I wondered the same thing about deep rain and snow/ice. I found the BFG's pretty awesome on all but black ice, but then not much are good there except studs. I was shocked at how quiet they are and how compliant the ride is being 12 ply with load range F. All in all, so far, so good.

After running 3 sets of K02's and loving them, I decided to go with a set of Fuel Gripper M/T 35 12.50 17's on stock wheels. I saw them originally on a Jeep Gladiator and loved the look and the sidewall. Ordered them on Amazon and when they came, I was sure I F'd-up going with 35's since they...

Update. Just let me say that Ford has totally stepped up. My out of pocket was $0. This was the second time Ford has supported their product in an exemplary fashion and maintained the trust. Should it have happened in the first place? No. Did they make it right? Yes.

Yup, this was the issue. Truck looked pitiful on the back of the flatbed tow truck, but it was just too dangerous to drive to the shop. Was absolutely the fuel pump fuse. I can only imagine that when the fuel pump demands more, like going up a hill, or when you tromp on it, it clearly tries...

Yup, me too. My 2011 SCREW almost killed my wife and I last night. Seriously. So, we drove from SW Missouri home to Grand Rapids this weekend to pick up a Jeep Wrangler YJ we were storing there and pull it back home on a Uhaul car trailer. All was well on our way home until we got into the...

Bingo! I don't know squat, but somewhere I heard "don't leave expensive shit in your truck" and "if you don't want your truck driven off, put a hidden fuel pump relay switch somewhere under the seat where someone would have to spend time looking to switch it on."

Ford needs to up-engineer this or we will undoubtedly see one of these on our trucks....

We looked all around and the best price we found on Ford ESP was through Ziegler Ford. https://www.zeiglerfordesp.com/default.aspx We have no affiliation with Ziegler, except for purchasing (2) ESP's through them. One for the 2011 Raptor and the other for our 2010 Taurus SHO. To say we are...

Seems legit depending on condition/history. I have an 11 SCREW and it's in pretty perfect condition except for some Arizona pinstripes from offroad in the brush (nothing a good buff wouldn't fix. Service records? Have the shocks been rebuilt? If not, they will need to be rebuilt (~$800+) or...

Bummer about the tranny and other issues. Genius for buying Premium Care w/rental car. Repairs on mine have paid for cost several times over. I have a Gen 1 and have had tranny issues twice, first was torque converter leaking, was R&R'd and just had harness R&R'd. Also, A-Arms, ball joints...

Just posted in earlier clunk thread. I thinking steering rack or steering box. Everything else was torqued down when Rory at Raptor Kustoms rebuilt my shocks and we went to mid-perch. Clunk was before and after rebuild and truck has new ball joints. Only happens at low speeds on passenger...

Experiencing same clunk here on the passenger side front. Had shocks rebuilt and ball joints replaced by Rory at Raptor Kustoms (highly recommended BTW). Had clunk before, have after. I watched Rory torque every dam thing down but clearly not associated with shocks or ball joints. Only makes...

Geez, Fuzzy, that sucks. Sorry man, but sounds like your ok, so you lived to tell the tale. Raptor saves another soul. Re daily driving: I love driving in the city, where the rules are the bigger you are, the more right of way you own.... Pot holes and those freeking man-hole covers, the...

You can't decide whether the truck looks better spotless or completely covered in mud and dirt.

Oh how creative I am.... 6gun Love Waze and use it all the time for peaceful purposes. Frequent the Bloomfield Hills, MI area and SE Missouri when I can.
