I backed into a mailbox and gouged the rear quarter panel. It's like 3 scratches and a barely noticeable dent, but the scratches are deep enough that the aluminum is clearly gouged. The body repair shop wants to replace the entire rear quarter panel which brings the total cost of repairs to...

Looking at the Recon tail lights for the 18 Raptor. Do these support the rear blind spot and do they have all the needed hardware?

Same boat here! I was hoping to trade in my 18 Raptor for a new GMC ATX4, Cadillac Escalade, or new Raptor. Th ADM's and lack of availability is ridiculous. So like you, I'm now contemplating pimping out my Raptor and waiting another 2 years for the market to normalize.

Spot on, it's exactly what they did! The new VCT Solenoid resolved the issue and the Raptor is running great.

Purchased new. Last year they had the vehicle for almost 5 weeks. This time they gave me an ETA of 3-4 weeks before they know what's up and if parts are needed it could be more. Yes, it's covered under warranty but the mileage is at 55K now and I'm not that excited about the powertrain warranty...

I've shared previously how my 18 Raptor has experienced rough idle on a few occasions without triggering errors. Over the last 2 days I've encountered the issue with greater frequency and this time resulting in 10-20% power loss after rough idle. Usually I encounter the issue in traffic at a...

I thought the issue had worked itself out as the truck has been running fine. Tonight as I pulled into the garage, the RPM's dropped low and near stall, I could hear a ticking noise from the engine. My guess is the issue is going to go away when I take it in to dealer. Sigh.

On Monday my Raptor started to idle low and near stall while waiting at a red light. I put the vehicle in neutral and revved the engine and that seemed to keep it going. When the light turned green the engine started to knock and the rough idle persisted for the rest of my 2 mile drive home...

Thanks for all the tips! I appreciate it.. We made it into Crested Butte last night and the weather here is nice. It's cold this morning but no snow fall is expected today. 4A worked well and the only issue I had was parking. Our AirBNB has a small garage and the Raptor won't fit but it could...

I'm headed up to Crested Butte this weekend and it will be the first time my 18 Raptor has seen snow. It's primarily a pavement queen in TX so any tips appreciated? What's the best drive mode and what tire pressure do you run for snow conditions? The Raptor is cruising on K02 tires

I'm the personal Uber to my daughter and I realize I spend a lot of time idling. Here in TX it gets hot and often I'm idling with the AC running for extended periods of time. I'm wondering if I should consider any upgrades to ensure reliability of my Raptor?

2K for SWAT package? LOL

My bad

Check out this Cartel Raptor start up at 14:55 in this video. Would be funny to pull up at a dealer with this thing. Lol

The dealer finally finished work on my Raptor. They completed the following: Replaced all 4 VCT Units Sprocket camshaft Timing chain tensioner Replaced cylinder head (plus supporting parts in that side of engine) Many more parts Summary: After performing TSB 21-2119 for rattle (twice) a...
