    SAE Rigid Light Swap Out

    This Rigid setup posted came with my truck. The SAE lights seem pretty useless. Any suggestions on what Rigid light to swap them out with? Also, can the bracket be shifted towards the outside of the truck as the inner lights are getting clipped by the bumper.

    Wireless Bluetooth Media Play Won't Upload Automatically

    My Sync 3.3 won't automatically play from my phone - I have to choose it on the Bluetooth list then I have to have it connect to the media, then it will play. If I plug it to the USB it'll work, but I hate the CarPlay display, plus it blocks the time, HVAC temperatures and the outside temp...

    Things to check after taking delivery

    I’ve bought over 40 new cars and trucks (mostly GM), but I have never had any issues like coolant hoses resting on the belts or accessory drives, or brake lines rubbing on the tires, or all the fuses in a fuse block not being pushed in all the way, or crooked bumpers and exhaust tips. It’s been...

    Things to check after taking delivery

    I’m on the hunt for a Raptor right now and reading this thread really makes me apprehensive of dropping this much coin on one of these. This shows that these dealers are just cleaning these trucks and pocketing the money allocated for the pre delivery inspection work that is supposed to be used...

    new here but why pay over sticker

    What kills us in California is the stupid emissions crap on all new vehicles - most from out of state aren’t California certified. If they are used we can bring them in after bring registered elsewhere for 6 months.

    GEN 2 Motor Blown/Seized at 156 Miles on 2019 SCREW Raptor

    It's awesome that the dealer stepped up instead of just saying, "Hey, it's under warranty we'll fix it for you" and not even give you any choice in the matter. The dealership should be commended for this. Good luck on your next truck.

    Technology Package - Is It Worth It?

    I’m still hunting for a 2019 white Raptor with the 802a pack and the carbon fiber trim, no sunroof, rear seat heater preferred, but not necessary, same with the spray in bed liner, I can always get that done myself. I’m on the fence on the Tech Package, is it worth it? I live in SoCal, I...

    taking delivery of new '18 w/ pano roof - should I be concerned?

    I had a roll-over one time on the freeway, I hydroplaned and slid sideways into the guardrail at 70mph, it hit and threw the truck up in the air landing on the upper edge of the drivers' side doors and roof edge. There is really no structural integrity along the windshield header. When I...

    where to get hood graphics/ decals

    For less than $200 I don’t feel so bad if I decide I don’t like them and pull them off versus $1800 that Ford wants from the factory.

    Metal Oil Pan

    Have you asked if you purchase the metal pan will they pick up the cost of installation or vice-versa?

    Metal Oil Pan

    As a newbie I understand that there was a change from plastic to metal oil pans in the 2018 model year - how far into the production year did the change occur? Will Ford change out the plastic oil pan to a metal one if leaking under warranty? I found an 18 and was just wondering.

    Steering Wheel Red alignment strip

    Probably the red strip isn't available by itself, it's probably all part of the Raptor steering wheel leather cover. Probably, I'm just pulling this out of my butt right now, but if Ford is as screwed up as GM, that's probably the reason.
