    Gen 1 - Lonnnng term maintenance, when to replace engine.

    I have a Gen 1 and Gen 2 Raptor. The Gen 1 was the best vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned a lot so I bought another. I bought the 2011 fairly clean in 2016 with 88k miles and a T-bone accident on its record and repainted/repaired driver side doors and B pillar. You can't notice the...

    Changing my mind, from upgrading my Raptor to just having two. Long Term Maintenance Questions

    I bought my 2011 with 88k miles for $33,500. It has proven very robust and reliable. I've done the following maintenance and nothing more. Oil when the computer says under 20%, motorcraft semi-synthetic and motorcraft filters. Two shock rebuilds by Forged Brakes one time at 140k miles, OEM...

    2011 won't start, cranks fast, intermittent

    I've put about 5000 miles on my raptor, it has 85k now. After some off-roading with a little water splashing up into the engine bay, at a gas station the truck cranked for about 4-5 seconds without starting. Weird, but on the second try it just fired right up. A week later, again right...

    2011 White SCREW in Utah

    Finally took the plunge. Bought a 2011 SCREW. We started seriously considering buying one last July, and have been strategizing since. I drove about 8 of them, looked at about 10, and got pretty fed-up with the dealer market around SLC, UT. They were either in reasonable condition with...
