    Software Updates

    Connected my truck to Wifi for the first time today. Went in the house for a sandwich. An hour and a sandwich later, came back to that same truck. New update now installed. And I've been using the "check for updates" function every day for last week, which told me I was up to date and...

    Rear seat not sitting all the way down.

    Ended up getting some Hard Rubber Adhesive shims from Mcmaster-Carr and putting it on top of the metal brackets the seat drops on to. Solves the problem. Not sure if the rotational timing of the banking point on the seat is off, or if the brackets on the floor themselves are lower. When I...

    Mud Flaps for gen 3

    I would use the Rokblokz hardware for the rear, those metal clips are better than fords plastic inserts, which kind of get damaged once you take the screw out. For the front, the ford screws are probably better off, the Rockbloks washer inner diameter is way too big for that screw size, it...

    Load Bars for Factory Retractable Hard Cover

    Thanks, I'm just worried about the slot to slot distance, I don't see it listed on some of these load bars, just compatability by cover brand and model. Guess I'll have to measure it and try to match it to one of the retrax models. Just figured someone might know it off the bat.

    Load Bars for Factory Retractable Hard Cover

    Hey Everyone, I have the retractable "roll up" style bed cover that was a factory option when ordering the truck. I'd like to get a pair of load bars to mount in the t slots, just not 100% sure what model/brand cover this is? Ford has its logo on it, not sure if it's a retrax and what model, or...

    Rear seat not sitting all the way down.

    Any update on this? I lifted the rear passenger side seat for the first time a couple weeks ago and just noticed the misalignment recently, it definitely was flush before. Its driving me crazy.

    Service Engine Soon Warning after full PPF

    Looks like my truck came wired incorrectly from factory then. I remember touching the inner lamp that had the cover and wondering why it was so hot, than realized the fog lights were on behind the black cover. Figured Ford or dealer put caps in wrong spot. I guess the PPF guys rewired...

    Service Engine Soon Warning after full PPF

    Went through the manual but am not finding how they are set from factory.. I even went through photos on my phone pre-ppf to confirm they were the inner lights before..

    Service Engine Soon Warning after full PPF

    Actually have another particular issue, somehow my aux fogs and normally on fogs got switched? It used to be that the inner fogs would come on automatically, and the outer fogs were controlled with the rocker aux 1 switch. Now, for some reason, aux 1 controls the inner fogs, and the outer fogs...

    Fewer 2023 Allocations?

    Got my 2022 raptor at MSRP. When I went to pick it up a couple weekends ago, salesman told me they had 6 2022 allocations, and only 1 2023 allocation. It forced them to ask for a 5k ADM on the 2023.

    Is Full PPF Worth it?

    Lots of good feedback here, much appreciated. I do have the rapid red with the tinted clearcoat so wondering if that means I have an extra tiny layer of protection already haha.. For those who did get PPF, what kind of guarantees are you getting from your installers? How many years? I'm planning...

    Is Full PPF Worth it?

    Hello all, Just wanted some feedback from those with experience using non-stealth PPF for protection. Is the full wrap worth the cost? Getting quotes around $6K. Just wondering how they hold up over time, mostly concerned about edges and lips peeling. The trails in the northeast can get...
