    Is the truck still available? Do you have the original MSRP? Any paint/body work? Just sold my TRX which I bought after exiting my G2 2017 Raptor. Jumping back into the pool while I wait for a G3 to be build sometime late spring/fall next year. I'm interested but given recent market sales...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    This is probably a spot on assessment on why I needed FoMoCo approval for the loaner. I received word that I'm good to go with the loaner. SA also indicated it's a long block replacement but the block is backordered. "Hopefully we aren't talking months until this is resolved." I have not...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    Solid feedback...Appreciate you taking the time to weigh in. I had the impression from my SA that the replacement is a long block but he actually didn't specify so that's a great point to clarify. As I had planned to keep my truck for another 4-6 year a long block replacement is a good thing...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    I think this advice holds true with all sorts of conflict resolution. I'm a patient consumer and loyal Raptor owner. I won't toss the lawyer comment out unless i've hit the brick wall with a few VP's that are authorized to say both yes and no. Don't ever take no from someone who's not...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    Thanks for the engine condolences. I was a October 2016 order and delivery in March 2017. I bought at MSRP (I think $72K and change.) The truck is paid for so my primary pain point is the loss of use. I have another vehicle but it has pirelli summer performance tires = not practical during...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    Great advice as I didn't think about putting a performance clause in the repair request. Having lost the use of the truck for almost a month already with no estimate of when a replacement engine will land, isn't a great start. I would probably time bound the sourcing of the engine as the...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    I hear you on #1. Venting....Of course it'd be great if I didn't have to wait on the 1-800 to ask for approval. Customer Experience suggestion: include the authorization for a loaner on the same request the dealer sends in authorizing the engine replacement. Seems a little more efficient...

    2017 Engine Replacement

    All, some unlucky news here on my end. My '17 Screw with 22K miles went into limp mode on the way to work in early december and I just got the news that the ford hotline approved an engine replacement. long story short: Trucks been babied and no engine mods since new. Apparently the timing...

    GEN 2 Stock Tire Replacement Suggestions +1 sized

    Agree with you guys. 35x12.5 ends up at the same height yet slightly skinner width. IMO 37x13.5 would get the increased width if prefer but I’m not ready to make the mods to accommodate the increased width. Looks like stock 315/70 nitto grapplers may be the best path forward to avoid adding...

    GEN 2 Stock Tire Replacement Suggestions +1 sized

    Yeah that was an overzealous keyboard adding in 33 prior to the real target of the discussion. 35 or 37's. Good gut check and my bad.

    Will or won't work post trimming. I think if I read your quote correctly you meant to say, 'once trimmed well work!'

    GEN 2 Stock Tire Replacement Suggestions +1 sized

    Solid feedback (and thank you to everyone else that has posted). So you went with the 35x12.50R17LT That was the one I was keeping an eye on as well. Anyone else try 35's ?

    GEN 2 Stock Tire Replacement Suggestions +1 sized

    Good question. As the stocks are 315/70/17 I’m not actually sure how far I can go without having to resolve clearance issues. 33, 35,37 could all be in play if I don’t have to modify the truck for fitment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    GEN 2 Stock Tire Replacement Suggestions +1 sized

    Time to put some new shoes on my 17. I have 17” race lines and my stock KO2 with 20k miles. I have 1” RPG collars up front as a leveling lift and was leaning towards plus one sized Nitto Grapplers. I’m in Boston so 95% pavement and 5% off-road in the summer in both Maine and NH. Curious...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    Swapped out the front tweeters and center speaker. Highs are definitely more vibrant. I’m still a bit frustrated Ford is installing Chinese speakers in our Sony systems (I have a ‘17.) At least the pioneers are from Vietnam [emoji3] Sub and doors to be installed this weekend time...

    GEN 2 107 MPH Speed limiter

    I don’t really want to wade into this discussion, but I do believe there’s a point to be made with the referenced racing of a van around one of the most famous race tracks. I would be curious to see what she could do with a raptor...enjoy the video. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Installed a ADD Honey badger rear bumper. All went well until one of the final steps and the cable for the factory brake controller / trailer seems to be about 4” too short. Perhaps the boys at the factory on build day needed to save some cable and I’m the unlucky one. I haven’t take the...

    GEN 2 107 MPH Speed limiter

    Remember this thread was about a speed limiter removal. In closing, I’ll agree with you that if I’m driving my RS7 or my Raptor, the RS7 wins on pavement all day every day. The point you’re overlooking is not all drivers of your average mainstream Audi, BMW or MBZ sports sedan are nearly as...

    GEN 2 107 MPH Speed limiter

    Funny. From my perspective someone who bought a raptor can’t make the “wrong decision” As far as curves clearly you haven’t ridden with me.

    GEN 2 107 MPH Speed limiter

    Okay all fair points. I do get annoyed with my Gen2 Raptor laying the smack down on unsuspecting German metal and Japanese burners only to get caught 1/2 mile down the road when i'm bouncing off the rev limiter at 105/107. I know it's on offroad truck but it's a sport truck as well. I don't...
