Well... the body is aluminum so there is that. It would be mostly for cosmetics as the frame and other parts won't be an issues for quite some time. I would say no... but I have a friend that had his done. To each their own.

You stated: "...or now not being scheduled at all from this point on." So, yes, it had something to do directly to your question.
I’m not going to argue with you… my question is about availability of the 37 package raptor in 22. The seat color and option tells me nothing.

The 37 Package will now have a black interior option. Ricaro Blue Suede Seats will be a separate option is my understanding
Has nothing to do with my question. But thanks and already knew that.

Hearing a lot of rumors about 37 package Raptors being either more limited in 2022 or now not being schedule at all from this point on.
Any truth to this?I know 2021 37 allocations were more limited than the non 37.
thanks.

There is actually a piggyback unit that works similar to a tune, but it does not change the original software programming. A tune on the other hand actually changes the factory software.
There are a couple tuning companies that have been successful in tuning he 2021 F150's. Goosetuned and Livernoise from what I know now... others will be close behind. These two companies are not ready for commercial deployment yet... still more testing according to them.
Burger tuning has a piggypack unit. The piggyback sits in front of the PCM and intercepts the signals to and from the PCM. It is a way to get more out of the engine without actually modifying the oem programming.
I have used both and they each have their advantages and disadvantages. The piggypback unit is argued to be not traceable... but who knows. If you are modifying the vehicle in anyway, you have to accept the responsibility and the possibility you may get denied warranty if there is a problem.
I agree with your approach CentTexRaptor. I am hearing the new Raptor is much more responsive and the transmission shift strategy is improved. Some claim it feels like a mildly tuned Gen2 Raptor. I will drive mine for a while and decide from there.

Interesting discussion... I am wondering how the dealerships will handle the 2021 models that are still sitting in lots waiting on parts... assuming they are not already sold. A lot of chatter on forums about receiving MY 21 in 2022. Will there be incentives, or will supply and demand still prevail and drive pricing as it has the past several months?

There are many folks on the Raptor forum, receiving trucks with missing parts, loose bolts, different trim on one side vs the other, incorrect engine covers, thumping noises from the suspension.
Not sure how many trucks this represents, but concerning. The suspension issues are shocks apparently, with no stock to fix for some time.
Someone else said it... unprecedented times and supply chains are getting pummeled right now.
I have been waiting on my truck since June 16.... hoping for a Christmas miracle at this point.

As an added note... (akirby is spot on btw...) I have had tunes on various vehicles, including my 2020 Raptor. It made a huge difference in the way the vehicle performed. The added HP and TQ was nice, but i really liked the transmission strategy modifications. No skip shifts and the vehicle was in line with my driving style. A tune can really transform a vehicle, but it could be at the cost of warranty repair.
I do know some tuners will provide a warranty with the tune... but you will have to pay for it.

Could be a loose connection on the trailer wiring or plug, causing a warning that the trailer brakes are disconnected. I know when I disconnect the trailer plug from mine when the truck is running, it gives me a warning... can't remember what it is though.
