Very easy to do. Just need to drop the intercooler and remove a few clamps around the intercooler hoses. Watch an aftermarket intercooler install for ford raptor. You'll see them remove and install the factory BOV. Curious why they would want you to go back to stock. As far as I know aftermarket...

Production numbers for both Gen 2 and Gen 3 are nearly identical. If you want a unicorn, shop for a clean SVT gen 1. Production numbers were far less.

Each generation is worth the price bump. Figure out a price point that works well for your budget, stick to it. Gen 2 to Gen 3 the big difference is 5 link in the rear vs leaf sprung on the gen 2. Also massive interior upgrade. It takes a bit of upgrading to get the gen 2 to ride like a stock...

Shelter Green. Reminds me of a halo 2 warthog. Best new color by far.

I haven't had good luck from any of the Ford dealers in Las Vegas. They're all backed up with work and takes weeks to get anything done, let alone an appointment to bring it in. What's going on with your steering rack?

That blue one looks really good actually with 5 owners. Does carfax list any major repairs done to it? How about basic service records? Lastly, I would pay for a 3rd party inspection of the vehicle. Having no panoramic sunroof is bonus. Mine has broken twice already since i've owned my gen 2.

5 owners to me with 77k miles is a red flag. Is it a scab? have some photos?

Easy process. Apply some heat to warm up the adhesive and peel the stickers off. Just be careful not to apply too much heat and damage your paint. Use a hairdryer or a heat gun mildly applied across the surface of the sticker. Don’t let it sit over one spot for more than a few seconds. Once...

42-46K range. Focus on finding the one with the best maintenance records. I'd worry about having to swap the cam phasers and a timing job between 100-150k. If you stay on top of maintenance and don't absolutely abuse it all the time, they're very reliable.

I think it's pretty simple... If you have the money to afford a Gen 3, it's the best stock raptor you can buy. You can get a used gen 2 for nearly half the price of a new gen 3 and have it be 90% of the truck the new Gen 3 is. The Gen 3 is a more refined experience when it comes to the motor/...

@Webb24 I mean the discount is nice, but lets be real. No one should be dealing with this ******** cam phaser issue stemming from a bad design. Ford chose to install said part, said part has design failure causing major issues to engine over time, said part should be replaced by Ford to newly...

You could sell it for 50-56k depending where you live. I had a gen 1 that I sold for a Lexus RX 350 when my son was born. About a year later I sold it for a Gen 2 and told myself I would never go without a truck again. The space in the F150 is a big plus. With a rear facing car seat my wife can...

Oh wow - hoping mine was just a squeaking pulley due to the cold. Glad to see the truck has been good for you ever since.

@Sonicsunspot Ever figure out what that was? Mine is doing the same thing.

Thanks @Bee for the write up. That's what I was going to do myself but ended up taking it to a different dealer since I was traveling all last week/ weekend. It has now been sitting in their back lot for 7 days and parts are on order to replace the wheel hub and IWE actuator. It's amazing how...
