    OEM Wheel Takeoff's

    What EndlessEight said. Non Raptor owners seem to love our OEM wheels. Also for those of us in snowy mountains, having an extra set of wheels to mount snow tires on is helpful so we can just bolt on/bolt off. I just went with a new set of aftermarket wheels that ran $760, FWIW.

    2024 Markup…?

    Bought my 2018 (obviously not an R) for $1,000 over back when knuckleheads were paying $15k and $20K ADM out in California. Use the internet. Find the truck you want with every option you want and not too many you don't...then figure out how to get there and get it...from a dealer who's not a...

    GEN 2 Name this Part # - skid plate retaining spring clip

    No. I've been traveling a bunch. Figure I'm just gonna have to cut the bolt, drop everything out of the way and see what I find.

    GEN 2 Name this Part # - skid plate retaining spring clip

    Been busy...still haven't tackled this yet. Anyone had to remove this particular bolt with a broken screw nut just spinning up inside the frame rail? Anyone happen to have picture of what that beam and screw nut look like when the bolt, bar and plates are removed?

    First Sticky - Gen3 Owner Pics

    Seems almost any weight on the rear of a Raptor is too much. The squattin' happens when I throw a snowmobile in the bed too. Wish they'd come up with a stiffer setting you could just dial in when needed. Always liked that mod posted here with the added removable air shocks for trailer pulling.

    Aftermarket mods, will I recoup dollars spent?

    Simple additions like some tasteful driving/fog lights in the cutouts, or a bed cover may help with your sale and may have a small return of your investment. Most everything performance oriented screams "this truck was driven hard, jumped, or beat on" even if it wasn't. That all said, in...

    Another Shady Dealer

    According to the dealer video from Long McArthur in Kansas...the dealer will be refunded those price increases that are reflected on the window sticker! If they are telling you otherwise, ie. that you must pay the increase, they are trying to screw you...or they are ignorant and need to learn...

    GEN 2 Name this Part # - skid plate retaining spring clip

    So looking further I'm now guessing it is actually the HN2 Adjusting Screw Nut Part #: W717634 that I need...that nut just snaps off the back. So confirmation I guess of that and then removal suggestions. Thanks!!

    GEN 2 Name this Part # - skid plate retaining spring clip

    Went to remove the heavy gauge front skid plate on Gen2 (2018) and the rear driver's side bolt wouldn't budge. Put a little more effort into the socket wrench and "snap"!! Now the bolt just spins. Tried putting downward pressure on it with a pry bar...no luck. Still spins. Have read about...

    First Oil Change & Tips/Tricks

    I think the Ronin Factory drain plug is the best solution. The one Therock88 posted above looks like a cheap knockoff of it. Don't mess around when it comes to your oil. https://roninfactory.com/products/ford-f150-raptor-oil-drain-ronin-factory

    Raptor Assault trails

    The portion at Miller Motorsports Park...sidehilling, slow incline/decline, truck modes, etc...may have been a little boring, but not really. Most everyone was impressed with learning the truck's capabilities and it was a nice way to start the day...and prepare for being confident with the day...

    I guess that link was bad…but not it anyway. I found pictures of it and it’s a round corrugated galvanized tube.
