    2300 Miles and OIL everywhere

    I also have a small portion on the passenger side front of the wheel well where its not welded properly. You can see daylight through it.

    California emissions

    Dealer where you buy it will charge you the sales tax for the state and county you live in. You don't pay it in both states.

    Question on drive modes

    I have a quick question that I can't find the answer to in the owners manual. I assume it is ok to switch between drive modes while the vehicle is moving. I would assume if you were driving down the road a a speed that was too fast it wouldn't allow the truck to go into baja or the rock crawler...

    Transmission problem

    I get what your saying but Ford says nothing to you about breaking in the transmission. Most people aren't going to go crazy on their new truck but I guarantee you everyone is going to put it in the different drive modes and make sure it will do the 107 mph lol. If the truck won't handle this I...

    Transmission problem

    I feel bad for you. It just seems that on situations like these it should get escalated to the top team much quicker. Most of us are reasonable enough that if someone is in contact with us assuring us that we will be taken care of we will be more understanding. After a few attempts to fix the...

    Transmission problem

    Truck came home last night with a new transmission in it. It is quite a bit smoother shifting now then it was on my way home from Colorado which makes me more confident that this one will last. I finally had a chance this morning to play around with the different drive modes. So far really...

    For those who hate big wheels!!

    I think it looks great. I agree there isn't enough clearance. The stock Raptors are beautiful but they all look the same. It's nice to see a little different look.

    Transmission problem

    Well they have had the truck since Feb 11th and the new transmission is supposed to be at the dealership tomorrow. It took a long time to get it moving in the right direction but the gal in charge of this in Dearborn Michigan is doing a great job. If all goes well the Raptor will be headed home...

    Did research and made calls....

    I called dealers all over the country. Called probably 20 per day from cars.com, ebay, dealers around the net. I probably talked to 80 dealers who all laughed at me at msrp. Found one in Pennsylvania for 2k over. Ended up buying one in Colorado for $4500 since I could drive there and trade mine...

    GEN 2 Towing an RV

    I live in Walla Walla Wa and I've called dealers all over the Northwest and have yet to find one of these mythical MSRP deals. I had one ordered in Eugene at $4500 over. I cancelled it and bought one in Colorado for $4500 over. They may come down sooner than later but I'm sure not seeing it...

    My 2017 Shadow Black Raptor build by Eurotech Motorsports

    Krock I get that this isn't the style of build some guys would like but to say that is not a beautiful truck is just crazy. The work on that looks fantastic. I can't begin to imagine how much money you have into that truck but I'm sure you love everything that has been done to it. Drive that...

    GEN 2 CA Emissions Issues

    If they are all built the same why doesn't ford just list California emissions on every window sticker? It's a free option. Makes no sense to me.

    Transmission problem

    What a joke and I'm so sorry you are having problems to. I think we all understand things can happen but Ford has a responsibility to get you back on the road and take your tranny back to Dearborn and go at it on their own time. You get so excited to get your truck and then this really just...

    Transmission problem

    So the day started off a little rocky when the servicing dealership called me and they want their van back tomorrow. They said it was my job to fight Ford for a rental car. They are going to drive down 4 of the 5 hours they are away from me to pick it up. I've got to drive an hour but so be it...
