    I use spare change to pelt transients with. I get a kick out of it, they love it. It’s a win-win but so live in Austin so I’m out of change now.

    I invented the word “Raptoring”. As in: Hang on y’all, we’re going Raptoring. The act of creating your own freeway exit where none exists.

    Not Raptor - Dealer Cracked Head in JK During Routine Repair - Any Advice?

    Ah dang Truckzor you have me pegged! How did you become so good at that? You’re absolutely right, Maybe I don’t know how to talk to people. Are you in the same boat? You were a **** to your dealer too and they refused to let you inspect your cylinder walls and run compression tests and such...

    Not Raptor - Dealer Cracked Head in JK During Routine Repair - Any Advice?

    Yea....Like Jeep is gonna let anyone (consumer Joe) come in there and start commanding to look at cylinder walls and want leak down tests and this that and the other. I have two Chrysler’s, a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Ram 2500. The Jeep when under warranty was the absolute biggest nightmare. I...

    How much have people paid for a fully loaded super crew raptor?

    Galpin Ford in Los Angeles is giving Raptors away for only 25K over sticker! Not a huge Cali supporter so we found exact same truck with more options for $1,100 under MSRP. Bob Hurley Ford in Tulsa Oklahoma. Flying there now to pick up.

    The stigma of owning a Raptor

    I have a confession. When I quit working in the oil field to start my own company, I had to make ends meet somehow to stay ahead of my bills and I used to Uber in my Raptor. People would trip out riding around in it. Lots of people have no clue that trucks can be that nice on the inside. They...

    The stigma of owning a Raptor

    It’s funny to be on both sides of the Raptor fence. Those who have them, and those who want to have them. I think it’s funny that nobody trash talks the $80,000 SUV which is essentially a truck with an integrated camper shell and some third row seats but they always trash talk a Raptor. I’m...

    Wrecked My Raptor. What now???

    The vehicle was a total loss so it's pretty well a gonner now. After payoff I'll have $15K leftover. I initially paid $49,500 for it two years ago. I'm budgeting $35,000 or a bit more on another used Raptor. As long as the miles are in line with the year model, and it's a 6.2L Screw, I'll be...

    Wrecked My Raptor. What now???

    Last update. State Farm came through for me pretty big. They are giving me $52,000 for the Total loss. After they pay my bank off, I'll have a check for just over $15,000. Oh, and I can keep my 3 undamaged wheels and 4 undamaged tires. They factored in the new motor replacement from Ford and it...

    Wrecked My Raptor. What now???

    So...I got an update. Not sure what to think yet till the final numbers come in. Friday When I made this post, the estimate to repair came back at $33,500 to repair. State Farm bases total losses on a 75/25 scale. If it costs more than 75% of the value to repair, it's a total loss. When I called...

    Wait list & MSRP issue

    I remember looking at Raptors locally here in the Austin area. Several had "market adjustment prices that added $5,000 to the MSRP. I obviously wasn't willing to do that, and turned to the used market. Most dealerships were willing to work with me on used and take a grand or so off the price for...

    Wrecked My Raptor. What now???

    So...Unfortunately, I wrecked my baby. Totally my fault, I was making a left turn from a lane I'm accustomed to turning in during the day. It always has a green arrow. Till about 9:00pm.... Later at night, it's a yield on green only with no arrow. Long story short, there were two cars ahead of...

    Motor Failure with no warning!

    Crystal, thanks for checking up on all that for me. Motor came in today and the techs will be working on it starting this afternoon. I'll keep everyone posted on the process and try to snap a few pics of the process of I'm able to go down to the dealership. I am not worried about my little...

    Motor Failure with no warning!

    Engine Failure So with my limited understanding of engines, here is the case so far. Cylinder 2 lost compression and there was scoring and piston slap evidence on that side of the motor. Since the other side of the motor appears to be fine, this will be a short block install vs. a complete long...

    Motor Failure with no warning!

    I have a 2013 Raptor Screw with 51,000 miles on it. Fresh off an oil change that I almost always do before the truck reminds me to do anyway. Last Friday, I was cruising downtown Austin dropping a friend off at a hotel when the truck started shaking pretty violently when I tried to accelerate...

    Raptor Steering Wheel Removal

    I tried and I'm at 38,xxx miles. The guy wouldn't budge but said I could swap wheels with another Raptor (say with 10,000 miles like my dad's Raptor) then he could bring it in under warranty. My dads looks brand new and he has to take his truck in for a warranty issue anyway due to a noise...

    Brushed Aluminum Dents

    So I swore up and down that if I ever got a Raptor one day that it would be white and that I hated the blue interior with brushed aluminum trim. That all went to hell though when I found a white one at the right price. Only problem was it had the ugly blue interior. I almost turned my back on it...

    Raptor Steering Wheel Removal

    Do y'all think the steering wheel swap will be just as easy on a 2013/2014 with power telescoping wheel? My red stripe is the only ugly blemish on the inside of my truck and I want to replace it. Bugs me everytime I look at it. The previous owner wore it out, I don't touch it very much so it...
