Typical GM move, sacrifice quality for cheaper supplier costs. Was a mechanic at a GM dealership for 20 years. After their bailout in the early2000s it got bad.

Had a commuter years back while the raptor sat in the yard or the wife drove it. Sold the commuter and bought a second raptor and never looked back. What are you saving the raptor for, the next owner? Yeah, 98% of my miles are highway, but that's where I put my miles on. Not gonna spend my...

Swore I wasn't buying anymore BFGs but I couldn't pass up the deal, so I caved. Installed them on my fuel wheels and finally put them on my truck.

If you've spent as much time in the woods as I have, you'd know that bears don't shit in the woods. They shit in the middle of the road. Agree with the rest, lol.

Those were two of the things that made me seek out a 2023. Red stripe is the raptors heritage right from baja, and the HUD reminds me of something from 1997. Sorry, not a fan, but to each their own. Glad you like it.

I like the look of them also, but not as much as the 21-23 style. Are they still forged? Thought I read somewhere that they're not forged anymore either. Only the wheels that come on the R are forged.

Anyone have an opinion about the steering wheel center stripe being basically deleted? That was one of the small things that defined the original raptor and its roots. I was disappointed with them deleting it.

One of several reasons I picked up my 2023 37 pp. Didn't want the recaros and now your forced to get them if you want the 37 package. Bumper for 24 is cool, but I'd have to paint it. Shocks probably are better, but for my situation would I even notice it? Look for a 23 on the lot somewhere...

I must live in a remote area. I've been on here for 10 years or more and haven't met a single member. Although I feel like I know some of you just from being on here. I see raptors almost every day, but nobody on here. Maybe its better that way:happy175:

I was having the same complaint with my 2020. Just didn't seem to ride near as smooth. Had 50k on my truck. Replaced the front shocks with no noticeable difference. My truck was 100% stock and was 98% highway miles. Small sharp bumps would hit hard and send shudders through the truck. I...

My 2020 had to have the rear end rebuilt twice in 50k miles, but im not sure the second rebuild wasn't caused by flat rate mechanics rushing through the job. Apparently getting good bearing now days is an issue. Pinion bearings failed initially. Differential was a non issue. No abuse, 98%...

Well, what's going on there, and when? I haven't made any definite plans yet. Actually just ran it past my wife to see if she'd be interested, which she is. Might be a bad idea to teach her what her truck is capable of, lol.

I've bought 3 raptors since assault was available and haven't went yet, but I'm seriously considering it now that there's an option for my wife to join me. Thinking about making it a one time vacation in my life by driving out to raptor assault and then driving north to visit glacier National...

Yup. If it becomes a safety issue it has a chance for a recall. If your children get their fingers smashed because the lid fell down, call ford and complain.

Definitely an updated cover. Wonder if they'll make that available for purchase?

I've watched a few different videos and almost everything they changed appeals less to me than the 23. Glad that I picked up the truck I have now, especially paying over 6k less than a 24. Updated shocks are the only thing I find interesting. As far as colors go, every color available on...

Aren't automotive windshields designed to do this anyway? All other windows are designed to shatter and fall out for emergency exits in the event of an accident. My buddies BMW had the rear window shatter and if it wasn't for tint the whole thing would have ended up in the back seat, but I...

Broken valve spring?

I'm 11years in to the raptor obsession , it just keeps getting worse..... Soon your wife will want her own, then you'll have two to modify :insane:

What your raptor is trying to say is drive me more! Take an alternate way to or from work and enjoy the ride. Better for you, way better for the truck.

My wife's truck does the same thing. Usually after sitting several days and if it has seen a couple short trips with high electrical loads and not enough run time to properly charge the battery, usually in the winter. Truck has never failed to start, cranks normally.

What makes this a better filter than a standard fl-820s? Just curious if anyone has looked into it. Wouldn't a racing filter be more about volume and flow at the expense of finer filtration and lifespan? Personally, I run the fl-500s. Always run motorcraft for all my fords.

Torsen diff can cause pulling in 4wd. Too many scenarios to spell out, it just lets you know it's there, even in auto4 it tells you it's there. 99% of the senerios are normal.

If the system maintains vacuum at all times driving, try jacking up the front tires and see if the wheels turn independently of the axle while the truck is still idling and vacuum is still being applied post solenoid. My experiences with iwe's is they start to engage while driving due to...

Attempted to install my baja mode decal today. This is what's left: Then I did something controversial and swapped my running boards. Had to see for myself. I made up a small mudflap to help reduce the amount of material that comes up through the holes in the boards.Finally, I relocated the...
