    Quick answer needed: will 35x12.5x17 BFG KO2's rub with factory wheels

    I'm at the tire shop, and the guy working here cautioned me that true 35 inch ko2s will rub do to the width on my 2017 Ford Raptor with OEM beadlock wheels. Can anyone confirm? Should I stick with 315 70 17 size

    Body damage from bungee/rope tie downs- how much ya think??

    OP, That really sucks, but how is this a Ford, aluminum, or paint quality issue? You actually have damage to 3 different finishes: the powdercoated steel bumper, the painted plastic fender flare, and the clear coat/paint on the aluminum body. The aluminum bed itself appears salvageable, but...

    3K miles, oil pressure light and low oil

    It would really frustrate me if my Raptor was consuming oil, but I don't understand people who buy a $70k truck and don't check the oil periodically. I check mine immediately after every oil change and at least a couple times between oil changes.

    Oil pan leak

    If the plastic pan is not a problem, why are you on your 3rd one within 45,000 miles? Why did Ford switch to a metal oil pan midway through 2018?

    GEN 2 Newbie Here...Looking for decision thoughts

    I would offer $500 over invoice to the dealer who told you he can order you a 2019 Raptor, order exactly what you want, wait a few months, and enjoy your new Raptor. Have them give you a trade quote for your 2016 F150, trade F150 when new Raptor arrives. I've bought 3 Raptors exactly as I...

    GEN 2 Tons of system faults

    I had several lights come on when i was towing our boat last year. Hill Descent, Advance Trac off, something ABS brake related, ect (no power steering though). I took it in and the Ford dealer said that they cleared the codes and could not reproduce. However, the next time I towed, the same...

    Someone with 2019 check oil level?

    Sometimes I think I'm one of very few people who checks their oil regularly. My 2017 doesn't use a noticeable amount, yet I check every 1,000 miles or so, after every oil change, and when I purchased new.

    Oil Consumption Issues with 2018

    There's oil pressure, but not oil level on the dash. I manually check my oil every 1,000 miles or so. I haven't used any in 11,000 miles and 3 oil changes on my 2017 Raptor.

    Check Braking System, Service Adv Trac, Down Hill Descent

    My 2017 did something similar with around 5000 miles. It turned out to be a faulty ABS control module.

    The stigma of owning a Raptor

    Who cares what people think, I know I don't. I just paid off my 2017 Raptor last week, it's nice owning a truck that's still worth $60k and is depreciating very slowly. I live on a crappy 3 mile long dirt road, the Raptor does well in this environment.

    Gen 2 Owner demographics?

    I am 42 years old, my 2017 is the third Raptor I have owned. I live on a 3-mile long dirt road in the middle of nowhere, 150 miles from any major city. I have not owned any type of sports car since my 1987 Mazda RX7 Turbo II. That was a long time ago. Sports cars do not do well on the dirt...

    Steering wheel off center, any fix?

    Take your Raptor to another dealer and ask him to align it. This is a very easy fix.
