    Never owned a wide truck....how do you handle this type of parking lot?

    The width of the Raptor has me a bit concerned. Just yesterday, I parked in a surface lot that had an exit that looked like the pic below. You had to insert your parking ticket and pay, but it was very narrow space! What happens when you are in a Raptor and end up in this situation? It...

    GEN 2 Any leads on allocations or available SCREW much appreciated!

    A lot of dealers will list them on the site at MSRP, but when you call, they say "but there's an additional 6500 markup..." :(

    Is the Raptor steering ratio (# of turns) same as regular F150?

    One thing I do not like about the regular F150 is that the steering is VERY slow, meaning that you have to turn the wheel through a much greater angle to get the same directional change as in a car with quicker steering. It makes the F150 feel very lethargic. Is the Raptor steering any...

    Did Ford remove BOTH sets of crash bars or just the front ones?

    Ford has crash bars both in front of AND behind the front wheel on the normal F150. Based on pics from this forum, they removed the front bars. What what about the back bars? Are they also missing? I'm talking about the color-coded pieces on this image:
