    Snorkel options Gen 3?

    Do you really plan on driving in 5 feet of water? That is about how high the air intake is. The user manual says you can ford 3' of water, which has precautions built into that value. I don't know where you plan on driving, but I would recommend a different route.

    What, if any, are your regrets with your Raptor?

    Ford flat out said only 10% of orders were for scabs. I love mine and quite frankly I wonder what I'll do when it comes time to get a new truck as there will only be 4 doors available.

    What, if any, are your regrets with your Raptor?

    One thing I would like to have done was to buy more take off parts soon after buying the truck. You used to be able to get a complete set of 2017 shocks for anywhere from 600-800, brand new. I also have a super cab, so there are parts that are super rare to get. I would have bought some...

    If you're not driving an avalanche already, do you really have a raptor?

    GEN 2 Failure to restart.

    This is the second time that its happened. Take my foot off the brake and the engine doesn't restart. No check engine light, nothing other than the box onbthe screen saying 'press brake to start. But of course I have to put it in park. Then press start and off I go . . . Then, until I...

    2023 Ford Raptor R orders will open after debut.

    I hope the order banks open before 6/30. A dealership here has a big ad campaign about how they don't charge over msrp. But, the offer ends on 6/30. Locking them to msrp, plus a 2017 scab trade in, and I'll get it for less than I paid for my 17.

    Believe it or not, they offered in on the Transit van either last year or this year.

    WTB: Gen 2 stock muffler.

    Doing a little project. Would need a stock muffler section. Don't need the resonator, don't need the tailpipes. Outside of Philadelphia. Can travel within reason as I know shipping could be crazy.

    What raptor look do u like better? Gen 1 Gen 2 gen 3?

    1 is just an F150 with a grille. 2 is a great design 3's grille/headlight setup isn't right

    Make this tailgate applique' shortage make sense

    It isn't just a piece of plastic. The skin of the tailgate is way different. They might have stacks of appliques, but not the aluminum skin they need.

    GEN 2 Post you favorite Big Mod and your favorite Unique or Bling Mod

    I did line-x in my bed when I first got the truck. Not a particularly bling thing, but the truck is Avalanche and I color matched it.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    My dealer had two allocations for '17. Me and the other guy ended up ordering exactly the same truck except I got the moonroof.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I've always said--anyone who isn't driving an Avalanche Supercab is just kidding themselves. And to qualify for posting in the thread: Bakflip MX4 installed the other day . . . .

    WTB: GEN2 SCAB running boards.

    I know they're out there. Looking for a set, at a minimum, driver's side. Don't need the brackets, but I'll take them if you just have them laying around and need to get rid of them. In Philadelphia area, so driving to pick up isn't an issue if it's a day trip there and back, or meet in...

    GEN 2 Coolant Temperature Spike at Speed

    I have this problem, but didn't always have this problem. Though, I wouldn't necessarily call it a problem, it is just a change I've noticed. I can do it manually at all temperatures. If I drive a cold truck, accelerate, then let off, the temps go up, even if it is from 100 to 110. I'm...
