Is there any chance that these new tires are of a higher load rating than the stock tires? The stock KO2s are load range C. I had devoured six of them (I had to replace one in the middle of a cross-country trip due to a massive blowout) and turned them essentially into slicks, with as many as 12...

I can definitely second these as a worthwhile investment! I got these installed after recovering from the mess from my post in this thread last year, and haven't had a problem since. I've even revisited the spot where this happened several more times without incident. My experience has been...

I have a Gen 2 (specifically a 2020) Raptor, but thought it would be worth sharing my similar experience here, since there don't seem to be as many people with this problem on their Gen 2 trucks. Similarly to the OP, my noise started fairly mild. Having just gotten back from a couple of weeks...

The 2019/2020 Gen 2's active suspension update is a nice improvement, especially for mixed-use (such as for using the truck for travel, but sticking to unpaved roads as much as possible). I cannot say I'm a fan of the 10R80 10-speed transmission in the gen 2s, though. Its self-learning is prone...

Regarding dealers seeming to always deliver the truck with ≈50 psi in the tires, I'm pretty sure I recall reading that the Raptors are shipped with their tires inflated to this level to help stabilize them in transport, since at the normal inflation, the combination of the tall sidewalls and...

Like others have said, the rattle is definitely not normal (or…I suppose it is, given how many people are experiencing it, haha – I guess I should say not expected), and hopefully, enough people will complain for Ford to issue a recall to remedy that. The creaks and groans are often caused by...

Sorry in advance for the long post, but I thought I'd contribute my own recent experience regarding this: a few weeks back, while winching our 2020 Raptor in reverse through a much-larger-than-expected area of deep clay mud along a gulf coast beach (driving though what appeared to be a mud...
