    Raptor Assault - Help!

    Like someone else said, just go off and do some other Raptor events. The folks at RA just don't get customer service and really handled the whole pandemic poorly. Like you, I also bought my Raptor in the summer of 2019, but unlike you I was registered for an RA event in late April 2020...

    Raptor and Wrangler drug into water by boat...

    Not enough people talk about how this happens. I say that with tongue in cheek because what this guy did was exceptional ... a boat and 2 cars! You have to work hard to do that. Usually it is just a truck that gets dragged in and the boat is fine. Here is how it happens. Owner forgets to...

    Raptor and Wrangler drug into water by boat...

    The electronics and engine components are virtually no different than a car. It will get totaled out, but will still have value. Replace all the electronics, most of the wiring and an engine rebuild. The boat is a high-end Pavati wake surf boat ... aluminum boat and the 26' model (what it...

    Anybody Received Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the Last Month?

    Sounds like I got a little bit of a run around. Thanks!

    Anybody Received Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the Last Month?

    Thanks. Not looking for any MTs on these wheels - more every day driving and unplanned off-road. I know sound is subjective, but never found a MT tire I'd call quite on the highway. I have a set of true beadlocks dedicated for off-road with more aggressive tires. BTW - installer found 8 on...

    Anybody Received Nitto Ridge Grapplers in the Last Month?

    I've had an order for 4 Ridge Grapplers 35 12.5 R17 since 4/30. I'm in Atlanta, but they say they've been on nationwide backorder since I placed my order. Saying CA plant has been closed due to Covid. They are calling all their distributors again today. The crazy part is that they aren't even...

    Purchasing a New Raptor Soon

    I had a 2020 on order and ultimately bought a 2019 because of the markdown on the 2019 was just too good to pass on. Purchased late June 2019. Here are the only difference on the 2020 vs. 2019: - 2 new colors for 2020 - auto dimming headlights standard on base in 2020 - MSRP went up by...

    Car Play didn't start

    I had it happen once since I got the car in June - just as you described. Happened 2 weeks ago. I didn't remote start it, so it isn't related to that. The phone might have been locked the first time I plugged it in (can't confirm), but it definitely was unlocked on the retries - no luck...

    Who is Towing a Travel Trailer and what are your experiences

    Surf wave is excellent. I don’t wakeboard anymore, so my selection was based solely on surf wave. I’m 6’4” and 235, so push was a big factor as well. I surfed them all before I bought. My friends all have MC, Malibu or Nautique, so I ride on a couple different boats. I think the gaps in...

    Who is Towing a Travel Trailer and what are your experiences

    I was just curious. I've got a Centurion SV244 and tow without WDH due to the surge brakes. Also, wasn't sure if I'd have an issue with WDH due to the fold-back tongue. I've got Deavers +3, Eibach springs and SVC Adjustable bump stops. Sagging isn't an issue, but I do get a little sway from...

    Are you running a WDH when towing your Malibu?

    Cost to install leafs and coils

    Just had Deavers +3, Eibach springs and SVC Bumpstops installed last week on my 2019 here in Atlanta for $1,240 out the door.

    Gen 2 true height?

    Mine measured out at 78.25" exactly with a laser level. Work parking lot clearance bar at exactly 80" with same laser level... roof of truck clears, but the very top of the OEM antennae taps the 80" bar on the way in. Stubby antennae now - no tap.

    Rough idle with auto start/stop disabled and A/C on

    Thanks for the feedback. With only 800 miles on the ODO, none of those items should be impacting my truck though. Feels l like software adjustment needs to be made to keep the RPMs up higher at initial stop ... or at least better compensate the RPMs for additional draw of AC, etc.. Curious if...

    Rough idle with auto start/stop disabled and A/C on

    Yes, seat coolers and AC always on in ATL in the summer.
