Cobb here. Excellent upgrade to both reasonable safe power and in my case a much better tranny experience (my ‘17 was sketchy in that respect out of the factory). Lurching, hard and/or hanging shifts resolved with the Cobb. Also liked that it allows for the accelerator signal manipulation (not...

This sounds like a wifey “Raptor” that will serve to keep her out of my real one. I could be wrong but I think it’s going to be an underwhelming trim upgrade for the most part but would hope to see better. I was not impressed with the Bronco we saw and drove though I wanted to be for my wife’s...

Thanks for sharing! Great pictures and a fun looking trip in the “do it all” Raptor ! Never see myself without one.

Mine is back…phaser replacement was done in a couple days. All is well so far. No cold start rattle or other issues. Happy happy!

my ‘17 with 44k and phaser rattle in for repair today. They will do the software update, follow that with a cold start to document the rattle, and then do the repair. Got a nice explorer to drive in the meantime. I hope they get it right as I want to keep my truck for a long time yet. The...

‘17 w 44k miles. Phaser rattle for the last 3-4k miles—in for repair. They told me they will do the software update, let it sit a day, start it to hear the rattle, and proceed with true fix thereafter. They acted like they had to do it this way to get it fixed under warranty as I offered up...

Raptor gen 2 is the first vehicle in many years that I haven’t had the itch to swap in 2-3 years (I even bought a Ford supplemental warranty..never done that before!). And the gen 3 hasn’t caused that itch to return. Love this truck and don’t see getting new gen 3 or anything else for a bit...

And a smart lawyer will stay in the background and see how they treat you without letting on a thing—but be ready to pounce if it goes awry

Get a lawyer. They may well fix it right but will never compensate you for the diminished value..never. There is a lot going on here eith the insurance potential etc. This type of case brings attorneys fees so if they screw around, they will have to pay your lawyers fees too. I wouldn’t go it...

^^^this. It could ultimately be a class action for this specific behavior. It’s tantamount to libel. And with any damages (which is easy to prove as to resale etc), stick ‘em with some punitive damages to deter this chicken sh$t stuff

^^^ totally agree. Hoarding cash here as well waiting on the shoe to drop and the resulting legendary opportunities

I slugged my way as a single parent through my son’s 8 yrs of Ivy tuition (U Penn Med grad) and expenses so he could start life debt free. Those were some lean years as far as toys for me but all worth it. Bought myself a Raptor through my business to celebrate his MD and no more tuition etc for...

Ford just saved me some money (kind of) as the upgrades though fantastic are diminished in my view by the totally bland design. Like others have said, my tired eyes will have trouble noticing a gen 3 “too similar to F150” front coming at me. No thanks. Gen 1&2 were game changer designs vs...

Nice evolution. Selfishly, I like that it’s not a vast departure cosmetically from my gen 2 as I want to keep mine another few years at least and won’t feel like I am driving an ancient version right away

My wife has already laid claim to my current Raptor when I buy the next gen —I work from home in this pandemic so she has access to it all day now and always comes up with some excuse that she needs it over her M4 convert. Really funny as she could have cared less when I got it..until I let her...
