yours and the snow.

 

New clean truck smell good ?

 

Killer looks man! Congrats! What's good for you is good for all of us waiting! Nice to see them landing after all this time...

My dealer has been really good to me. They offered me the first 2017 Cobra GT350 just a little over MSRP because I've been so patient on the Raptor. Problem is I "want" the GT350 but I "need" the Raptor. My 8 year old boy said "just get them both Dad!" Too bad I'm not 8 anymore...

 

Brian, how's the sound? Seats? Anything up aren't wild about?

 

No kidding! don't keep us in the dark brother... were starving for actual owner information!!!!

 

I kept it mostly in "Weather" mode driving in the heavy snowfall - it kept the truck in 4A (auto), great traction- even while "gunning it" after every complete stop; I'd look back a hundred yards and the cars that were behind me were still at the intersection spinning out! I tried Baja (too high RPM's) as well as sport, but weather-mode worked best in snow.

This truck is VERY quiet at idle, it basically turns itself off like a pussy-hybrid, but get it revved up to 3,000+ RPM and it roars like a race car, not like a rice-burning type, but a deep menacing almost v8- kinda roar!

The seats are super comfortable, inside is basically a normal F150 w/ "Raptor" written everywhere. The wheel is thick leather, very nice. One thing I did notice is that going from a '12 F150 to this, the doors are Waaaay lighter with the aluminum.

I love the thing, just wish I'd have gotten the beadlock wheels, they look meaner.

 

Congrats bro! Looks amazing!

Mine is in "Transit" mode at the moment. I wanted the blue at the beginning, then when I went to look into my wallet...the wallet told me "Shadow Black!" (Love that woman...LOL)

Please post as much info as possible as you know there are first time Raptor-Truck- owners in here. (Shut up GDog, quit making fun of my Soccer Mom's Jeep)

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas Chris. Btw your not getting your truck before me! End of story

 

I was no so keen on the graphics package untill I started seeing them on the trucks, I really liking them now. Makes me feel better about ordering them.
I also notice that the tucks that have been released and purchased thus far have all had the standard wheel package, have not seen any recent purchases with the bead lock capable wheels.

 

Congrats Brian. Quick question, how long after it was released from Dearborn did it take to arrive at your dealer?

 

Build date: Nov 7
Ship: Dec 7
At dealership: Dec 16

 

Thanks

 

Badass!!!
