    SOLD - 2018 White Raptor 802A, perfect condition, 72k miles with 100k warranty through Oct. 2026

    Sure - it went to rs auto remarketing. The guy I worked with is Arshian. If you do reach out to him let him know you got his name from Rob. He's supposed to give me a $200 referral fee :). Website is rsautoremarketing.com - it was a very low hassle process. His number is 714-414-8975. Call or text

    SOLD - 2018 White Raptor 802A, perfect condition, 72k miles with 100k warranty through Oct. 2026

    I ended up letting it go for $50k to a wholesale dealer. I did have a couple of people interested above that but it seems the dealer world is controlling things. It went from wholesaler to auction where it was bought by a retail dealer. It's now on its way to a dealer in Victorville. Not sure...

    SOLD - 2018 White Raptor 802A, perfect condition, 72k miles with 100k warranty through Oct. 2026

    I've loved my Raptor since the day I picked it up, but I'm getting the itch to get a Gen 3 or potentially a Raptor R. I've also had a vehicle drop in my lap recently (long story, but a fleet vehicle from my work came into my hands for stupid low money). While I'm working on lining up my next new...

    2023 Raptor 35 Market at MSRP

    There seem to be a lot more Raptors on the lots these days here in SoCal. Hard to believe those markups will stick. The dealer in Rancho Santa Margarita is asking $13,500 over but they have 11 on the lot with more in transit. It's a small dealership as well. From my experience you need to get...

    Road trippin'

    I've done many long road trips and the Gen2 is great. SoCal to Seattle, Montana, Denver a few times a year. My record in one day was 1000 miles in 15 hours with just a couple of short 20 minute stops - tried to keep it under 85 through Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. What is impressive if not...

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

    Finally got around to putting on the Power Stop rear brakes I bought a few months ago. 72,000 miles and still had 5.5mm of pad left

    Does this sound like cam phaser rattle?

    Sounds worse than my cam phaser problem, which was fixed under warranty.

    to sell or not to sell my rolling metal bed cover

    I had the roll type on my old F250 and opted for a BakFlip on my Raptor. I prefer the backflip for sure. I would think selling the rolling cover will be a PIA. I do see one locally on CL, guy is asking $1500 for a retrax which seems a bit high to me

    The end of the road for my 2018 Raptor :(

    Scary situation - good luck finding a 2023 that fits. Would be great to hear your comparison of Gen 2 vs. 3

    OPINIONS ON MONTANA REGISTRATION

    Sorry - the MT DMV told me that California CHP is on the lookout for out of state plates, cracking down on those who try to skirt sales tax and registration. Corrective action is to register the truck properly or have it leave the state. I've done this a number of times over the last 20+ years...

    OPINIONS ON MONTANA REGISTRATION

    I had the same dilemma when I bought my 2018 a little over 4 years ago. I got Montana plates that were the same color as CA plates and always drove a bit paranoid. After one year I registered the truck in CA without paying sales tax. Felt guilty for about 10 minutes. I convinced myself this was...

    Best Winter Tires for Gen2?

    When I recently replaced my K02s I specifically asked for the same tires that came with the truck. They told me I got the last set and they were being discontinued (this was at the Ford dealer). What they told me was that the E load rated tires were available but not the C that the Raptor came...
