Damn that is horrible! My 19' transmission broke 3 times before the first oil change. I traded it in for a Roush Super Duty with the 6 speed. Mine did exactly what you described. One time it shifted itself into 1st on the highway with the cruise set at 70mph!

It looks very aftermarket. Not especially pretty. Id rather pay less for a Raptor or pay the same for Roush Super Duty powerstroke (which i did).

The Gen 1 Raptors will probably last 3-4x longer than the Gen 2. They are built much simpler and honestly, more heavy duty. Take care of it, do all the maintenance work and replace parts as needed, don't let repairs add up! And i see no reason it wont go 500k. The gen 2? Oh man. MAYBE 120k and...

Compare it to the B&O system in an Audi or BMW and its not even close. Actually not even as good as the base system in a base model BMW. Its not great.

You should get a super duty diesel if you drive that much. They hold value with high mikes wnd are awesome to drive too. Not sporty fun like the Raptor more like capable fun. I can crush anything type of fun

Ko2s are probably the best mix of good ride, handling, quiet road noise and off road grip. Pretty durable too. I don't think there is really anything better right now. The only thing i have against the Ko2 is rain. They just don't grip well in rain. Otherwise what an awesome tire. They come in...

That is one of the things they replaced actually.

My issues were all electrical related. Not mechanical. Fluid was clean and clear. No mechanical damage. They replaced valve bodies, crontrol units and complete transmissions. Kept having issues.

Normally i would think so but going from a V8 to the V6T was HUGE and risky. I bet QC was extreme on the first year launch. They knew it was going to be very hard to convince people on the Ecoboost already. Just my theory! My 2017 was awesome! My 2019 drove better but was a POS nightmare that...

Stuck wide open woohoo!! Damn that would be scary!

Interesting.

You could always swap to a metal pan of you have an issue. Not a huge job at all.

17 is the first year but i think they had to prove all the new tech. Monster ecoboost and 10 speed. My 2017 was flawless and i i had one of the first ones out. 28000 miles totally flawless. My 2019 was the opposite. 3 transmissions before the 1st oil change. The 3rd one was acting up too when i...

That looks really cool! Keep in mind the F250 has a WAY better storage under the rear seat vs the stock F150/Raptors. I'm sure the parts would probably bolt right on the Raptor. Made to store lots of tools just no drawer.

Agreed. The dealer may have traded for the vehicle. Its not uncommon at all to have even a few hundred miles new on the lot. I can say, owning 3 Raptors, In stock form i don't think there is anything you can do on a "joy ride" that would hurt the truck or cause that warning. You can beat the...
