    Am I crazy for considering a ~$60k Gen1?

    We are going to sell our 2012 soon that we have had since 14 miles on the odometer. Probably going to go for $40k in preparation for the new Raptor R as we have been waiting for the v8 to return. 135k miles currently but literally we upgraded AND replaced all components as the wife and I went...

    I apologize to all the i70 drivers I offended bombing across Missouri yesterday

    We live in at I-435 We live in at I-435 & State Line and generally speaking you cannot get people to move out of the left lane. So I will just agree with your comments! It's unbearable at times.

    New-to-me 2019: big bounces on concrete highway

    I would say that ever since we moved it to top perch our Gen 1 definitely rode stiffer but we needed it to clear the 37" tires. Sometimes it's hard to tell but maybe just check that the front isn't set all the way up or just visually compare to another stock Raptor, ask mechanic, etc.

    Raptor R - Will you be buying this beast.

    Agreed with someone else who said it. I think it's finally a worthy successor to our old 6.2 Velociraptor. Not getting rid of the old but will be adding an "R" to the family.

    GEN 2 EXTENDED WARRANTIES

    ESP on our 2012 from new to 127k miles and they have covered nearly $30k in work over the years (we take it offroad often so it was well worth it). Now we are finally in the last version of extended warranty with Ford that was offered (I think it was called CSP or something) and it was way too...

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    Wife and I started a business 18 years ago (I was 24 yrs old) in Digital Production and was fortunate to be debt free with only one credit card that amounted to $1000 limit in 2012. We lived in Vegas working on projects for WSOP, Tapout, Nissan, Hyundai and a new MMA league that's now on ESPN...

    Finally got the truck!

    Congrats! I ordered a new 2020 Shelby GT500 in October 2019 and just got word it has finally shipped. The delay has SUCKED. I bet your excited though!

    Hello from New Mexico

    9 mile hill!

    Tried to climb for the first time

    On airing down... we typically go 18-22psi when high speed offroading. However it seems to do fine at low speeds but definitely more stress on your steering. You can see about 20psi here maybe hitting 50+/-. Sorry for the shaky cam:

    How fast are you driving these days?

    Faster than usual. Arizona roads are just perfect right now for temp and no traffic. Been getting the GT500 up to 120+ for some bursts (on-ramp mostly) but generally in town 80-100 honestly.

    Another Raptor Towing Thread v. Boats

    Just from my experience with a 2012 Screw, we towed our 24ft Yamaha all around New Smyrna Beach and to central Florida areas. No issues at all but here's the setup. Dealer +2's (100k on them, yeah i know), Icon 3.0's recently rebuilt with only 10k on them. I feel like the truck was well...

    GEN 1 To tune or not to tune

    I switched from a Whipple tune to a JDM tune they did for me and it's been great. I've pushed this 2012 pretty hard for the last 8 years and I'd agree with other posters with the statement that it's a pretty strong truck and I would think just unlocking that torque band and a 91 tune would be...

    20 Leadfoot—Hood Graphics or No??

    Originally ordered without graphics. When one arrived at another dealer sooner WITH graphics we decided it looked more like a RAPTOR at a glance which is what we like about it. Besides the personal preference to the look we actually have done 1000's of miles off road and the ford graphics...

    Tesla Cybertruck

    I placed deposit yesterday. Looking forward to some high end technology and wouldnt mind a little less grease/oil to deal with on a vehicle for once.
