I buy my ICOM radios from hamradio.com. I have a new 2018 Raptor and have installed an ICOM 4100A and a Cobra 75 WX ST. There are posts on the Internet that show how to enable all bands for ICOM radios. It is usually a matter of removing a few jumpers from the motherboard. If you have trouble...

Stop/go definitely is NOT in my 2018 Raptor. Schmagagled and jaz13 are right! I have to eat my words. 1. Raptor Technology Package @ $1,950 includes: • Lane-Keeping System • Lane Departure Warning • Auto High Beam • Rain-Sensing Wipers • Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Mitigation...

It definitely is available in my 2018 Raptor. I'll take a video when I get a chance.

I have tested it in real traffic! Page 242 is Adaptive Cruise Control, not Start-stop. See picture of the manual. The referenced article is talking about adaptive cruise control with what Ford calls stop and go - this is NOT the same as Engine start-stop: "To better serve pickup buyers looking...

My 2018 Raptor does stop and go but you have to hit resume to go from a full stop if you are stopped for more than 3 seconds. From the 2018 F150 Owner's Manual (page 242): "Following a Vehicle to a Complete Stop If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete stop and remains stationary for...

Update: the dealer has agreed to send me a Securicode card with an adhesive label with my code on it. The dealer sold me the truck at MSRP in here in Cali so I have no complaints. Another local dealer has 6 2017 Raptors and 2 2018 Raptors all at $20k over MSRP - they are creating a Raptor...

I have the code. I want the card because it was supposed to be delivered with the truck and eventually I want to pass it on to whoever I sell the truck to down the road. $68K and the dealer loses the card and it can't be replaced because of lame Ford policies. That sucks IMHO. If it could be...

My dealer lost my the Securicode card for my 2018 Gen 2 Screw before delivery. They was able to give me the 5 digit code from the Ford database but not the card. Ford does not provide for a way for the dealer to order a replacement. Does anyone know of a service that provides replacement...

My Gen 2 Screw was delivered on 8/27/17 and built on 8/8/17. I was at 8500' for five days and a bubble appeared under the leather on the driver's side dash on day 2. The bubble subsided when I came back to sea level. My servicing dealer's body shop said: 1. ignore it ie live with it 2. put a...

Thanks for the advice! Jake17 I will think of you when I hear the hiss.

2018 Gen 2 Magnetic Screw Door jam says 38 psi front and rear, tires say 45 psi, truck was delivered with front tires at 46 psi and rear tires at 48 psi. Advice please.

This truck has been sold.

The iPad mini runs an app called MotionX-GPSHD. You can download terrain maps for any area that you want to explore (the iPad's 128GB memory limits how much data you can download but I haven't had an issue so far). Why pre-trip download? Where I travel cell site access is sketchy to none. I...
