I know this doesn't answer your question bc my truck already had this package on it when I got it but I really like it. Seems like a great bang for buck compared to the expense of custom tuning. If you buy the package and have a reputable performance shop in your area do the install I can't...

It's not you. It's garbage. I had mine professionally installed and had the same issue. Retrax kept telling the installer to adjust different things, add seals, etc but it never fixed anything bc it leaks through the slats in the middle of it. Then they had the nerve to say that I was out of...

I looked into all sorts of racks and ultimately ended up with a receiver mount platform rack. I didn't like the idea of adding length to the truck bc parking is a problem in some places that I ride but in the end that was the most practical option for me. No lifting the bikes up high, no...

How often are all of these kids and dogs in the truck together? If it's just for a vacation once or twice a year, I would just rent a big suv for trips and keep the raptor.

I'm blown away that this apparently a surprise to some people and that some people are still trying to say they're aluminum.

I'm very happy with the baja S2 under the rear bumper. They're wired to come on in reverse or manually with auxiliary 6.

I don't know anything about the bak but it has to be better than retrax. I had a retrax on my previous truck and it was absolute trash. It leaked terribly and the leaks were actually through the slats in the cover. It's not like it was leaking around the edges and the seals. Their customer...

Looks like I'm no longer the only lightning blue in blount county!

Don't let anybody talk you into retrax. I thought it would be great but it's hot garbage. And somehow their customer service is worse than the product itself. I had to go to war with them on social media just to get them to honor their warranty.

Basically what I'm hearing is that there aren't enough different shades of gray to please everybody

I think I must have the opposite taste of every other raptor owner. Leadfoot, avalanche, and white are my 3 least favorite colors by a longshot. They just all seem dull to me.
