    Wastegate Rattle on Startup Fix?

    I'm starting to think that what I thought was the cam phaser issue on my truck is actually just the wastegate rattle, which seems like it should be a relief.

    Dealer says my 2018 Raptor is only worth $25k on trade

    Is it "selling" at $50k or is it "sitting" for $50k?

    New Tire Time, What's Good These Days?

    TIL that "Old Raptor Guy" is likely younger than me

    Quick Help needed: Phaser Rattle or something else?

    I would say it's the phasers as well. Mine were replaced a few months back but it sounds exactly the same after the replacement as before.

    Decal removal

    My hood graphics came off remarkably easily with no chemicals at all--just waited for a hot day.

    Should i upgraded from 2018 Raptor scab to 2023 Raptor 37 package?

    Would really need to know your goals to answer the question. How bad do you want a new one? Are you independently wealthy? Is there some life change coming that requires the extra interior room?

    GEN 2 Headlight Tint Kit?

    It's essentially impossible to tint lights without reducing the light output; I can't believe this even needs to be point out.

    Sport Mode - The Superior Mode

    100% accurate. Personally, the Raptor's Sport mode feels like someone described a sport mode to a different person that had to implement it, and what they came up with was to just hold gears longer and keep the turbos spooled. It feels totally unnatural to me, kills the gas mileage, and drives...

    Sport Mode - The Superior Mode

    Let's unpack a couple things here: 1) Can't say I've ever noticed a difference in drivetrain stress one way or the other. 2) It is quite noticeable that it holds gears for so long, but I don't see this as positively as most others. 3) There's definitely more turbo use in Sport mode. 4)...

    PMCS: Panoramic Sunroof

    They actually do start rattling by themselves. My brand new '15 Lariat Screw had a rattling sunroof before I had 250 miles on the odometer. I've never had problems with any other sunroof, pano sunroof, or convertible top mechanism in my entire life, but both of my F150's sunroofs have broken.

    Predictions on how long over MSRP pricing will continue?

    1) Anyone can find them for "MSRP" online--they're fishing for suckers. 2) You didn't get four non-local dealers to agree to MSRP on a new Raptor in two hours. 3) There's a non insignificant cost associated with buying a vehicle that requires a 1000 mile round trip to acquire.

    Raptor on turo

    My Raptor is the least delicate vehicle I've owned in years so if I was in the market to rent something, that would be the one. Sometimes I feel like the only car enthusiast that doesn't get emotional about owning a hunk of glass and metal. If it gets broken or stolen, insurance fixes it or buys...

    Mileage at Delivery

    Not surprising, the dealers have no reason to worry about how many miles are on anyone's new Raptors.

    Hit the jackpot this weekend!

    That's what they look like with the beadlock trim rings installed. The OP's used wheels look just like the OEM headlock-capable wheels on my '19 Raptor without the rings.
