George admitted he had trouble processing the news, which was underscored by his family’s skepticism. “I was texting my son, my wife, and my daughter, and nobody believed me,” he said. When the Instagram announcement appeared, doubt didn’t go away. “They still thought it was AI.”
The disbelief wasn't entirely unreasonable; George's family thought he’d fabricated the social media post. “They thought I made something up on Instagram, which I'm not that talented to do,” he laughed. His solution was simple: “I’m going to pull up in the driveway in this. I think they’re going to believe me now.”
When George arrived at 717 Supply's Pennsylvania headquarters to claim his 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor, the reality still hadn’t fully set in. “I’m in total shock,” he admitted. “It’s just it’s here, and it’s like, wow.”
The fully loaded Raptor in Carbonized Gray impressed George immediately. “This is beautiful. This thing is awesome,” he said, checking out the Arena wheels with 37-inch tires and dark window tint. Hyssong highlighted notable features like the automatic power tailgate and the tech package with its massive infotainment screen.
