That was my thinking as well. I went with the standard wheels and will use the $1900 saved from the upgrade to go towards a separate set of wheels and tires for offroad.
I was able to see code orange in person on a Raptor truck this morning. The color is amazing in person and is definitely orange not red.
I snapped a couple pictures with my phone and it definitely appears much more red in photos than it does to the naked eye
Would be nice if Ford required dealers to fill GT orders first. Sounds like certain dealers want to get that max ADM on units while the market is at its peak and then fill the GT orders later.
I ended up going with the leather to get the power seats. The "leather" is a leather trimmed vinyl seat. I wish power MGV seats and washout floors were an option. Leather also gets you the padded dash. Not sure if that comes with MGV
It was my understanding that if you have a Golden Ticket that Ford has an allocation for your dealer specifically for your order. Sounds like your dealer may be trying to pull a fast one. I would be contacting Ford directly. Golden TIcket allocations are separate from regular dealer allocations
I dropped tow package and Mic top a couple of weeks ago . I was previewing last week. 99ed my order when Golden Ticket came. I was an early 7 1/4 reservation
I would confirm with you dealer that you want to order the Raptor and that your existing order has been put in Code99. Ford will send you and email when order banks open
