I feel it!!! I want to but, I am waiting to see what is coming in the near future. Lots of talk going on right now because of the success of the Raptor. Hoping for something real crazy like a new Bronco style!!! We shall see.

Thank you, so far so good. i just wish the stereo sound system was a bit better. The 2012 seemed to have much better sound quality.

Hi again!

If you give the command PHONE, when no phone is connected, the SYNC system may not recognize your command. If this happens again, make sure your phone didn’t accidently disconnect. There are some easy Bluetooth troubleshooting tips listed on this support page. Check it out: Troubleshooting Tips for SYNC with MyFord Touch | MyFord Touch | Ford.com

If your phone is connected and you continue to experience voice recognition issues, log into your account at: SYNC Technology | SYNC Support | Ford.com to make sure you’re running the latest software for your system.



If you feel that the sound quality is an actual malfunction of your system, provide some details. For example, if you’re streaming music from your phone and noticing it cutting in and out, this can be fixed through some basic troubleshooting. If you’re not sure if yours is normal, feel free to check with your local Ford dealership to have them verify that everything is running smoothly. It can be difficult for me to tell from this side of the computer screen .

Its not a malfunction, its a sound quality issue due to the change in head units from the 2012 version to the current one. The sound is more muffled and the speakers crack up when the volume is pushed past the midrange. I know that short of spending some serious cash it is what it is, saying that.... the stereo isn't what made me buy my second Raptor. Truth be told when off roading my stereo is turned off so i can hear the symphony of the motor as i feather the throttle into a turn and prepare to floor it and hear her scream close to redline. Tires clawing for traction, suspension soaking up the ruts....... That's what MY Raptor was built for.
