    All-New Ford F-150 Raptor Will Debut Feb. 3

    True, but in order to "beat" Ram it needs to be at least more than 702HP or Ram will continue the "...most HP available in a truck...." dig at Ford.

    Gen 2 Raptor for wheeling rig, Future Project (2017+)

    Looking for a used Raptor that may have had a difficult life before. Dented or even damaged trucks with salvage or rebuilt titles OK as I'm looking for a wheeling rig and possible project. I'm thinking of a future swap to a regular cab for a short wheelbase Raptor for tackling rock crawls and...

    New Blue SCAB in Northern Colo.

    So I got out to 'play' in the snow today and had a good time. I have a service road near my house that remains unplowed with a nice 60' long 4' high drift that I tested the Rap through. Toward the end I totally lost visual as the wipers couldn't keep the snow off fast enough, but still made it...

    GEN 2 LED stock Headlights ice buildup - NO HEAT!

    I guess the answer is to just mount a couple of these in the fog pockets for a few winter months: https://www.jwspeaker.com/products/led-high-speed-snow-plow-headlight-model-9800-hs/

    GEN 2 LED stock Headlights ice buildup - NO HEAT!

    UGH - Sorry for the rant... Just annoyed. :angry94: It's snowing now and the roads are just mush with slush and the temp is 30º. The ice is caked on the headlights! About 1/4 inch of dirty, road splashed ICE. I couldn't even tell if my lights were actually on! Even the blinkers don't...

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    That's what held me up from messing with the Auto Start/Stop in Forscan. Just unplug the bottom two wire plug from the white module just under the drivers side dash, on the left hand side. Here is a YT link: Start at the 1:00 minute mark.

    Activate Side Mirror Lights while driving?? FORscan

    Just wanted to give an update as I was able to get this completed this weekend on my '18 Raptor. I used the YT link above as it doesn't modify the module, just the wiring: However, I did not remove the module, just the 2 wiring harnesses from it and proceeded to pull the gray wire and jump...

    Activate Side Mirror Lights while driving?? FORscan

    Agreed. The annoying issue i've discovered is that even when pulling up to my mailbox, I cannot turn either light on even after the vehicle is stopped for at least 3-5 seconds. I'm stopped and hitting the spot light button, and finally after 5 seconds or so of being stopped, it finally turns...

    How To Install F150 Headlight Switch fog / driving lights

    Good write up! I wanted to ask if anyone has done this on a Gen2 Raptor? Or possibly provide wiring diagrams for the 2018. :D Have already purchased the replacement switch off eBay and would like to know the pinouts for the fog button on the Gen2 switch. Second question is about the...

    Imposters...

    I wanted to chime in as I bought a 2019 Single Cab XLT for my daily driver. I bought the Raptor replacement grille for it, and it looked better that most with the F-O-R-D grille. It was just not a "fun" daily driver. So I finally found a 2018 SuperCab Raptor and traded the Single Cab for it...

    New Blue SCAB in Northern Colo.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone! I will post some "real" pics soon. :) Such a true statement! Another reason it's going to have high miles very soon. ;) I'm located in La Salle, for the Colorado crowd, and Yes, I love Forscan!

    New Blue SCAB in Northern Colo.

    Hi All, I bought a new 2018 earlier in June from a dealership in Ohio and had it shipped to me here in Northern Colorado. I ended up going with the 2018 over the 2019s only because I wanted the SuperCab as my daily driver, and the 2019s don't have the sunroof option. I opted for that over the...

    Forscan

    I'm located in Northern Colorado. Just south of Greeley on HWY 85. I've done many mods to my 2018 Lariat and of course the 2018 Raptor. I actually started with Forscan on my ol' leased 2016 Explorer. I couldn't stand the double honk then! Let me know if you need any help using Forscan.

    2019 SCABs aren't available with sunroof?

    That's actually what pushed me to go after the (still brand new) 2018 instead of the 2019. I purchased it and had it shipped to me in Northern Colorado from Ohio with 32 miles on it. I'm still not sure of the decision to stop the sunroof option.
