    Wiggle? or shake?

    Same issue. Tire pressures helped: I run 36psi front, 32psi rear. That’s hot pressure after at least 30mins cruising at 80mph on tarmac. On Duratracs. Also on roads I know are potholely or undulating, the sport mode takes a lot of the bounce response out. 2019 with 60k, all factory standard.

    I just traded the 2017 Gen2 for a 2022 Gen3

    Thoughts on the ride of your new Gen3 vs old Gen2? Notable difference with all that new suspension stuff?

    Picking up on Friday. Then, drive 1700+ miles to get home. First truck ever!

    Great way to break in new truck. I picked up in Augusta GA and drove home to CO/NM Four Corners in 3 days, ~1800miles. V6 engine is rough initially: take first 1000 miles easy, low revs, just cruising at 80 at 2000? rpm. Then it really starts smoothing out. Oil change asap when you get home...

    STOLEN - Silver Gen 2, Denver

    I looked into this when I got my 2019 and as I understand it: - place key inside vehicle (I hide mine in the door handgrab when out hiking etc) - lock the vehicle by pressing the 0-9 and 8-7 on the external key pad - unlock the vehicle via keypad code or FordPass This always worried me as...

    STOLEN - Silver Gen 2, Denver

    Now that's a stinking good idea. I AirTag my luggage when traveling, wallet, keys etc, why not my beloved truck? I guess because I thought I can always look up its location in Fordpass if needed.... unless thieves have disconnected that I guess from Sidetrack's experience. Now I just need the...

    Best Winter Tires for Gen2?

    Thanks for this, wasn't aware of this tire - have been looking for a dedicated snow tire for the raptor for ages but Bridestone don't do the Blizzak DM-V2 in our 315/70-17 size. Nokian apparently do :) Will source it and see if I can get it for winter season.

    Best Winter Tires for Gen2?

    Live in high desert 4 corners and San Juan mountains area. K02s for the sand and dirt trails in summer, Duratracs (not studded) for winter in mostly snow not ice. KO2s did ok in winter, but traction was a significantly better in the snow and on cold wet roads with the Duratracs: softer more...

    Go Fast Camper

    So happy to see someone else using our beasts to access epic camping locations. Our Gen 2 is Rosie the Raptor, with a FreeSpirit mounted below the roofline. She gets us to our location fast, then hacks the off-road in comfort like a Jeep can’t touch, and gets us to camping locations away from...

    Official 2023 Raptor R Order Thread

    Have spent the last week trying to get an order in. My local Ford dealer in New Mexico, who I try to support, and services my current Gen2 Raptor: “I can’t place an order but I do have you on the list” “There are other people ahead of you, including some big players” “It’ll be at least $20k...
