My oem rear pads on my 17 raptor were sub 1mm driver rear and 2.5mm passenger rear over the first 35k miles I drove the truck (normal road driving, some towing, nothing extreme except a single day at the sand dunes). I'm now at 46k miles, so 11k miles later, and the driver rear is back at 1mm on...

Awesome, I am picking up the same next weekend, snow time baby!

It looks good but my 17 Fords are the only cars with warranties, and I really like having 8yrs of full warranty, especially for the heavy track use R. The R is faster than 99% of cars on the track with me, stock with just camber plates for better tire wear. Only a excellent driver in a Gt3, Zo6...

17 Gt350R 17 Raptor 01 Ferrari 360 14 Aston Martin Vantage 10 Jaguar XFR 04 Infiniti G35 coupe All my favorites but all for different purposes!

For about $100 shipped, I'm getting this 3 ton ultra low profile (2 and 7/8 in to almost 20'' jack height) from harbor freight https://www.harborfreight.com/3-ton-low-profile-steel-heavy-duty-floor-jack-with-rapid-pump-61253.html . Good reviews, rapid jack, and will be nice to be able to use it...

Good idea about the wood blocks to help jack height.

I'd like to change oil and rotate my own tires, but my existing low profile floor jack for my sports cars doesn't extend tall enough to get the Raptor off the ground. Any suggestion for a floor jack, preferably low profile so I can use it on sports cars also? How high does the jack have to...

In OH I paid about $45 a tag every year regardless of vehicle. Now in MI it's about $475 for the Raptor, $900 for my 16 year old Ferrari 360, $750 for 14 aston Martin, $150 for g35 coupe, and $425 for the Xfr. Annoying and adds up. Part of the reason I sold my 911 turbo which hasn't been getting...

Was just going to say this. I hate 4A because the torque steer is absolutely aweful any time you touch throttle at all. I dislike the steering feel all together in the raptor (although I drove a new v8 Silverado recently and it's even worse for different reasons), but 4A and 4h make it awful to...

What a pain in the arse with so many gears! I have a f1 Ferrari and love it, but more than 6/7 gears gets tedious. Op you describe exactly how my truck drives in sport and the wet. I have found sport better without the gear holding if you are more progressive and easier on initial throttle...

14.5 average here. On cruise at 75 I can get 19.x but anything more is driving like a granny and why do you need 510ft lbs and a $70k truck then?

Normal. Gear holding is annoying but normal. Fast snap shifts are cool imho

Sounds fair, and definitely thanks for sharing. I'd be pissed to if they gave me an ultimatum like that without any tact. I didn't interact with the dealer that much, but I know the guy is a car guy and has a GT350, an old Raptor, and a new Raptor now and was cool to talk to about cars for the...

MZRaptor, sorry to hear your truck had a ding in the tailgate. You can't blame the dealer for that, but obviously you can expect them to fix it during their normal business hours. I would also not want to pay in full until it was fixed. As for it being worth a "significant discount" for a...

The white Raptor is still available, strangely after 6 people asked me for the contact info knowing the exact truck and exact price... He also just emailed me there is a black Raptor that is now available as someone backed out: MSRP price is $69,740. Has 802A, moonroof, carbon package...
