    Waiting for my Raptor. I work at the Stamping Plant that builds the panels for the F150. I worked my way around different dealers to get the MSRP. My order date was at the beginning of December. Hopefully the truck will be available around May, I can keep an eye on every move my order takes. The dealer says that my order has a high priority allocation of 19 (what ever that means). We are one of the high selling Ford Dealers of US. We'll see if that makes a difference.

    Welcome bobhamb! No doubt you will give it a good test in the snow based on where you live.

    Yes, Western New York. I probably won't get my truck until spring though.

    I'm east of Pittsburgh and expecting my blue Scab in Feb. Avoiding a season of snow and road salt would be great but I'm anxious to see how it will do in winter. Have you given any thought to having your truck undercoated for protection against road salt? I'm hearing a lot of guys spray Fluid Film underneath.

    I had my last vehicle sprayed with Ruststop. It's an oil based undercoating.
    I'll wait to decide on spraying the Raptor.

    I connected hot water shut off valve to my hose and connected a small water sprinkler and rinse underneath my cars and trucks. Works very good 2 minutes under each axel and seems to get rid of the salt pretty good

    Nothing new here, I have not called about any updates this week. Taking my daughter on a 3 day cruise for her 16th B day. Will check Friday when we get back.
    How about you G, any word?

    Yes very. Since I sold my F350 this hold up now is really effecting travel plans. I need the darn thing to travel in Feb. I have to say chomping at the bit as times winding down. Got a feeling I will be at National car rental.
