Ford changed the back lighting on the center shifter in 2018. Only the 2017 and very early 2018 trucks are backlit. There are ways to add the lighting. A number of threads were rolling around in early 2018 with how to's.

That's a good looking truck. I like the color combo with the wheels. Welcome to FRF.

Based on a quick manual read, the system will prime the brakes if it senses a possible collision. Light brake press will exert much more braking power in that scenario. The system will automatically apply the brakes if it senses a collision is imminent, meaning the system is primed and the...

It is very cool. Basically a utility body under factory panels. I'm sure that is an insanely expensive conversion.

That crazy Raptor S thing that Salamondron (youtuber) made with Galpin Auto in California has screen similar to that. He is producing some highly cosmetically and moderately performance modified raptors for general sale. A bit overkill but the screen looks almost identical to his setup. I...

I had a nasty scuff on my front driver flare. I tried to get it professionally touched up with the magnetic metallic paint. The guy did a great job but the damage was still visible. I elected to replace the flare. It cost me $240 at the dealership and $30 for install. You can do it yourself...

Now that's a sport truck I would drive. That thing looks absolutely savage. Even less practical than the raptor and I love it. There is a youtuber who has a nice black single cab 2018 5.0 with a the new 2.9L whipple who is hurting feelings up and down the Mid-Atlantic coast. He calls his...

I believe there is an octane sensor in the motor that can regulate boost in order to keep pre-detonation to a minimum in lower octane fuels. I do not know if anyone has ran back to back dyno runs with the different 87, 89, 93 (91 in cali) octanes to prove this out. I've ran both 87 and 93 in...

Someone spent way to much money on a XLT...

Could the Roush package from a Ford Roush dealer substitute? Might retain warranty. The Roush dealer near me said no such thing exists but, its on their website...

The 17in with 35's provide a ton of flexibility and sidewall give for off-roading but still feels soft and responsive on the road. I run methods with a leveling kit for now to avoid the offset rub. I may eventually move to Kings but for now, the truck feels great.

That's my thinking as well. I love the F-150 Raptor but not driving it through cities. And forget about a parking garage. The Ranger Raptor would be a cool alternative truck for driving through cities and getting into the parking garages our full size Raptors can't fit into. They both have...

There is a difference between locking out a gear or two or four within the display to keep the truck in a more performance oriented RPM range all the time, but having the entire display disappear is a bit unnerving the first time it happens. Bug or not. To the OP, the rear of these trucks can...

That's a loaded truck. I think every box was checked on its order. The only things I don't see are the rear heated seats, color accent for the interior, and carbon fiber package.

I have verified with one of the larger Ford dealers in my area that they search out new Raptors from other dealers who are selling at or near MSPR and purchase them for their dealer stock. At this dealer, they add the ADM between $5k and $10K. Their strategy is to become the ONLY dealer in the...
