    GEN 2 MPT Tunes - any advice

    K223...the button for "Tow Mode" on a Raptor is on the lower left side of the shifter shaft below the handle It's not part of the Modes portion under the right thumb on the steering wheel.

    GEN 2 MPT Tunes - any advice

    Yes. If you're towing it's best to use "Tow Mode" on your shift lever. It changes the way the torque converter locks up and the shift points of the transmission.

    GEN 2 MPT Tunes - any advice

    I have had the MPT Tune in my 2018 for the past two years, 30,000 miles. I primarily use the 93PRX for daily use and the 91 Tow Tune for towing my 22 ft. Bay Boat and my Polaris Ranger. I too did a bunch of research and MPT is a solid. You’ll be happy. One note...my buddy (foolishly) towed a...

    Winter/Snow Tires

    I live in Maine and own a snow removal company, 8 loaders with Nokian snow tires and 17 trucks plowing. Haven’t missed a storm in 28 years. With all that said I run 35x12.50/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on Methods in the summer and the stock beadlocks and BFG’s on my ‘18 in the winter. I drive all...

    GEN 2 Transmission Issue at WOT

    I have the 10 speed in my wife’s 2018 Cadillac Escalade with the 6.2L and it’s absolutely awesome. Same tranny in my 2018 Raptor, not tuned nearly as well. I have had my dealer do the update and still not close to the GM version of the tranny tune...and I’m not a big GM fan but that tranny mates...

    GEN. 2 FORD RAPTOR OVER KILL OR JUST RIGHT ?

    I too live in Maine and have had many trucks from GM & Ford of all sizes. I’ve had a few Corvettes and a Roush 427R Mustang and got tired of parking my sports cars 7 months a year. I traded in my tuned diesel F350 to get the comfort, maneuverability and easier access of the Raptor. After a year...

    Can't decide on what tires to buy

    Nitro Ridge Grappler Update - now that I’ve been running the Nittos for a month I will say they are much much stiffer and don’t ride as well. Also, I now have “Wheel Hop” over expansion joints and certain terrain that I didn’t have before. I like the Nittos but for all but serious off road work...

    GEN 2 Is the NEW tech package worth it?

    I have it all in my ‘18 and travel every other weekend to Sporting Clays Tournaments all over the East Coast and I won’t ever have a travel vehicle without it. I only use it on long trips but when you need it it’s priceless.

    Can't decide on what tires to buy

    I made the switch from stock BFG KO2 to Nitto Ridge Grappler and am very happy with them. The RG is slightly louder but barely noticeable and much more durable. Both are fine unless you are seriously off-roading where ANY A/T tire is not going to compare to a Hybrid or M/T. I kept my BFG on...

    Method 312 87.1 Center?

    Will the new Method 312 18x9 6X135 have an 87.1 hub? Strongly considering this wheel but don’t want balance problems.

    Method Wheels in Snow/salt?

    Absolutely agree. I have a fleet of 15 Ford Super Duty plow trucks and live in the salt and have seen too many pieces of equipment fail sooner than they should and wanted some level of confirmation on the Method Wheels. I am getting them anyway, just didn't know if I would ruin them in the...
