    It was a short pipe-dream…

    My father in law has a top of the line Rivian truck. When it bricks, and it does from time to time, it has to be flatbedded to Atlanta. Also, he decided to buy a relatively small tow behind camper. The range is so bad towing that he has had to resort to borrowing his son’s Silverado when they...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    I feel like when I check this thread in 2025, it will be 750 pages long and it will only be settled when we all agree to tow nothing more than a single bag of marshmallows in the bed with a 97lb jockey in the driver’s seat.

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    I tow a 10k boat short distances every weekend. It’s on a triple axle, so the tongue weight is not terrible. In tow mode it does great. Yes it sags, but not nearly as bad as my 2019 raptor. I wouldn’t put that setup on the interstate, but a few miles back and forth is fine.

    Towing a large boat with the gen 3

    I drag a 2022 Malibu 25lsv behind my Gen 3. Tows way way better than my Gen2 did. The towing setting really helps. My boat is like 10k on the trailer, so I don’t go too far, but for a 5k boat I think you’ll be just fine. You can’t use a wdh with a typical boat trailer with surge brakes.

    If there is any chance you and your daughter were injured in that accident, I’d take that post down.

    Differences from '18 to '23?

    I went from a 19 to a 23. Interior is better on the 23 overall. Tech, screen size and overall fit and finish is better. Not leaps and bounds, but better. The power tailgate, cruise control/lane keeping/added power/adaptive headlights/exhaust tone are nice upgrades. The rear suspension and...

    Ford Pass App Died after only 2 months

    I lost some settings when I performed the power cycle. Worth it though. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app does nothing if your truck is not connecting to Wi-Fi. I tried everything and the power cycle / battery terminal disconnnect was the only thing they worked.

    Ford Pass App Died after only 2 months

    My truck lost connectivity. Unhooking the tcu for 4 hours did nothing. Unhooking the negative battery terminal for an hour fixed the issue.

    MSRP Raptors Available

    I just purchased a 2023 from Mountain View Ford in Chattanooga for MSRP last weekend. I was offered a 2022 from D.Patrick Ford in Indiana for MSRP as well last Saturday, but it looks like it must have sold. Prices are definitely dropping to MSRP. I've been looking for months and this is the...

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    Well I towed my 2022 Malibu 25lsv with my 2019 Raptor. The boat is on a triple and it did sag the rear, but if you go slow and don’t got far it’s tolerable. I just picked up a 2023 Raptor Saturday so I’ll report back on whether it’s any better when the temp hits 70 on a weekend!

    Air Lift 89413 LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus Air Suspension Kit (Gen 2 Raptor)

    Hey all! I am selling a rear suspension airbag kit I purchased for my 2019 Gen 2 that I never installed. I bought this kit from Amazon warehouse. It's still in the box and was never installed. The box has sat in my garage for a year, so the box itself does not look brand new, but I never...

    Gen2 Trade in Value?

    Bumping an old thread here, but I just traded in my loaded 2019 with 42k miles. My 19 needed new tires and brakes, but was otherwise was in great shape. I purchased it new from the same dealership to which it was traded. I was offered a fully loaded 2023 Raptor (35) in the color (oxford white)...

    How long did your factory tires last?

    I just traded in my 19 with 42k miles and they were pretty close to toast. I tow a heavy boat and drive up and down a curvy mountain every day, but I rotated them and took care of the truck. People claiming 75k miles must be driving on cords!
