    Had the truck in the shop for the #27 fuse problem and mentioned to them the cruise wasn't working. They put a new switch in on the steering wheel which did didn't fix it.

    Mirrors

    So I got the bass boat out of storage and finally towed with the new raptor. I must say it towed great, very confident handling and the power was well enough to get the job done. Only concern was the wide hips of these girls. Those fenders take up a a lot of mirror space and I'm starting to...
