    Stock BFG tread life?

    I was able to get 67k on the original tires. I have a 2014SCAB run 36-38psi & rotate them every 5k. There was plenty of meat left on them but I replaced them this fall because the winters in Southern New England can be ugly & was thinking I’d be shopping for a new truck this year… so might as...

    Welcome that looks great! I’m driving a 2014 silver SCAB out of Southington! Don’t get east of the river too often but I’ll keep an eye out.

    Picked Her Up and Had Some Fun

    That's awesome! Today is my build date. Damn you Ford for making me wait! I'm thinking about calling the dealer ever hour and asking if it's ready yet.... I'm looking for places already to go get muddy straight from the dealer. :drool:

    Build to delivery?

    I ordered mine in Oct & was cursed with a 12/2 build date also. The big variable is if Ford builds them before they close the plant for the week between holidays.... ---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ---------- Best deal I got was $1500 off the MSRP on...

    Factory Toneau Covers

    I'm waiting on my Raptor to be built but have been shopping around for covers. I had a folding cover from Advantage, it sucked! It was on a '05 F250 never fit right & always let water in. Started asking around about the one Ford uses made by REV - supposedly, if Ford dealer installs it then...

    Hard shifts on cold start most mornings....

    Anyone know what the recommended "break -in" period for the engine/ transmission? Reason I ask is b/c I'm getting a 2014 out of FL, but plan to drive it home to CT? I was talking w/ a guy who said you're not supposed to hit highway speeds for a prolonged ride until you log at least 250 miles...

    Preliminary Information

    Try letting the engine warm & transmission warm up to operational ranges before you take off. I've had similar issues w/ my F250. I'll bet this will help. Costs nothing but a few minutes @ start up.

    OCD

    I was thinking about the same problem. I see so many black Raptors & they look AWESOME! But how the hell do you prevent the swirl marks? A truck that's meant to get dirty ought to have a paint job that's just as tough/durable.

    2013 Unscheduled Clean Club

    I spoke to Hoffman's in Hartford yesterday about ordering one. The salesman said, that the way Ford's building these, he expected arrival for January. He did take the time to check his computer & ask a few other people but basically said, best bet is to place the order in the last week of...

    Hows it Handling?

    I'm shopping for a '13 or '14 Raptor. Currently, I own a '05 f250 screw w/ 6.0 diesel, avg 12-13 mpg's. & about 6k miles/year. All the reviews say is how awesome an off roader the raptor is. I need to know how does it do in real world conditions, bad weather, heavy traffic, interstate &...

    Raptor

    I'm shopping for a Raptor & have been thinking I'd wait for the 14's. Because I've got to sell my F250, but can't find any significant changes from the 13's. Any info would help. Also how do they handle in the snow & nasty stuff winter will throw at us in New England?
