That’s Cactus right? Mine loaded on FORDPASS APP today. Nothing shows but the VIN. But progress. I’ve got Cactus gray build week 12-5. Not sure what blend and other terminology means! I was panicking on my color choice a bit, but seeing these pics I’m good. Congrats.

Yes, that's Cactus. Getting your VIN is a good sign, blend will occur during the build week when the body meets the chassis, modules active is when it's fully assembled and battery get installed and computers are activated.

I have a Cactus FE that I've had for nearly a year now and I still love the color.

That’s great. Seems the Cactus gray is the most misleading color on the Ford website, but it’s unique!

We got it wrapped. Love the matte look! 👍🏻

That looks amazing.... I'm hoping my 2023 model will be here in the next couple of weeks... I got notified that I am out of production and waiting on a train

Trying to decide whether to het my cactus Gray wrapped matte or gloss ? Any suggestions if anyone’s seen anything in cactus gray ? Sorry for my ignorance but Do you still do the film wrap covering if you do the matte wrap? And are they the same price ? Around $5,000 I think ?

Is that cactus with matte or no ?

 

[JOPO]

Congrats.

I’m in texas and suppose to take delivery this week or next. Have you found any trails wide enough the Raptor will fit? I hate to tear and scratch the paint first week I get it. We’ve heard of a place in Bridgeport but not sure. Just curious if you’ve found a fun place to ride in Texas?

I think the film wrap is the same, the color is clear matte. Our cost was $4500

Correct, both films gloss and stealth are 6 mil thickness and offer the same level of paint protection against paint chips. Xpel now offers the gloss Ultimate in a plus 10 for increased protection, I wish I would have used that on my doors. Vinyl wraps are much thinner for ease of installation and are not intended for paint chip protection, however they do offer protection just at a lower level, like minor sand abrasion.

Second or third post for the day. Expecting arrival to dealer next week ish. I’m in ND where we only have 675,000 people so haven’t seen a Raptor yet but for one in passing at offrodeo location in MOAB, I think I’m the first at our dealer in Fargo. Pretty excited. Yep. Freaking out. But I’ll be ok. If I have a heart attack before it happens, my wife will make sure it stays in the family. My son seems kinda interested too. Shit. Is it Feb 7th or 13th yet?
