How do we disable the alarm in the Ford? I did this in my Power Wagon, but was just wondering about the Raptor.

FORSCAN is your friend. Here’s a link that will give you everything you need to know. Doing these changes is much easier than it seems when you first dive into it. You’ll need a windows laptop, ODB II adapter and a FORSCAN license.
If your decide to do this, above all, save backups of your original files.

So true! My 2019 was set to 45 all around at delivery. Never thought to check before leaving dealer and had 506 mile drive home. Stopped after a few hours driving to get a hotel for the night since it was getting dark. Woke up in the morning and tbought to check it...found them at 45 cold...was like wtf, lowered them to 37 for the rest of the ride and night day difference in ride quality. Ironically, it was about 33F in Ohio when I picked it up and in the 70s in Charlotte...after I got home and checked the next morning in the driveway, they had warmed up to 39/40 again. Lowered a few more psi back to 37 and they stay there now. Driving brings them to 39 most days. Might go to 35/36 cold.

Tire pressure is a major factor... I agree with everyone. I run a 17' method on 37" BFGS, and Im at 36 front 32 rears. Its funny... I am actually scouting a Cummins Tow Pig/Overland build and ditching the Raptor. I absolutely love my Raptor, but I inherited some toys, and I cant tow with the Rap. Perhaps Ill keep it, but for now its up for sale... Congratulations on your truck. BTW... I am not trying to hijack a thread with my mention of the sale, just a coincidence...
Was going to post basically this. Do ALL of above, especially backup. Once you get into it the Forscan customization it's pretty cool. And def check and change your tire PSI. Truck looks great, good luck and welcome.

The Manual gives you a method to deactivate.
Deactivating and Activating the
Belt-Minder Feature
WARNING: While the system
allows you to deactivate it, this system
is designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an
accident. We recommend you leave the
system activated for yourself and others
who may use the vehicle.
Note: The driver and front passenger
warnings switch on and off independently.
When you perform this procedure for one
seating position, do not buckle the other
position as this will terminate the process.
Note: If you are using MyKey, you cannot
disable the Belt-Minder. Also, if the
Belt-Minder has been previously disabled,
it will be re-enabled during the use of
MyKey. See MyKey™ (page 63).
Read Steps 1 - 4 thoroughly before
proceeding with the programming
procedure.
Before following the procedure, make sure
that:
• The parking brake is set.
• The transmission is in park (P).
• The ignition is off.
• The driver and front passenger seatbelt
is unbuckled.
1. Switch the ignition on. Do not start the
engine.
2. Wait until the seatbelt warning light
turns off (about one minute). After
Step 2, wait an additional 5 seconds
before proceeding with Step 3. Once
you start Step 3, you must complete
the procedure within 30 seconds.
3. For the seating position you are
switching off, buckle then unbuckle the
seatbelt three times at a moderate
speed, ending in the unbuckled state.
After Step 3, the seatbelt warning light
turns on.
4. While the seatbelt warning light is on,
buckle then unbuckle the seatbelt.
After Step 4, the seatbelt warning light
flashes for confirmation.
• This switches the feature off for that
seating position if it is currently on.
• This switches the feature on for that
seating position if it is currently off.

Wow... I'm surprised they didn't mention to spin around on your head six times. LOL
ForScan is soooo much easier.
