    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    Good to know! But having owned both, I much prefer the RetraxPro XR to the Roll-N-Lock XT. It still has that pull cord right? And did they finally give it fully-sealed bearings? The smaller canister was certainly nicer, but I didn’t find it rolled as smoothly, which makes sense since it’s...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    Definitely some issues with QC. My right tailpipe is an inch lower and two inches further inset than the left. The dash trim has a gap below the vent and an unstitched section next to that. Corroded shock valves. The tailgate appliqué edges are lifting and it has a weird clunking sound...

    2024 Raptor Quality issues

    I mentioned this in an exhaust noise post. I was told to sell my truck, that it's not for me... Then I was told it's normal by a few other people. I'm waiting patiently to see how many people end up having this, and if it is just the nature of the 24 / turbos or if there will be a TSB. To me, it...

    Constant Carplay Issues with my 2023

    I set the favorite button on the screen to Phone List. I tap that and tap the CarPlay icon next to my phone to disable, wait 10 seconds, tap it back on, and it works each time. Might be a little faster.

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    It’s not the pops. I even mentioned that. I don’t like or dislike the odd noises, I added my comment that mine sometimes sounds like something is slamming around in the bed to see if others heard anything too. I’ve had my experiences with newly updated vehicles that turned out to be TSBs a few...

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    I commented on a post someone made with a similar issue. Their response was that the vehicle I chose wasn’t right for me… That was helpful, productive, or assisted in the conversation in anyway? But I made a bad first impression?

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    Maybe it hasn’t occurred to you, so I’ll spell it out. What I’m expressing is that it DOESN’T feel normal. It probably also hasn’t occurred to you that there may be an issue with some of these 24s. You don’t really seem to have anything useful to contribute to the conversation that is helpful to...

    2024 Initial Thoughts

    Yes that’s what I meant. I’ll have to lock again but I don’t recall seeing that lock on my seat. I only looked quickly but I may have missed it only looking at one side. Everyone else with a 24 have the lock?

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    It’s definitely quieter in quiet mode but it is there. I’ll have to work up a way to get it recorded. At one point is was often enough it made me thing it was bad gas. Then I remembered hearing it the night I picked it up on the drive home, still excited and enjoying the exhaust notes.

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    Thanks for your opinion. Having driven a Hellcat, a 250 diesel, and a suburban 2500 with Borla exhaust, I think I’m fine driving this truck. It’s embarrassing yes. It pops randomly, always sounds a little different, sometimes almost like something is slamming around in the bed. This is not a...

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    Yes, it does it in all modes. It doesn’t seem like something that should be occurring. Frankly, it can be a little embarrassing. On my 6 mile drive yesterday in traffic, it did it nearly every time I let off the accelerator. It’s done it since my first drive with 12 miles on it.

    “This trip” not available?

    I also don’t have This Trip. I was looking for it, never not had it before. I’ve driven a 23 Lightning that had it, 2016, F150 XLT that had it. It’s strangely missing from the 24.

    2024 Initial Thoughts

    I don’t know how, but it seems smaller. It also doesn’t seem to lock anymore. So much for the “partitioned lockable underseat storage”

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    I looked into those tow hooks but didn’t like they are red instead of CO, and I think the 24 802a and R tow hooks that come with the modular number are really nice. Squared off and beefier. So I order some Kuston Canz and will be painting them Code Orange.

    Exaust Crackles/backfire

    I have this exact issue. It’s quieter in normal but definitely there. It does it many times in every single drive. Usually when you let off the throttle even if just barely accelerating. Sometimes it’s very very loud. It happened as I drove off the lot and hadn’t stopped in 1,500 miles. 2024 802a.

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    I’m tempted to try this with some kind of a T-slot rod or extension.

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    Right. But they would then have no way to mount, since they mount into the boxlink. And we know they won’t reach since the canister blocks the box link. That’s why I mentioned it could be cut but you’d need to rig a “lower profile” way to extend the support to the boxlink.

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    Thank you! Unfortunately, for anyone else with a RetraxPro or RetraxPro XR, the canister is 61.5” across and barely clears the two boxlink grab bars. So unless lower profile aluminum support brackets become available, this bar won’t fit. But I doubt anything could be made much slimmer since...

    Red Tow Hook

    Any chance you could walk through a little more details? Getting ready to do the 2024. Also love your lower grille insert. I'd be looking to do that as well once a matching 24 is out. Care to share where you got it? Thanks!

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    OP, we would really appreciate if you could give us at least the measurement of space available between the rails. Then anyone with a in-bed, canister-style tonneau would know if the rails can clear the canister.

    Ford "Cargo Management System" installed

    I have the same concern, but if you look at this post, https://www.f150forum.com/f118/oem-bed-rails-ll3z-2655200-a-535834/#post7376309 , you can kind of gauge that it doesn't stick too far out. I have the ford factory tie downs installed next on either side sandwiching the Retrax canister. While...

    $150 2015-2020 Bed Extender + $10 in hardware from Home Depot = $795 Ford 2011-2023 Bed Extender

    Did you have any issues with the locks engaging with that BedRug? The factory one, I had to remove the rubber feet and its still a bit of a pain.

    $150 2015-2020 Bed Extender + $10 in hardware from Home Depot = $795 Ford 2011-2023 Bed Extender

    If you are dying to get a factory look in the bed, or just love having an excuse to have more tools, you can accomplish this with a Rivnut Kit. It lets you install a threaded fastener inside the opening so it's just like the older truck beds. You can even then remove and reinstall the bed...
