The cargo and 3rd brake light are led already. For some reason, Ford just can't do that with the plate lights and the fogs on regular f150s.

I've put on about 600 miles in the month I've owned it. I really like it. But I like to be a bit different, so this fits the bill. The ride is great, although it takes getting used to if u haven't driven a raptor before.

I love all the tech, although admittedly I don't use it to its potential.

It's a great truck. It's not a cheap f150, but by the time I got a loaded lariat sport and added wheels, level/fox, tires, and some engine work..... it would cost the same.

How long on yours yet? Build date?

They have said march from the start. That was late sept. They put the order in Oct 12th. I'm a supercab 801A so I'm lower on the list for my dealer. They have 20 allocated. Just wish ford handled the launch better for everyone. China is getting trucks before the us, not cool. I just want my truck. I'm really in no hurry, I do not put many miles on my 2012. I'm in the same boat as you were. I was looking at a lariat or a superduty 250 for the same price as the raptor. These things are getting crazy on the prices.

Going in on the 27th to get the wheel wells sprayed with line-x.

Slowly but surely

And I figured out my exhaust rattle. The bolts that hold the hanger nearest the hitch were one turn from coming off on passenger side and the backer plate and bolts on driver's side were missing.

Also noticed my first door ding so I got that out of the way.

820 miles. Lol

Hey Scrappy - Truck is looking good! I am at 6000 miles (6K yes). Just finished a good 900 mile round trip using cruise with 93 octane through the mountains and a long valley. 17.2 MPG. I noticed after 4500 miles the truck's MPG got better. Around town I am in the high 15's low 16 mpg. All in all - 6000 miles and I still can't get the smile off my face. I love this truck!

That's awesome! I just turned 1000. Lol.

I'm itching to get more mods done, just have to wait for the parts to come out now.
