I went this route and couldn’t be happier.

This even is closer to home although it’s mostly jeeps it’s a good start and I’ll be attending again this year.

Trails are tight but nothing that our Raptors can’t do.

Could be, and close to one of the last 2014’s built too. They stopped taking orders as of mid-May as they already had more orders than they could fill in the queue. Production totally stops in a few weeks as the Dearborn plant is going down for weeks to retool their machines for the 2015 F150’s.  
I think they will bring the Raptors back, but as to what year…that remains to be seen.

Grabbed a few interior shots during lunch. The interior package replaces all the stock plastic and faux chrome in the dash/doors/center console/etc with brushed aluminum and blue brushed. Also adds blue stitching and inserts to all seats including the Raptor on the seat backs.

You can watch some serious porn on that screen. Get the Weatherguard floor mats. First thing I did when I acquired mine. Seen little snow but I know I’m gonna be happy with them.

Put on ~400 miles since I picked it up, couldn’t be happier with the truck and how it performs. Such a beast from the factory.  
So far getting over 16mpg highway and 13ish around town, more than I expected :tup:  
No rough ride issues in the 68-73 mph range that Shockwave posted up before, had it up past 100 and smooth all the way through.

Have a few aftermarket parts coming, will update thread as I install.

I have the 5 star custom SCT tune.

I’m running 91 non ethanol and getting 17 to 19 mpg on 91 performance tune to work. (20 miles all highway… 65 to 70mph cruise control)

Best mod i ever did… you wouldn’t believe the difference in how the transmission shifts from the stock tune. If you want to take my truck for a test drive you’re welcome to anytime.

That’s one of the mods I’m on fence about, been looking at a 5 Star tune…seems like they have been the [#1](http://www.nyspeed.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1) for Raptors. My only concern is voiding the powertrain warranty, especially since I have the 7yr bumper to bumper. If you take it back to a stock tune, can the dealerships easily see that it was tuned in the past?

A test drive would be awesome sometime, whereabouts in WNY are you?

Lol, yes think she put something up about me getting an early Father’s Day present or something. She loves the truck too, she drove it last week and the first thing she says when she got home is what color can I get mine in…lol. She was so timid before driving it with how much bigger than an F150 it is, but it really does drive like a dream.

Niagara Falls/ Wheatfield

I also got the same extended warranty I think… I know it was an extra $1200… from Ford.

Supposedly some guys say they can if they dig into it and see a change in the ECU… honestly though if you have a good rapport with your dealership I can’t see them saying no but i suppose anythings possible. I usually just flash it back to stock when i go into the dealership. No issues yet knock on wood…

Did a few things lately (beyond just enjoying the truck).

- Exhaust cutout (gate style)
- Lamin-x’ed the headlights and tail lights
- Plastidipped a few items here and there
- CAI on backorder

Been offroading a few times and it’s a blast to drive, looking forward to some out of state trips soon.

Cutout while test fitting, sits up almost flush with frame and sounds incredible.
