When I got some minor natural pin striping on my fender flares, i just took a black marker on the white lines and then rubbed my finger over it while it was wet. Unless you look for them, you don’t see them.

I got this 4Knines too, for 2 Geat Danes. It’s held up very well since I purchased it in 2021. I wish it had door panels similar to the Meadowlark, because I haven’t found large enough door panels for the truck doors that work well using the window slot holders, and I really don’t want to stick...

Is this the under seat storage you’re talking about? https://accessories.ford.com/products/f-150-2015-2021-under-seat-ebony-cargo-organizer-1 It came with my 2017 Raptor and was very useful for storing a small tool bag and breaker bar for the lugs, but my 2023 didn’t come with it either, and yes...

I guess that’s why it throws all the alerts on the dash instead of a grinding noise from the front. If the wire energizing the magnet break does it engage the IWE? One thing I liked about the vacuum, is if it failed it failed to 4x4 not 2 wheel drive.

When I got my 2017 gen 2 the only mechanical problem I had was the IWE. It was intermittent, so it took two trips to the dealer for them to fix it. This forum told me what it was and once I knew that I used 4A with no problems until I could get it into the dealer the second time for the final...

I put seat covers on the back seats and they tend to hold the buckles up once you pull them through the opening in the cover. Especially the airbag belt buckles. When you fold the seats up and down, you'll have to pull them through again.

You have to plug the phone in for Android Auto to work too. Some apps work over BT, but the full Android Auto experience is cabled and glitchy. No favorites on AA either.

Sounds like IWE. I had the same problem at 5K miles. To isolate, I suggest put it in 4A when it happens and it should clear. I drove around in 4A (safe on dry pavement for testing) for a week and never heard it. The challenge was getting it to happen with the service tech riding with me to hear it.

I drove my friends fx4 before the Raptor and I didn`t like the ride. If the truck is empty the ride is more harsh on an fx4. The Raptor surprisingly has a softer ride on and off road, maybe the suspension or the tires make the difference. Its annoying to drive on road trips because my passengers...

We had a similar intermittent noise, not speed related nor gear related. Although when on the highway it would rattle and then thunk whereas on a slower drive just rattle intermittently. Based on what I read here and other sites on the internet i figured it was some part of the IWE. First visit...

I read either here or the manual, that engine will run 87, but suggested you doing so in the winter and use higher octane in the summer. I run 93 and yes, don't empty the tank and it will hurt less.

I have gotten great value from following some of the posts on this forum (and many more questions), and feel it's time for me to contribute.
