    Why does Sirius XM radio source "shut off" as soon as CarPlay connects?

    This also happened in my Gen2 with a wireless CarPlay adapter installed. I get in and start the truck, the radio starts playing Ozzy's BoneYard or whatever SXM channel I was listening to last time I was in the truck, wireless CarPlay connects, and the music stops. I am forced to press the...

    $150 2015-2020 Bed Extender + $10 in hardware from Home Depot = $795 Ford 2011-2023 Bed Extender

    I have had the folding/stowable bed extender in all my Raptors since 2011. I like the convenience of not having to remove it in order to have access to the entire bed for large items as it tucks nicely behind the wheel wells. I was shocked to find that Ford now wants $795 for the exact same part...

    The folding bed extender for Gen3 is $795 now!? I paid $250 as an option on my 2017

    Seriously, wth? https://accessories.ford.com/products/bed-extender I found this one on Amazon that look identical to the one that came on my 2017 for under $200, but not sure if it will fit or the quality. Does anybody have any experience with a folding/showable bed extender for the Gen3 that...

    Some Cobb engine dress up installed today (+Cobb Intercooler)

    I installed the Cobb radiator shroud, overflow tank cover, and the snorkel bracket on the new Gen3 this evening. This is mostly just engine dress up, although the snorkel bracket does prevent a potential air restriction issue. Pretty simple install that took under an hour in total. Here is...

    Where exactly are all of the 18 speakers in the B&O unleased system located in the Gen3?

    I've had my Gen3 for less than a week so I haven't spent too much time searching, but I am not counting 18 speakers in this truck. Is there a list of where all the speakers are located? From what I understand there are speakers in the front headrests but I'll be damned if I can hear any sound...

    Black border around the truck graphic on the 360 camera system on my new Gen3

    I traded my 2017 for a 2022 this morning and the first thing I notice is that the top down 360 camera image has a much more prominent black border around the truck graphic. On my Gen2 I could easily see the parking space lines all around my vehicle when I pull into a parking space, but on the...

    I just traded the 2017 Gen2 for a 2022 Gen3

    I had a great run in the 2017 Ruby Red but after 67,000 miles and discovering that the cam phaser rattle was back and I had a leaky oil pan, I decided to just trade rather than repair those items out of warranty. This morning I made a deal on a 2022 with 1800 miles on it and traded the 2017. I...

    Does this sound like cam phaser rattle?

    I know this topic has been beat to death, but I would like some confirmation if this seems like cam phaser rattle. I have a 2017 and I took it to the dealer in Aug of 21 to perform the cam phaser repair with new parts. That was at around 50K miles and I now have 65K miles and this is what I hear...

    Has Ford corrected the Cam Phaser rattle in Gen3?

    I had the cam phaser repair done at 50K miles in my 2017. Now at 65K miles, and out of warranty, it is back. I also have a leaky plastic oil pan. I am considering upgrading to a Gen3. Has Ford finally corrected the cam phaser issue in the Gen3? Any new issues to look out for with the Gen3?

    Is this a good deal for a 2022 with 120 miles?

    I'm thinking about replacing my 2017 with a Gen3. I see that a local dealer has a 2022 trade-in with 120 miles on it. They are asking $83,988. When I build a 2023 online and add spray in bed-liner and folding tonneau cover (the only options I am interested in) it comes to around $80K, but that...

    Has anyone tapped into power for mirror on a Gen2 w/Lane Keeping Assist?

    I see that Dongar has an adapter that is "Coming Soon" and I assume this is the one I would need for my 2017 w/Lane Keeping Assist (there is no exposed 16-pin plug on the back of my mirror). I'm not sure where this plug even is. Is it under that cover on the windshield behind the mirror? I'm...

    Dyno comparison results for my 2017 stock tune vs MPT PR-X 93 tune

    My 2017 has 62K miles on it and I finally decided to get a tune. My transmission has been doing the "bump" when I place it in D for awhile. I took it in to Ford service about a year ago for the same issue and they reflashed the transmission and it cleared it up, but it came back recently. I...

    Someone scratched up the corner of my rear bumper. Can I just buy a new end cap?

    A friend of my neighbor across from me back into my 2017 the other day. Luckily there is no damage to the body panels, but she did put a slight scratch on my tail light and scratched up the driver side end cap. The local body shop can't even give me an estimate unless I go online and wait a few...

    Has anyone else experienced a loose drivers-side door panel that pops in and out?

    My 2017 has developed what I would call a "loose" door panel. I tend to rest my left arm on the panel's arm rest when I first noticed that it tends to pop in and out with an audible sound if I push on it. Has anyone else run into this? I am hoping it could be repaired by replacing some plastic...

    Add wireless Carplay to Gen2 Raptor for $85.00

    This may have already been discussed before, but I picked up this wireless Carplay adapter on Amazon for $85.00 and it works perfectly in my 2017 Raptor. I did have an issue with connection at first, but followed the instructions to update the firmware, and that fixed the issue. From the time I...

    OEM Wheel Opening Molding (plastic fender flares) - do they come painted?

    My passenger side rear fender flare has got some pretty deep gouges in it and I want to either repair or replace it. I found the part at Tasca for $300 but was wondering if these come painted. Has anyone ever bought an OEM replacement and can tell me? From what I can tell, all Raptors come with...

    Original Raptor Gen1 Wheels - what are they worth?

    I sold my Gen1 years ago and these wheels have been in my warehouse even longer. I swapped out the OEM wheels for Fuel's shortly after I bought the truck. I want to sell them if I can. Any idea what they are worth and what type of buyer may want them?

    GEN 2 Installed the BakFlip MX4 this morning (pics)

    I installed the BakFlip MX4 this morning. It would definitely be easier to install with a helper, but quite doable by yourself in under an hour, as I found out this morning. I had a BakFlip F1 on my GEN 1, so I like the fact that I can close the tailgate on the MX4 when it's completely closed...

    I started the mods on my new 2017 Ruby Red Supercrew!

    I brought this beauty home last Wednesday. I figured it had been stock long enough - time to start modding it! First thing that UAW sticker had to go. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for American workers but I'm pretty OCD and I don't like unnecessary stickers on my windshield. So a minute with...

    FordRaptorForum profile isn't aware of the 2017 model!

    I just bought a 2017 Raptor to replace my 2011, and I was excited to add it to my profile, but apparently THE Ford Raptor Forum hasn't yet been updated for the 2017 model. I'm stunned!

    Is the Tailgate Applique a dealer-installable part?

    Sorry if this has already been posted, but haven't been on the site in a LONG time but about to pull the trigger on a 2017 now. I found one I like, but it does not have the tailgate applique and I want one. Can this be added later or does it have to come from the factory?

    2009-2014 Fuel Door repair (permanent and inexpensive)

    There are many threads and videos on this repair but I thought I would throw my experience and info out there as someone may find it useful. It is a common problem for the fuel door on your F150 to become loose and flop around. The problem is usually caused by the hinge pin coming part of the...

    New Fuel Trophys on my silver 2011

    Just wanted to share a few pics of my new Fuel Trophy wheels on stock tires. I also have a new black tip Corsa sport exhaust and a mid perch adjustment. Props out to Raptor Performance Group for all the installation! (sorry for the overexposed iphone pics)

    I mounted a 41.5" Inspired Engineering LED light bar behind the grill

    After mounting Rigid duallys in the front bumper and Rigid SR-Q flush mounts in the rear bumper, I really wanted the large light bar for the upper grill but I just couldn't justify the price of the 40" bar from Rigid. A friend recommended Inspired Engineering lights and I purchased a 41.5"...
