    Is the panoramic roof just asking for trouble?

    I have a 2017 and I have a roof rattle. I have had it looked at and adjusted several times. I have to say it’s annoying.

    GEN 2 (LEMON) The things I would do to have a working Raptor

    Over the past year with my 2017 I have also experienced the truck being stuck in 7th gear. The only time it really happens for me is in sport mode and I am pounding through the gears while driving through the mountains. I have to pullover, turn the truck off and open the door to reset the truck...

    First weird issue

    It has only happened to me once and I never got it checked.

    Let's talk tires... Toyo MT vs. RT

    I know that both Nitto and Toyo are made by the same company but I have been told Toyo is the higher end. I had Nitto MT's on my Gen 1 and hatted then. They were loud and always out of balance. I was religious about rotating them every 3k miles and they constantly took more and more weight to...

    More power tuning

    Been holding off on buying a tune but now I am interested in all the reviews from people that recently purchased.

    Anyone running aftermarket air filter?

    I am going to disagree Bullishore, I was told by 5Star that a drop in filter was making similar numbers on the dyno as a CAI. If I can get similar results for $70 instead of spending $500 (or even up to $850) it might be a good option. I am under the impression the stock CAI is really good...

    First weird issue

    So today I was driving from Vail back to Denver. I had the truck in sport mode and I was using the paddle shifters coming over the Mountian passes. The truck was in regular drive mode and was not in manual mode. I was about 3/4's of the way home when the truck got stuck in 7th gear. It wouldn't...

    Is this a good price for a 2017 Raptor?

    I live in Colorado and received my Gen2 back in January. I have always drove pickups (always Fords) and this is also my second Raptor. We are back and forth to the mountains regularly in the winter. I have had zero issues. I also run M/T tires on my truck year around. Just be mindful of driving...

    New Borla video

    If anyone around Denver, CO is looking to buy a Borla S-Type exhaust private message me. I have one that's essentially new that I pulled off my truck.

    Ford Performance Touring Exhaust Review

    This exhaust doesn't have any of those snap, crackle and pop sounds through the midrange like the S-Type had. It's one constant sound. Since it is manufactured by Borla you can slightly hear some of the same faint tones. Overall it's really hard to compare the two. This one is very mellow in...

    Ford Performance Touring Exhaust Review

    I took off the Borla-S Type and installed the Ford Performance Touring exhaust this morning. I thought I would share a few quick thoughts. The new exhaust with the painted black tips definitely looks better than the stock tips. There is no drone or annoying in cabin noise (depending what you...

    To drive or to ship? OKC to SF

    I am just messing with you. I am only getting 13 mpg. I just filled up with 91 Octane and it was $2.81 per gallon. None of us bought it for the gas mileage. I vote for you to drive it home!! Nothing like a good road trip in your new truck. I took mine to Moab the week after I got it. If you...

    To drive or to ship? OKC to SF

    I am still trying to figure out how your going to drive 1600 miles for $250 in a Raptor. Hahaha

    Roush announced their 2018 Raptor

    Somehow with all cars that Roush has tuned over the years, I find it extremely hard to believe they are scarred of the EcoBoost. Roush did an appearance package on the 5.0 F150 before they released the supercharger version. You can still buy both versions of the 5.0 F150. If anything, both...

    Ford Performance Touring Exhaust Review

    Ordered the Touring Exhaust today from CJ Pony. It will be here next Tuesday and will get installed next Friday. Since I am taking the Borla S-Type off I will let you guys know what I think in comparison. There are things I really like about the S-Type so don't think I totally hate it.

    Corsa extreme drones, per Corsa

    So I have the Borla S-Type and all I can tell you is I personally think it's "loud" in the cab over 70 mph. With that said, Borla says that's not drone. They claim it's the turbo spool through the X pipe at high speeds. This is all subjective and people call this in cab noise different things...

    5 star tune review

    I have heard mixed things on this theory. Maybe someone with more experiance on a dyno can enlighten us. I have heard if the truck isn't tight and the wheels slip it can burn them up quicker than you think. I also don't know anyone that has done 300 runs on a brand new truck either. That's a lot...

    5 star tune review

    So I called 5 Star yesterday to have a few of my own questions answered and wanted to share a few takeaways 1) They are running the N-gauge for the Gen 2 right now because it's the only one that will allow them to tune for both the engine and transmission. 2) The SCT Tuners should be...

    New Borla video

    Cayenne, I couldn't agree more that everyone has a different perception. Not trying to steer anyone away from anything. I personally went S-Type cause the reviews pointed to it being tame. My personal review is that it's more aggressive than I thought it would be. You will definitely know it's...

    New Borla video

    I haven't towed anything with the exhaust on yet. Crusing at 65 mph its quiet. Over 70 its loud... when you hit 80, it's a constantly loud in the cab. My wife hates it. She had to turn the radio off cause she said "it's all just to much now". I going to go out on a limb and say under load it's...

    New Borla video

    I installed the S-Type and it is way louder than I thought it would be. So glad I didn't go ATAK. I had a 2 hr drive up to the mountains last week and going up the passes at 80 mph/WOT...LOUD. Not sure I am totally in love with it but it's growing on me.

    Opinions:. Whipple stage I

    Seems legit for $2k. That's a lot of added torque. I would assume this voids the warranty? I know when I did my Roush upgrade on my Gen 1 you had to buy a warranty through them....is this the same deal? Is $2k really like $4K when it's all said and done?

    Opinions:. Whipple stage I

    The link wasn't working for me. I guess my question is why do you want the supercharger?? Whatever the cost it seems like a lot to spend this early in the game. With all the R&D that companies are doing right now I would hold off. I think this V6 has a lot more to give and companies are just...
