What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

dreys · Jan 14, 2020

No worries, probably too technical question for you.

There are different rates for fast charging... ie you have native fast charging (ie Samsung Fast Charger with Samsung Galaxy phones), you have standard fast charging (Google Phones), you have wireless fast charging (Qi fast charge), plus many others.

Those are called in technical terms "Quick Charge 2", "Quick Charge 3", "Quick Charge 4+", etc... Different charges support different formats.

Wanted to see what's the improvement, and whether getting USB-C is worth it as compared to simply plugging in Fast Charger in cig outlet.

If you're claiming "faster charging", the good info to have are the actual numbers. Without numbers faster charging means nothing.

Sheesh they are really cheap now. I think it was $139 when I got them. I glued them in place using automotive panel adhesive

Thanks for the link! How do you like them?

Ignoring the obvious insult,

I see what you're saying. I don't have Samsung, so I wouldn't be able to tell you if native fast charging works. All I know is that my Pixel gets fast charging, so standard fast charging must work.

Using a 12v cig adapter is perfectly fine if you don't use Android auto. But this USB C block allows you to get a faster charging speed AND use Android auto at the same time. You can't do that with a 12v adapter.

Thank you.

Didn't mean to insult, apology if it was misread that way.

I've dealt with quite a few Chinese-made "Fast Chargers" that turned out to be "Quick Charge 2.0" and were not much faster as compared to regular USB-A. Knowing the quality of Amazon goods, just trying to estimate the benefit of the upgrade.

With the screenshot I was hoping to use USB-A connection as the "baseline" and knowing the % increase in charge speed to estimate +/- increase you got with upgrade to USB-C.

Thanks for your help, again apology if it was taken the wrong way.

I have no complaints and they look fine. The turn signals work great but do not expect any extra lighting. They are just for looks, but I knew that going in. I like they way the fill the bumper out.

That's a good priced set. I may snag some. If I don't like them they are cheap enough not to hurt my feelings. Thanks for posting.

A bit of an off topic but related question. Do these kind of bumper lights negatively impact the brakes since they would decrease airflow?

I'm not an engineer but there is a ton of air flow with those hole filled. The other F-150's have fog lights in front of the breaks and it's never been an issue. With the added height I'd imagine there flow loss is close to none.
