My hood release is broken and I’m trying to figure out how to open the hood from outside the truck. The hood is completely closed.

I can’t find any videos or info online.

can anyone explain how to do this on a 2010?

thanks.

It's a bit tougher on the Raptor because of the front skid plate, but generally you can reach up in there with a long screwdriver and push the release over.

Yeah, take the skid plate off, undo the rubber cover between the frame ends and shine a flashlight up there, so you can see what you're doing.

Locked my keys in the truck once with the battery cable disconnected. (Long story) but I was able to get the hood popped with a wire hanger by snagging the release through the grill in about 30 seconds. Never had to go near the skid plate.
