Raptor or raptor R?Done! now the fun begins![]()
Good catch! Tangentially related, the missus approved me for the R when I hadn’t received my vin for the tremor. I wonder if I can ask for a redo… ?Missing the

Enjoy. I had a 2021 C8 HTC until 2 months ago, that I enjoyed driving but still felt like something was missing. Fortunately for us, the market meant that I lost nothing on the car and got more than what I paid for it 2 years ago. I do miss the looks & thrills at times but I'm also enjoying the practicality of my new '23 F-150 Platinum and all its bells & whistles. Plus in FL we get a lot of rain at times. Felt nice to be able to just plow through it for a change.I don’t expect the corvette thrills or the looks the car gets. But also, I’m 38 with two young kids. I don’t fit in with the new balance retirement brigade. Yet. No disrespect. Just not my scene.

I'll prob end up getting another 'Vette in the future. We'll see what the C9 looks like but for now, enjoy your truck and the gagillion different things you can accessorize it with.
If it’s too good for a Coyote then it’s too good for this forum! Get that mess out of here!!![]()
Yes, R is easily identified by the red “R” in the grille and red tow hooks. The decals on the back and hood also say “8” repeatedly, and the hood scoop says “Supercharged V8”. Easy to discern in person, a bit harder in photos.

REDO!!!!! But if not, still a badass ride. ?Good catch! Tangentially related, the missus approved me for the R when I hadn’t received my vin for the tremor. I wonder if I can ask for a redo… ?

It has a Predator.Huh?
The Predator as in the 5.0 Coyote based 5.2 Liter with the same bore centers, same deck height, same stroke, and a blower? Not understanding what you are talking about or getting at…we are talking about decals and a badge.It has a Predator.
That! Right there. That’s the funny part ?The Predator as in the 5.0 Coyote based 5.2 Liter with the same bore centers, same deck height, same stroke, and a blower? Not understanding what you are talking about or getting at…we are talking about decals and a badge.
