    Expected Gas Mileage for 2017 Raptor? (10-Speed Transmission)

    Im curious what the rpm will be while driving at highway speeds. In my limited experience it seems like as they make transmisions with more gears the rpm at highway speeds stays about the same, and all the extra gears are there more to help with city driving? I understand its not good to have...

    Edmunds.com Editors Hit Aluminum 2015 Ford F-150 With Sledgehammer

    I know it wouldn't give an exact cost differance to steel but they should have hit a chevy and ram in the exact places and seen what it cost to repair. That would atleast give a cost comparison to the other makers. Maybe it costs more to repair but is more robust. I was surprissed that it...

    Black Lug Nuts For Stock Rims

    I know its an old thread, but I just bought some oem ones and they do stick out a considerable distance further. So much so that I am taking them back because you could easily get a channel locks of pipe wrench on them and spin them off.

    I think all of it. The fenders and hood are composite.

    Factory Spray-in quality coverage?

    I got the factory spray in liner on mine. I think it looks done pretty well except they don't spray the bottom of the tailgate that is only exposed when it's open, or down the backside of the bed across from there. This is very poor of them. The two trucks that my family has that have the line...

    Just received, a few questions, impressions

    I just received my new screw raptor and have a couple questions and first impressions. I only drove it once so far which was about a 60 mile trip home from the dealer. First off I was very impressed at how good the truck looks. The drive home was a mix of 55mph "county roads" and freeway. I...

    One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

    I know your from Alabama so it doesn't get very cold, but I always notice a reduction in MPG and even power when it gets cold.

    Raptor Sightings/Spotting (on the road or parked)

    Seen a blue flame screw with bed side graphics on the new vehicle hauler in south Milwaukee Wisconsin, yesterday. There will be a happy person in the area soon. Almost thought it was mine for a minute till I seen the graphics. Ohh well the eta is a week away so hopefully soon.

    Raptor Base Priced Increased

    I don't know were in the Midwest you're from, but here in Wisconsin it is not written like that on the sales forms. You are protected from a price increase unless it is specifically agreed and documented at the time of the sale on your sales form. I looked back on the sales forms from the last...

    Raptor Base Priced Increased

    I thought I read somewhere on here that customer orders are protected against price increases even to the dealer. I don't see how a dealer could charge you more than what was agreed at the time of ordering. I guess I will find out in a couple weeks when mine arrives at the dealer.

    2014 order status thread

    :big_banana_Dance: Was able to print my window sticker today. It is going to be built next Tuesday the 18th. Thanks again to Blood and the others on this site for helping make the over 3 month wait a little easier. Now I just hope it isn't caught up in shipping for too long.

    2014 order status thread

    Good for you. I'm in the same situation. The dealer I ordered my raptor from is over an hour away also. The dealers near where I live including the one I bought my gt500 from didn't want to budge off of msrp. In fact a year after I bought the Shelby I wanted to buy a fusion at the end of the...
