    New Black Raptor that’s been sitting for a while.

    There's a white crew at the Marion, IL dealership too, but I don't think it's been there long. The black one in Vienna has been sitting since around Christmas time!

    New Black Raptor that’s been sitting for a while.

    I just wanted to let everyone know there’s a new black crew cab sitting in Vienna, IL at the dealership for several months now. Not sure if they’ll deal or not but I just wanted to pass the info along since it’s a small dealer that’s off the beaten path!! Maybe they’re ready to get rid of it!!

    GEN 2 Almost 3k mikes and my experience with Ford so far...

    Welcome to Ford ownership. My Raptor sat at the dealership for 37 days once while trying to unscrew a transmission issue - eventually replaced the torque converter which fixed it. I wasn't offered a loaner car until about 20 days into the ordeal. Good luck with the fix and I hope they resolve...

    Eating Torque Converters.

    While a different transmission, my '13 ate the torque convertor at only 5500 miles and my truck was seriously babied! It sat at the dealership for 37 days while they threw stuff at it until something finally stuck...It was super frustrating and is one of the reasons I sold the truck and am...

    Should I just give up?

    Former military? If so, use USAA's car buying service and you can get a good deal. You may have to order one, but the price will be good.

    tailgate thefts on the rise!

    Most people will forget to lock the tailgate at just the wrong time and then it's gone. Happened to a buddy of mine with his new F350 - I think his new tailgate was a couple of thousand! These work exactly the same as a hose clamp but they have a special key that's more difficult to...

    Amsoil MPHD is a great product to use underneath!

    Best Rust Proofing Options

    Another vote for this...Did awesome for my '13!

    Car Wash

    If it will fit, be careful if you have graphics...The high pressure has been known to lift the edges if they hit at the right angles.

    Transmission Question

    My '13 ate the torque converter before 6,000 miles...That was a fun 37 day ordeal with the dealership while they couldn't figure anything out...

    Additional rust proofing?

    I sprayed my undercarriage down really well with Amsoil MPHD rust inhibitor as soon as I got it. It went on a bit yellow and waxy but hardened really well and lasted. When I sold the truck 3 years later, I had zero rust issues, but the truck wasn't daily driven either. t'll definitely use it...

    Good luck getting your truck soon and have a blast on the drive up! I always look forward to that trip for sure!

    Will it fit?

    If that were mine I'd still garage it and devise a way to lower the garage door to the top of the bed then use a tarp or enclosure to cover the lower half. Also, what's on the backside of the garage wall? Any way to bump that area out a foot? My new truck wouldn't sit outside all the time...

    Roof racks and Roof top tents?

    We use an Autohome Maggiolina on our Defender 110. It's a bomb proof setup but not the cheapest. If I remember right it weighs about 130lbs. Super water tight and wind proof. Sets up/down in about 2 min and is a piece if cake if having to do it while raining...

    If you couldn't get a raptor ....

    I saw a mint Highboy on Bring a Trailer recently...It was awesome but went for crazy money! The early Land Cruisers are really cool. Even though ours is an FJ62, I'm always amazed at the looks and thumbs up it gets!

    If you couldn't get a raptor ....

    I'm sticking with more vintage for a while since I'm getting tired of the technology in current rigs - currently have a '93 full size Bronco, '93 Land Rover Defender 110 and a '90 Land Cruiser. I really want to get an early '70's 4x4 truck now...

    Hardwiring a radar detector

    I used a Blendmount with my Valentine and ran a power wire around the windshield and down the right A pillar...Then I tapped into one of the uplifter switches so I could leave it on to come on/off with the ignition.
