    Ordering without an Allocation is a waste of time....

    So, I did some calling around and do have a Hummer reserved but I thought I could easily trade my Gen 2 for a Gen 3 at MSRP. Wrong, if your dealer doesn't have an allocation to give you then you will NOT be getting a Gen 3. They can or will order it for you on your choice but I called my local...

    GEN 2 Cam Phase Fix via oil pressure?

    I know there are many threads on this but I tried it and it works. I saw probably an famous youtube video on this. If you hold the brake and gas down together to long start the truck and then watch the oil pressure. As it builds pressure lift off the gas and start the truck. Like magic no cold...

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    There is a poll attached but given the choice of the Raptor or Bronco, which would you pick and why? I am not going to lie, the new Bronco is very nice has lots of cool features is almost the size of the F150 cab. I am a previous Jeep owner and the Bronco is bigger than the Jeep. Wife won't...

    GEN 2 Harsh shifting in sport mode and rear gear noise when back up

    I have noticed some weird hard harsh shifts when is sport mode that they kind of kick hard. I am not sure if it is normal or needs an updated shift program. I have also started noticing a rear back up noise which all my manual vehicles I have owned make. Not sure if the whine I hear is normal or...

    GEN 2 Another Sync update thread v3 for 2018s

    Okay so I updated the sync system on my truck to the latest version v3.20204 and now have the Raptor welcome screen on entry and exit. I am wondering what else is in this update that I should be aware of. I also ordered the updated maps for the truck as it was 40 bucks and came with the USB...

    GEN 2 First long interstate road trip

    Just some observations on the Raptor as a long 3 hour trip on the interstate. They have increased the speeds on our interstates to 80 mph. Is it me or does everyone on the interstate try to race you in a Raptor? I realize the factory cut off is 110 but I have never seen so many people either...

    GEN 2 Ford Factory F150 Raptor beadlocks

    Hello, I am wondering if you have to remove the factory bead rings before you replace the tires? They look pretty thick and they could be damaged from the wheel machines if not removed? Are they hard to remove and do the torx screws have thread lock on them. thank you

    GEN 2 What is the cut off date for model year???

    I have a late production oct 2018 Rqptor sold as a 2018, however I noticed some late 18s are actually 2019 model years, I am confused as to what ford did to differentiate a 2018 model year truck from a 2019 when they could have been made in the same month. For example, October or November

    GEN 2 I am back to the Raptor world

    To make a long story short, I am back into a Raptor after a brief stint with a diesel F150. Picked up a Lead Foot SCREW with the bead lock wheels and the carbon pack..... Still not impressed with the sound of the turbo v6 but it is a sweet ride and made me miss my Gen 1 so now I am back into...

    FS: 2010-2014 SCAB OEM FOX SHOCKS

    I have a set of OEM lightly used fox shocks which could use a nitro check since they have been sitting for so long in original Fox box. Since these new are 2 grand plus or minus a hundred. I traded in the Raptor on a new Powerstroke F150 I can do a grand but can not afford to eat 250 bucks for...

    SOLD: 2011 Ford Raptor SCAB Flame Blue

    It is time to part with my 2011 Ford Raptor -- I have had this truck for almost 4 years and have driven it almost everyday. I acquired it with 58 thousand miles and it now reads 133,500 mostly highway miles since I do use it for work. It has been miraculously maintained and everything works on...

    GEN 1 Weird knocking noise from drivers front

    Alright I sure this is nothing new to Raptor owners or F150 owners in general but I have a knocking noise coming from my drivers side front. It does not do it all the times, only in repeated rough terrain where the suspension on both sides get a work out. I replaced the sway bar bushings since...

    GEN 1 I expect Gen 1 Raptors to hold their value or maybe even tick up with the new Raptor

    release I do not see the values in the 6.2 liters dropping or decreasing my much. If anything there demand will increase with the release of the turbo Raptor and its 10 speed GM/ Ford sourced transmission. It may make more turbo HP but it will suffer some off road durability.

    GEN 1 Does it bother anyone that the front end is plastic

    composite material, I have been able to tell on every Raptor I have seen that the front is plastic and the paint on those panels doesn't quite match the paint that put on the metal. Plastic components are different so the composite material they used holds paint different then the metal pieces...

    Rear diff not locking up after fluid change

    I had my Raptor off road for the first time since having the rear diff fluid change and when I engaged it in reverse the rear wheel locks would not engage and it made a weird sound for a few seconds. I actually got stuck in mud something funny for a Raptor but the rear diff would not lock up. It...

    What do you all consider to be real Raptors?

    As we all know the 2010s did not have the MFD and computer stuff a 6.2 liter motor was a late entry and the 2010 is really not even on the models list on the front of this page. Actually one of the reasons I ended up with a 2011 and not a 2010 was because of this very forum. What all do...

    Blower Motor not blowing or only 1 speed

    This is a common problem for F150s, It turns out that it is a 60 dollar resistor in the blower motor itself. Takes literally 15 minutes to replace, and you will have full blower motor control back. behind the glove box is a little two 8 mm self tapping screws holding in a solid state 3 fin...

    New 2011 Flame blue owner scab in AR

    Bought a new to me but nicely used 2011 SCAB in blue flame. Has every feature that you can get including the power tonneau cover which I can not figure out how to operate so if any of you could help the newbie out it would be appreciated. I am thinking it operates off a rely but do not know.
