    Best AT tire for wet and dry road handling?

    I don't want to beat a dead horse but this situation may be a little unique . I have a 14 Raptor that spends 95% of its time on blacktop. About half of that is on wet pavement. However when on dry it is driven rather aggressively. Very aggressively. I've cooked through the original KO's in 17k...

    What happened to the Special Edition Raptors?

    I currently have a '14 Raptor with ruby red metallic paint and the two tone black and red interior. I love the truck but I'd prefer to move to a turbo V6 over the V8. Over the last 3k miles I've averaged exactly 10.0 mpg. And with Nashville roads getting shittier every day, the Raptor is...

    Sweet baby Jesus, I will never drive though mud again

    Went to Wooly's in TN. I played follow the leader behind a guy who takes his old Dakota there all the time. I'd watch him drive up a hill carefully avoiding deeper ruts, rocks etc. Then I'd go up slowly, get impatient and haul ass up to the top. First time I've had it off road and it kicks...

    Interesting traffic stop, 75 in a 40? I don't think so

    Got pulled over today. We were leaving my son's soccer game and I turned right at a stop light and, with a straight road and no cars in front of me, I stepped on the gas hard but NOT to the floor. I was in 2nd gear when I did so. I made it about 1000 ft (I guaged it on a map) when an oncoming...

    Cleaned up the pain this weekend

    When I bought it with 6k miles the truck was covered in fine swirls. Not aweful, but in the sun it definitely reduced the depth of the paint. So the plan was to polish them down and wax it. Well, turns out, once I started getting the surface swirls out the deeper scratches all became...

    How the heck do I get a flashlight out of here??

    I was using a 1" diameter LED to examine swirls/scratched and I had it sitting on the wiper cowl. When I moved a rag it lined itself up beautifully and slid down along the fender, right into that gap where the fender is bolted on under the hood. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to...

    Rigid reverse D2 Wide, diffused or SRQ

    I've searched and looked at a lot of threads but none really address the comparison well. I've seen a number of comments by people with non-diffused lights that think diffused might be better. I won't use these much on a daily basis but it would be nice to have a general purpose light when out...

    Nashville people

    Anyone know a good muffler shop in the Nashville or Brentwood area that is open on weekends? The only one's I know of are the Midas chain stores. My Corsa cat back is sitting in my family room and I'm itching to get it on the truck. Also, when are we all going to get together and run over...

    Has anybody changed the blue console lights?

    I've searched for this and come up empty. Perhaps I'm not using the right terms. I'd like to change the blue lights in the center console to red or amber. Has anybody tried this?

    How "smooth" is a Raptor really supposed to be?

    I'm going to apologize in advance for this. It is not only a newb Raptor question but perhaps even a newb truck question. I've heard from many that the Raptor is unusually smooth on regular roads thanks to it's suspension. Well, it seems about the same as a regular F-150 to me. I guess I...

    Proud new Nashville Raptor owner

    I've wanted an F-150 for years and always used to borrow my neighbor's truck when I lived in NC. With the 2015's hitting the lots I went to look at one and accidentally traded in my M3 on this, my new daily driver. I used to worry about speed bumps. I don't care about those anymore but I...
