    My oct order 37 pkg at msrp is now getting a dealer markup so I'm out.

    The EV tax credit is a credit against your total tax liability for the year. It’s not based on the number turbo tax spits out at the end for your refund. It’s based on the total tax you owe for the year. It’s capped if you owe less than $7500 (or whatever the amount based on specs and # of...

    FL-500s

    I just changed my oil a week ago and mine had the creases. Got the FL 500s from O’reiley.

    Pulling cash out of the Raptor

    I thought about doing this too a few months ago. My CU that I use won't do a cash out vehicle loan right now because of the pandemic. Too bad because rates are crazy low right now and lots of other opportunities to beat that rate and make money elsewhere.

    Tire Pump

    I got a Smittybilt 5.56 CFM - 2781. Look up some videos on it. It can inflate 35's very quickly, quiet and a decent price. I got mine for $137 on sale.

    Onboard air compressor recommendations

    I got a Smittybilt 5.56 CFM - 2781. Look up some videos on it. It can inflate 35's very quickly, quiet and a decent price. I got mine for $137 on sale. I mainly went with this unit over the Viar or the ARB because of price since I wont be using it often but wanted something decent.

    Headlight condensation and sealing

    I get condensation in my headlights in the winter often. It always goes away. I think our headlights are vented so they can air out.

    Anyone tried hauling 12' lumber?

    I do this fairly frequently and like a lot of responses I do tailgate up, strapped down and/or something heavy on the inside of the boards. I have no problem with it but HD is <5mins from my house on side roads so I dont worry about it too much.

    Your Raptor Assault Rating?

    I don't remember what I put but I don't think it makes a difference. Everyone does the same route and gets the same instruction.

    GEN 2 Bicycle in cabin?

    I specifically got a hard rolling tonneau cover so I could lay my mtb in the truck bed and lock it up. If im just going out to the mountain and back I just throw it in...but it gives me the option if I need to make stops. When I lay my bike down it basically barely fits with the cover over and...

    The heat is on for the raptor

    TRX Base Price: $70k; Raptor Base Price: $53k IMHO - Raptor looks way better but I think everyone here is a little bias. Its good timing for Dodge since there will be no 2021 Raptor. Also good timing for Ford in case they need to pivot to come out with something better.

    Whip Flag Mounting

    I made my own out of a shackle hitch with the shackle removed and hitch on its side. Got a longer bolt to the end of the flag pole and bolted it through. Worked great and easily removable. Just remember to also get some pipe insulation or a noodle to wrap around the pole so it doesnt scratch...

    Recommendations on electric pressure washers that are fairly reliable?

    I have this one: Ryobi Well the previous version without the handle and wheels. The best feature is that its small and you can tuck it away on a shelf. No proprietary fittings which means you can get different nozzles and guns. To wash my car I use a short gun with a foam cannon from Amazon...

    Paint imperfections ?

    The door "ding" appearance I think is from stamping aluminum. I think all F150's have it. I too had to adjust my quality expectations before getting this truck coming from BMW. Once you do that its no big deal.

    bed tie down points?

    I have the d ring bed bolt set up in mine. Definitely nice. I have my tool box secured down with the ones closest to the cab. I also have the factory bed liner. I pulled the liner off the bolts when I took them out. Much cleaner that way. Before I took them out I scored the edge with a knife so...
