Interior on the Ford is much more appealing in my opinion.

If it doesn't have the new interior yet, I wouldn't even go look at it. The current interior is a fking joke.

I’ve found myself search for a used Raptor… problem is, I think I would hate towing with it.

I used to be a Chevy guy but man the new trucks are ugly. Also their interiors have lacked in the past. Not sure about the newest version.
I would wait another year on this truck before going to ram or Silverado.

I have owned Raptors and love them. They tow really well if its not heavy. The payload gets you if you care about it. My family, gear and the 500 lbs boat tongue weight would bust the payload easily. I know on the first and second Gen's people would through air bags on with the daystar cups. For me the Tremor is a good compromise. Some of the Raptor parts in a normal truck that can tow 10,900 lbs. Gen2's are brining a high price right now. especially in Utah.

That is a great point. I think I knew that in the back recesses of my mind but didn't put it together.

Ya, I have a boat that is about 6000# empty on the trailer... with fuel and stuff I'm closer to 7000#'s. Not over the Raptor limit, but if my tongue weight is 700+ payload would be a factor.

I hear this is the thread to bitch and moan, three months from order today and no VIN so I have come to participate.

Unfortunately I think we've got like 5 threads to bitch and moan in now.

I'm REALLY hope you and I get VINs this week now that they are back scheduling F-150s. I think we are probably +/- a month behind where we should be since Granger had so many retail orders and only X number of allocation per month.

I'm hoping youre right, but saw on another thread they pushed back scheduling another month. Week of the 18th if April is what I saw last.

Am I reading that right? I took it to mean no more scheduling until next month now.

I think it means that trucks to be built the week of 4/18 will be scheduled this week, week of 3/21.

This is correct. The scheduling they do this week will be for the build week of 4/18.

Welcome @Bannerman!

Just to get you up to speed:
- The official song of this thread is My Friend of Misery by Metallica

- Favorite movie: Misery with James Cann and Kathy Bates
- Ford hates all of us and loves everyone else.
- If you don't have the Ford tracker webpage set up as your homepage you're doing it wrong.

This brought me a tiny glimmer of hope, which will become rage by Saturday....
