    Floor jack for Raptor suggestion

    buy a bag of hockey pucks for cheap and stack them, works even better than wood blocks, they don't crush and they don't scratch and they fit perfectly on the jack.

    17 Shelby Raptor Sold at Dealership

    that's not true at all. a gt-r is an amazing deal for the money and so is a gt350. they are built that way at the factory and if you can get one for sticker they are a steal for the engineered performance that you get. good luck building something from a 5.0 mustang that matches the all-around...

    Overheating at 500 miles need help

    sheesh, these aren't jets or military systems, they are one-in-a-bazillion f-150s with a few differences. there is absolutely no correlation or comparison between the two. this truck should be pretty bullet proof and reliable. it is really sad and concerning to see people having these types of...

    Delivered w/ Scratches?

    ask them to try and buff it out before you sign. might just be in the clear. personally, unless it is major and very noticeable (which doesn't look like it from the pic), getting paint work done is not worth it and runs the risk of being worse than before.

    Help! Console swallowed rappy graphics!

    something similar, i.e long sticker with the backing on and one corner exposed that you can use to stick to the existing on just enough to pull it out?

    Factory Damage to Brand New 2017 Raptor

    this kind of stuff just makes my stomach churn. just more evidence of why dealerships have such a bad reputation in general. i guess they had a guy in the detail dept. that had a wagner spray gun at home. glad you are working towards a reasonable resolution. there are a lot of people on here...

    GEN 2 '17 Shelby Baja Raptor | 525HP

    that is called major dealer rip-off. the adm on that is probably 100K, absolutely ridiculous. complete and utter waste of money IMO.

    Wtf is this?

    i highly doubt this idiot light will do anything to prevent people from falling asleep. it will just annoy them and everyone will disable it. now, if there was a camera watching the driver and it noticed you dozing off and vibrated the steering wheel, THAT might actually be useful. but hey...

    Wtf is this?

    that's gotta be the dumbest sh** i've ever seen. some of the "tech" is just ridiculous and annoying. honestly, who comes up with this crap?

    GEN 2 Remove your locks or lose you stuff

    if they can see it and they want it, they're gonna get it. been there...usually it's just smash the glass, grab and go. nothing, no security system is going to prevent theft that way. no alarm will matter, they're gone before anyone even turns around. bottom line, never ever have anything of...

    To Sell or Keep?

    yeah but you've gotta keep your car/truck forever to get any value out of it. and when/if they do come back in value depends on a ton of factors, rarety is just one of them and not in any way guaranteed to deliver high value. anything produced by car and driver on future value is a wild guess at...

    Power washer??

    Agree with the power cord, however for me that is very minor. Much (if not most) durability problems are related to water hardness. Soft water does amazing things to improve longevity of basically every water-based appliance in your household. THAT is where you should spend your money IMO. Mine...

    Power washer??

    as a non-commercial user, i care more about ease of use than durability. here is my advice: - get one with a hose reel and a high-quality flexible hose of at least 30 feet (avoid those cheap, super stiff shiny pvc ones). if the hose sucks or is too short, make sure you can replace it (some...

    Markup hell?!?! Just me???

    how about the bed configuration, lights, wiring harnesses, transmission, the cab in general, paint, dash, steering wheel, engine compartment, steering, condenser, a/c compressor. tons of stuff is the same (or very similar to) a base f-150. that's why it's an f-150 raptor and it's part of all the...

    Markup hell?!?! Just me???

    glad you pointed out that this is a FORD problem. this level of ridiculousness is mainly with ford, their allocation system and the way they handle their dealer network. granted, the law does protect dealers to a point, but ford can work around it just like many other makes do. i gave up, i...

    No ADM dealer in SC

    you mean diffuser/splitter? it comes with one from the factory, i'm confused. why would they need to install it?

    Transmission Failure

    when they really have no clue what is wrong, which seems to clearly be the case, they are just guessing/hoping that a bunch of smaller/cheaper parts will fix it. when they don't, ultimately, it DOES cost ford more money and it's a major hassle for the owner. my point is that cost seems to be the...

    Brand New old Raptor!

    wow, interesting. personally, i wouldn't want a used vehicle that has sat that much. it is very hard to keep a car in brand new condition when basically never being driven. i would much rather find one that was near perfect with 4-5K on it.

    Transmission Failure

    it's the classic "throw cheap parts at it until lemon law threat". ford is trying to save money, period. they apparently don't give 2 sh*ts about their customers. it's really too bad. i feel for these owners having major problems, and if i was in their shoes i'd be going and buying something...

    Resurection!! Bringing a totaled Raptor back from the dead!

    wow, this thread is incredible. the amount of knowledge, dedication and labor to get this done is highly respectable. sounds like you are getting down to the details which can be the most time consuming and frustrating with newer, fully computer-controlled vehicles. it will be awesome to see...
