    2300 Miles and OIL everywhere

    I also have a small portion on the passenger side front of the wheel well where its not welded properly. You can see daylight through it.

    California emissions

    Dealer where you buy it will charge you the sales tax for the state and county you live in. You don't pay it in both states.

    Question on drive modes

    I have a quick question that I can't find the answer to in the owners manual. I assume it is ok to switch between drive modes while the vehicle is moving. I would assume if you were driving down the road a a speed that was too fast it wouldn't allow the truck to go into baja or the rock crawler...

    Transmission problem

    I get what your saying but Ford says nothing to you about breaking in the transmission. Most people aren't going to go crazy on their new truck but I guarantee you everyone is going to put it in the different drive modes and make sure it will do the 107 mph lol. If the truck won't handle this I...

    Transmission problem

    I feel bad for you. It just seems that on situations like these it should get escalated to the top team much quicker. Most of us are reasonable enough that if someone is in contact with us assuring us that we will be taken care of we will be more understanding. After a few attempts to fix the...

    Transmission problem

    Truck came home last night with a new transmission in it. It is quite a bit smoother shifting now then it was on my way home from Colorado which makes me more confident that this one will last. I finally had a chance this morning to play around with the different drive modes. So far really...

    For those who hate big wheels!!

    I think it looks great. I agree there isn't enough clearance. The stock Raptors are beautiful but they all look the same. It's nice to see a little different look.

    Transmission problem

    Well they have had the truck since Feb 11th and the new transmission is supposed to be at the dealership tomorrow. It took a long time to get it moving in the right direction but the gal in charge of this in Dearborn Michigan is doing a great job. If all goes well the Raptor will be headed home...

    Did research and made calls....

    I called dealers all over the country. Called probably 20 per day from cars.com, ebay, dealers around the net. I probably talked to 80 dealers who all laughed at me at msrp. Found one in Pennsylvania for 2k over. Ended up buying one in Colorado for $4500 since I could drive there and trade mine...

    GEN 2 Towing an RV

    I live in Walla Walla Wa and I've called dealers all over the Northwest and have yet to find one of these mythical MSRP deals. I had one ordered in Eugene at $4500 over. I cancelled it and bought one in Colorado for $4500 over. They may come down sooner than later but I'm sure not seeing it...

    My 2017 Shadow Black Raptor build by Eurotech Motorsports

    Krock I get that this isn't the style of build some guys would like but to say that is not a beautiful truck is just crazy. The work on that looks fantastic. I can't begin to imagine how much money you have into that truck but I'm sure you love everything that has been done to it. Drive that...

    GEN 2 CA Emissions Issues

    If they are all built the same why doesn't ford just list California emissions on every window sticker? It's a free option. Makes no sense to me.

    Transmission problem

    What a joke and I'm so sorry you are having problems to. I think we all understand things can happen but Ford has a responsibility to get you back on the road and take your tranny back to Dearborn and go at it on their own time. You get so excited to get your truck and then this really just...

    Transmission problem

    So the day started off a little rocky when the servicing dealership called me and they want their van back tomorrow. They said it was my job to fight Ford for a rental car. They are going to drive down 4 of the 5 hours they are away from me to pick it up. I've got to drive an hour but so be it...

    Transmission problem

    I finally reached my breaking point today and sent Ford a ugly Facebook post on the Ford Performance Facebook page. My truck has now been in Mountain Home Idaho sitting there for 10 days. The service manager seems to be doing what he can but the Corporate head quarters are just ridiculous...

    Transmission problem

    Well the shit show continues. Ford has sent the pictures of the metal in the pan to an engineer who works on the transmissions. He has to be the one to allow the dealer to order a new transmission. The service manager who has my truck is doing all he can do. I told him today I would accept...

    Transmission problem

    Unfortunately Ford asked them to send pictures of what was in the pan. They can't order until Ford ok's it. Hopefully just a formality. They are replacing the cooler also. The transmission is back ordered right now. They are trying to get the regional rep involved to fast track one. No telling...

    Transmission problem

    Just heard from the service technician. They removed the pan and found metal shavings. They are ordering a new transmission today once ford approves it. He thought he could get one fairly quickly but we will see what fairly quickly really means. At least now I won't have to worry all the time it...

    Transmission problem

    Well they have had the truck since Saturday afternoon. Didn't get to it on Monday so really started working on it yesterday. They filled the transmission fluid back up which was about a quart low and power washed the bottom of the truck so they could see if any leaks were new. Unfortunately...

    FOR SALE: '17 at my local Ford dealer @5k over MSRP

    I'd really hold out for the beadlocks. When I saw them in person I was much happier than any picture I had seen them in. Tempting to drop them so you can get one built but be sure its what you want long term. Just my 2 cents.

    Transmission problem

    Oh it really happened[/ATTACH] I joke the shifter on the dash is to put it in Baja mode.

    Transmission problem

    That one heck of a story. It's frustrating but life will move on. I loved my 2011 Raptor and I'm sure I will this one as well. I didn't even get a chance to try the different driving modes yet. It's tough when you want to go check out something on the Raptor and you open the garage door to see...

    Transmission problem

    Feel fortunate you passed on it lol. They treated me well and have called to check on where we're at with it. Unfortunately the dealer where it's sitting hasn't even looked at it yet. Now tells me first thing in the morning. I can't tell you how depressing it is to drive a mini van.
