2012 ordered yesterday
Well I Ordered my next project yesterday. 2012 FX4, oxford white, 157", luxury package, max trailer tow package 4.10 gears, box side steps, tailgate step, moonroof, Navigation, heated and cooled seats, the works!
Already have most of my mods planned out. Bilstein 5100's, BFG 285/65r20's, Bedrug, RetraxPro, XTang Weatherstripping, EZdown Tailgate assist, Rugged Liner Wheelwell liners, Weathertech floor mats and NoDrill mudguards paint to match, Bestop Powerboards with 2 inch extensions, DBS D-Bug Screens, Plasmaglow Fire and Ice, Radiantz License plate frame and Winkers, Multiplug to plug all these items up to, SpareBumper Hitch, Swingcase, Painted Skull caps for trailer tow mirrors, Airaid Synthmax and Prefilter, Opticoat 2.0, TufShine Tire Portectant, Window Tint, BG Fuel Additive, and a few other things.
I'm still undecided about a tuner. Probably 5-Star when he gets his Ecoboost tunes put out.
Need to figure out something for reverse lights that put out enough light to actually see when backing up.
Undecided about doing the E-Locker Override mod.
Undecided about putting a set of Deaver springs in the backend.
Undecided about headlights, HID's? Sylvania Silverstars? Etc.?
And... Hopeful that they can reflash the computer for the Raptor Tire size to allow for the new 34.7" tires that are being put on before it rolls off the lot.
Any suggestions for this build project in regards to your experiences with these mods and how they worked out for you are welcomed.

I couldn't take the wait so I bought mine off the lot. Two things....The only thing I wish I had but could not get off the lot is the 410 gears as I went with 35" tires. As to the tune for larger tire size, I spoke to my dealer today and they said he called the factory and off the record, I would need to get an aftermarket tuner.
Oh, I can't tell you how much better your truck looks with the longer bed than the short bed. When the cab is bigger than the bed, it just ain't right. Course, that's just my opinion.
