    You cant tow with a Raptor

    Properly loaded these trucks are pretty capable towing but the fuel economy is horrible.

    Difficult Decision

    I’d go for the Gen 3 with a factory warranty. The piece of mind knowing that ford has to fix any issues that may pop up is worth it.

    What raptor look do u like better? Gen 1 Gen 2 gen 3?

    I vote gen 2, not a bad angle on it. But give me the gen 3 interior and rear suspension.

    Poll-Do you acknowledge fellow Raptor Drivers?

    Maybe it’s a southern thing but most other raptor owners wave back. Hell even when I’m not driving the truck I find myself waving or nodding to other raptor drivers. They must think he’s crazy.

    Looks good and congrats. Gen 3’s pop in the right colors.

    Fresh Off the Dyno

    Numbers look good for a hot humid day in Florida. I'm always concerned about running ethanol but if your truck runs with no issues then go for it.

    GEN 2 Which plug should I go with Sp 550 or Sp578?

    SP542s are the best OEM plug, especially if running a tune. Unfortunately they can be difficult to find these days. Last set I had to piece together from local auto stores and ebay sellers.

    A/C Smells Like Vinegar (Not Teen Spirit)

    I had the same issue and disinfecting/flushing my AC/Heater core solved the problem. I followed this guy's solution and it worked great on truck, so great that I used it on all of my cars.

    JDM vs Whipple vs Cobb vs Goosetuned

    I ran Cobb OTS Stage 2 & TCM tune, both are excellent and I've had no issues. But I've heard great things about Goose. Just make sure to change your spark plugs more often and try to find colder plugs.

    Brake pad Gen 2

    Hawks Performance LTS. Good stopping performance but a little noisy.

    Thoughts on preventative battery change?

    For peace of mind change the battery every 2-3 years and increase the cold crank amperage. When the battery gets weak our trucks show strange behavior. From my previous BMWs living in the south with hot summers, the batteries are the first thing to go.

    Poor brakes compared to standard F-150

    I agree, the stock brakes are the weakest link on the truck. I wanted to keep the stock wheels so I built my own upgrade kit. Stoptech slotted rotors and hawk performance lts pads. Braking feel and performance were improved, only down side is that the pads are a little noisy. But I’ll take that...

    50k mi update: 2018 Raptor

    As our trucks reach higher mileage it’s important to remember these are performance cars and preventative maintenance is critical. At 50k I serviced the diffs, transmission, new coils & plugs, and swapped the shocks with a new set while the originals were getting rebuilt. Truck was out of...

    Cam Phaser debacle

    Unfortunately this issue is still plaguing our trucks. Ford cheaped out designing and manufacturing these critical parts and did their best to avoid issuing a recall. I have an early 2017 which had this issue, and sorry to see newer trucks are still affected by this.
