I check in from time to time but the boy took the truck to college with him so not on here as much. Stepped down/down sized to a Bronco. Miss driving the Raptor.

Ha! Some collateral damage but Skid plate did its job…

So it took 12 years and 117,000 miles for my 2012 to see a little action off road…nothing crazy, just a little stroll at Silver Lake in Michigan. Courtesy of my 19 year old son and some of his auto shop buddies. Audio is rather amusing.

These trucks aren’t cheap to own or fix. As much as you’d like to grab one, get yourself financially set before diving in on something like this. My 19yoa son took my 2012 to school with him and reality set in for the gas fill ups alone. Before he left, I had new tires and brakes installed...

Welcome aboard. That’s one heck of a dental dam….

Excellent to see these going strong

That’s what my 2012 did when fuse 27 started to go. I’d get the repetitive cranking but would not start in the first couple attempts. It also happened when the starter and flywheel were on its last legs a few years ago. The fuse relocation is a quick fix and worth it having piece of mind. The...

Doesn’t matter how and why it was finally done. The fact is it happened. Companies will normally play catch up when a rival ‘one ups’ them if they feel it’s worth it financially.

After all those years of the naysayer’s stating Ford will NEVER put a V8 back in the F150 Raptor….“We’ve heard our customers demanding the sound and power of a V8 back in Raptor,” said Widmann.”

Ford eventually found one for my 2012 but I’m not sure if it was OEM or an aftermarket one. I just told them to get the damn thing fixed.

Almost 10 years I’ve owned her and just reached the 100,000 mile mark
