    Raptor R - Will you be buying this beast.

    No. I'm calling it what it is. This is a Gen 2.5, NOT a Gen-3. For the money I'd lose trading mine in for a 2021, I could do some amazing work on my Gen-2... The biggest mistake I made with my 2014 was getting rid of it once it was paid off. I just paid off my Gen-2. I will not repeat the...

    Single tire in bed for 4x4 use?

    I'm eventually going to put in a SDHQ chase rack, but I'm tapped out $$$ wise from the new purchase and the CV disaster. I have another spare mounted up and just want to be able to mount it in the back CHEAPLY for 4x4 runs, then take it back out for daily driving. Ideas? I know you guys have...

    How old are you?

    Nice to see that I'm not the only one farting dust here.

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    I escaped the trailer park at 17. Went in to the US Army, got out and have worked continuously since. Airline pilot now. I have worked for everything that I have. No daddy's money here.

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

    Well, this is my 3rd SCREW and 2nd Raptor. I just installed the Builtright seatback release. Yaaaay. Oh wait, there is no room for storage with the subwoofer and amp. Oh well, first world problems. I'd rather have the space under the back seat.

    No Raptor This Year?

    Awesome! I hit the same luck with the 2020. It was an updated version of my 2014 with the 802a, but a slightly different shade of blue. My neighbors kept looking at it for a WEEK wondering if anything was different before they realized it was new. I love it! ENJOY!!!

    No Raptor This Year?

    Agreed. Everything in "my area" has been MSRP + 10-20K though. It was nice to buy locally and get a deal.

    No Raptor This Year?

    Yes. Just like a 2020 is a newer model than a 2019. Worth paying "slightly more" for me. Thank you.

    No Raptor This Year?

    Prices are going back up y'all. Should have waited another month or two... Glad I bought my 2020 at slightly less than MSRP two months ago when the country was locked down. I'm loving this thing. I see myself being very happy until another V8 option comes out.

    2021 New Ford F150 Reveal

    Whew... Glad I got the 2020 Rappy. The 2021 has some cool features like the center console thing and lay flat seats, but the Raptor looks better and will still kick @$$.

    New Raptor Channel on YouTube (Gen2)

    Man that makes me miss my 2014 even more. That sound... The Gen2 is a better truck though. I just have to get used to that Subaru WRX exhaust sound.

    2021 New Ford F150 Reveal

    Only had my 2020 for barely a month and she's obsolete in one more day. Sigh. /sarcasm

    Who's happy with their cordless ratchet?

    Been eyeballing that Milwaukee 3/8 the last few weeks at Home Depot.. Daddy want.

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

    Dropped in a Husky bed mat so I don't tear up the liner hauling stuff. Almost as good as OEM and over $100 cheaper.

    Gen 2 is a classic and I will keep mine forever

    Hmmm... Classic??? OK, I absolutely LOVE my 2020 with every option available. That said... I MISS my late model 2014 which was one of the last 100 of the Gen1 to roll off the line. Not going to lie, I like driving my 2020 around town more, but I think the 2014 looks cooler, definitely SOUNDS...

    Bow down to TPMS Sensors

    Yup... Waaaaay back in 2010 with my Lariat 4x4 it saved me. I was literally pulling in for gas when it went off. Discount Tire was across the street.

    Great deals coming down the pike after the Apocalypse???

    The best deals have passed. Prices are going back up. Get in now or pay even more later.

    Question #5: Best deals? Time for Crazy to ---- or get off the pot!

    That. Prices are just going up from here. I snagged mine last month during the height of the Chinese Virus lockdown. I was the only customer in the dealer that afternoon. Got it for about 13K less than I could have two months earlier. What made the deal was them giving me TOP dollar for my trade...

    Gen 2 Purchase

    Window tint place says they won't warranty the moonroof though. Says it generates too much heat and might shatter glass. Any experience here folks?

    Gen 2 Purchase

    That. Every Rappy on the lot when I bought mine had the 802a and dual panel roof. They were offering great deals and it was "just what we have". The second I mentioned them finding one elsewhere, the price went back up 10K. They were liquidating inventory during the height of the lockdown. I...

    Pro tip for Raptor owners.......

    But it beats the alternative. Getting dilated sucks. My Dr. has the fancy machine too, but they all say the best way to really check you out is to look "old school". I'm going to have cataracts show up in the next 10-15 years.

    GEN 2 Baby's First Oil Change

    OK... My 2020 is coming up on 1000 miles. Oil life indicator still says 95%... So, be old school and change at 1000, or wait until the intelligent monitor tells me to??? I want to get-r-dirty now.
