Looks like Ford has instituted their stair step incentive for some (or all) of their vehicles. I received a call Monday night from a dealer and this was their offer on a 37 Package (non R):
- MSRP: $94,735
- $2K off MSRP (802A, Avalanche, spray-in liner, moonroof, hard tonneau cover)
- Fair...
Fellas - just sharing for feedback and perhaps some guidance.
My 2017 was a Dec 2016 build. Original owner, 74K miles. Daily driver, off road on the beach a few times a year. Oil life around 50%. Dealer only servicing. Overall, I'm pretty easy on the truck.
Scheduled regular maintenance with...
I realize ownership is fairly new with the 2023's but I'm still curious to know what are the common problems/issues/annoyances you guys are experiencing with your R's so far as we come to the close of 2023? I'm reading a lot about what is awesome which is great but what on the other side of...
Earlier in the year, I noticed inventory hovered around 50-80 units on cars.com for the first 6 or so months. In my last check this week, cars.com shows 136 units so inventory is up now but listing prices are still $30K+ on ADM. Anyone notice ADM's coming down recently in their hometowns...
I'm one of those guys looking at the Gen 3 and now the Gen 4 and thinking, "is it time to upgrade?". I've been successful in talking myself out of upgrading simply because the engine platform has relatively stayed the same albeit with upgraded suspension and other upgraded components to make the...
Was in Detroit yesterday for a meeting. Spent 20 mins on the road in the metro area and saw this on the highway. Couldn't grab a decent pic but looked like a Lightning with Raptor trim on the front end and off road tires. No other badging or trim that looked normal. Had factory stickers all over...
Threw up a poll to see where Gen 2 owners stand with Gen 3 and Raptor R or even T-Rex. My original thought was to keep my Gen2 since the Gen3 is keeping relatively the same platform but seeing that the Raptor R is in development... this is VERY intriguing to me.
Just installed the Rigid Radiance 360 Fogs and just noticed with the rear light pods that my driver-side tailpipe is an inch or two higher than the passenger side. My OCD went off but I think I'll be ok, lol. Wondering if anyone else noticed this and if it's by design due to some factor in the...
Looking for some help with my 2017 Gen2 from those in-the-know. I've had intermittent Sync 3 issues that are well documented and proliferated throughout Ford forums everywhere. For me, when I have my iPhone 11 Pro connected (which is on the latest Apple software), Sync 3 would randomly reboot...
36K miles in and it has been in and out of the dealer probably 4-5x in the last 3 months for various little annoyances like moonroof track repair, APIM module failure, check valve (IWE noise) replacement and probably another 3 or 4 TSB's that include a transmission flash for hard shifting. Now...
Anyone have this issue? My conversation with my local ford dealer service department:
Dealer Ford Service: "What are you doing to cause this?" (so to speak)
Me: I've been pressing the button as it the manual states, "one touch", the same way for 2 years and now it's not working.
Dealer: We...
Apparently, a common issue with F150's in general.
Front end grinding, noise due to vacuum hose/IWE connections. TSB available. Also have hard shifting on cold start which is another TSB. Had both done and my '17 Gen2 is driving much better. Did some digging and found this long thread at...
Started noticing this intermittently over the past couple of months. There was a recall on the airbag (I think) a while back and I'm wondering if the tech working on it made some adjustment to the steering column that resulted in this. It doesn't happen all the time but I'd say 50-60% of the...
Anyone use the box link's to mount a shovel? I'm looking for a drill-free solution to mount a shovel, 2x4 board, and tow-rope. Th priority is to have a 2-way mount if possible for the board and shovel. thanks for any help!
about 50% of the time my Sync3 system is not engaging Apple CarPlay when I connect my iPhone via usb. When I switch to Bluetooth audio I can hear the connection chime randomly as it keeps dropping and reconnecting but never engaging CarPlay. Anyone else having this issue? The Apple adapter cable...
I noticed that my passenger rear quarter panel trim is not 100% flush with the outside of the tire. The difference between the driver's side is about 1/4-1/2 inch. It's not very obvious and i'm having my dealer look at it to see if other Raptors have the same measurement. Maybe due to the gas...
Curious if anyone notices any slight 'give' or 'play' on the plastic trim around the wheel well? 3 of 4 panels are pretty tight but the rear-passenger side has a bit of play. It doesn't rattle during driving but you can press it just slightly and there is some play. I'll get over it but just...
I just rolled into the 5,000 mile mark on the ODO over the weekend. Some impressions after 5 months of ownership:
-No electrical, mechanical, engine, or other problems thus far.
-MPG's have been improving. Long highway drives in Normal mode have been giving me 16-17+ MPG. Pleasantly...
Took the plunge and had my Gen2 coated with Modesta. I'm really happy with the results thus far. I went to Reflections Auto Detailing by Johnathan Clark (Dover, Delaware). John's passion and knowledge with his process, products, and maintenance runs real deep. John did show me a few of the...
Interesting to read about all the nuances of this truck. I guess to be expected with 1st generation technology. Part of me thinks a 2-yr development cycle for this engine/trans would make it pretty rock solid but nothing is ever 100%... keep the comments coming fellas. Good stuff!
Curious of what ya'll think are the must-have accessories for your Gen2. I'm not talking about big mods here. I'm talking about stuff like mud flaps, cargo/bed storage boxes, etc. My initial thoughts are to get:
Must-haves:
- Tonneau cover with integrated rack
- ?
- ?
Optional:
- mud...
