    Raptor with an XLT grill

    I was recently in Alaska and passed a gen2 on the highway who had "Raptor" in place of the Ford in the grille. In the 2 second glancing pass @ 65MPH, I liked the look. I haven't been able to find anything like it online though. A big reason I went with the tailgate applique delete on my...

    Any recommendations for a dashcam?

    While I don't remember which fuse taps I ordered, the ones I had did require a bit of filing to ground down some plastic on the tap to actually fit into the fuse slot.

    Any recommendations for a dashcam?

    Also sporting a Blackvue, tapped into aux switch and fuse box. Mounted the rear camera just to the passenger side of center to not interfere with the sliding window. Very easy to tuck the wires under the headliner. Just pulled the bottom passenger kick panel near fuse box for easier access...

    GEN 2 Possible transmission issues

    I have very similar problems with my 2017. Have had it into the dealer 4 times (aligned with other recalls) and the fix is always to clear the adaptive transmission learning tables. Drives great for 6 months and then goes downhill again. I haven't gone down the path of getting/learning...

    SSM 49217 for mirrors doesn't apply to Raptor?

    Thanks for the feedback - it is indeed the glass motors upon entry / exit. That is when I typically hit the fold out button and in my mind they were related. Looks like I'll be looking for a friend with IDS as the dealer was firm on the update not applying and 'Ford' not likely to approve...

    SSM 49217 for mirrors doesn't apply to Raptor?

    I have the occasional mirror clicking / ratcheting when the mirrors fold out that I've seen previously discussed. The dealer is telling me SSM 49217 only applies to regular F150s and not the Raptor. This is after they said Ford wouldn't do anything under warranty as I have (cosmetic) damage...

    GEN 2 List your camper/travel trailer info

    Mine a few posts up is also a 2800bh (2019). Recognize we are pushing payload. But I do let the kids, wife, and dog come along in the truck. About 10k miles towing now. All stock suspension. Congrats - we've loved our grand design.

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    I have a 2017 Gen2 that I tow a 32' travel trailer with. I knowing I'm pushing the payload capacity (800lb TW), but with the WD hitch properly dialed in I only get about an inch of squat (OEM suspension, 10k+ miles towing).

    Sync 4? Available for Gen 2?

    For Android users, I have been using one of these for a few months and it has been stable/solid after the initial software update:. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/aawireless

    GEN 2 List your camper/travel trailer info

    Well that didn't work right on the first post attempt. Over 5k miles pulling our travel trailer.

    Harsh downshift to 3rd only, trans update performed and came back

    First time around TSB#18-2774 was applied and TSB# 18-2079 the most recent visit. I also experience the hard shifts to drive (typically when reversing out of the garage in the morning, cold trans temp)

    Harsh downshift to 3rd only, trans update performed and came back

    Same experience here -- 2017 with hard downshifts from 4th to 3rd within 6 months of a "relearn". I have had it in 3 different times with no real improvement. I've been delaying taking it back in as it seems nothing available beyond a temporary fix that normally takes the local dealer at...

    Who is Towing a Travel Trailer and what are your experiences

    I'm towing a 32' 2800BH Grand Design travel trailer. Properly dialed in WDH is a must. I was a little worried on my initial drive home as the truck didn't feel as planted on the road as I would like (sway with passing semis). Working on the WDH and getting a bit more tounge weight on the...
