    Is there a way to wire 12VDC always on through an aux switch (for "master override" to turn off)?

    I'm just generally curious, but I have two different use cases. One is for a dashcam that can go into "sentry mode" while stationary and I'd like to keep it powered 24x7x365 by default (it's on the OEM hardwire kit that automatically cuts off at some specific voltage so it won't actually kill...

    GEN 2 Just found an old "Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power" warning... how much do I care?

    I don't really use the mobile app very much and I opened it for the first time in a few months to remotely check my fuel level just now only to discover a few month old message "Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power." I didn't notice anything wrong at the time. I looked in my calendar and see...

    Any way to get mileage over time from the truck or "the cloud"?

    I'm a low mileage driver. I'm looking back at my maintenance records (sparse because my truck is flawless so it's just routine fluids, basically) and I'm wondering, is there a way to get my miles driven "per time period" out of the truck or out of the Ford cloud systems somehow? Like, maybe I...

    Simple: recommended oil and filter for Gen2?

    SoCal mild weather. Light driving, mostly street queen. What's the go-to recommendation for oil and a filter? I'm finding it shockingly hard to get a simple answer (is it "5w-30, full synthetic, any brand you like, whatever filter fits"?). 16k miles in my case (so broken in), this will be third...

    Hiss, pop, bubbling at night underneath

    2019 Gen 2 bought new in Feb of 2020. Has about 7k very light pandy-street-queen miles so far. Essentially a flawless 802A vehicle where I did my first major service about 2 months ago. I've always noticed a slippy trans, but I think that's correlated with cold drivetrain and relatively normal...

    Disable inflatable belt for usage with car seats?

    Is there a way to disable the inflatable belt so it can be used with car seats? I specifically want to do a Cybex Sirona S (wifey chose that one), and Cybex themselves haven't approved for usage with this new kind of belt. Unfortunately, I'm having a very hard time finding recent manufacturer...

    Sunroof in a single push?

    Is there a way to scroll back the shade (leaving the glass) all the way back with a single button? Maybe a double or triple-click action? It's super annoying to have to wait then push it again to go the second half. What about the glass, too? Wouldn't it be neat to push a single button to...

    How to control heated steering wheel with CarPlay active?

    As far as I can tell the only way to manually control the steering wheel heater is through the traditional Sync UI, which gets clobbered as soon as I plug my iPhone in. It seems to me that the only way to manually control my heater is to completely unplug my phone so the Sync system comes...

    Slow shifts / skip gears with casual city driving?

    I've noticed something odd that's a bit hard to describe and I'm trying to determine if it's a problem or not: with casual / average acceleration off a stoplight sometimes the truck has a jerk somewhere in the 5 - 20 mph range. When it happens I look down and I think I'm seeing it shift to 4th...

    California E85 on Stock Gen2 (is it a FFV)?

    I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out if the Gen2 system is naturally a Flex Fuel vehicle (FFV). If so, are there any benefits/downsides of running E85?

    GEN 2 Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto on Sync 3.4?

    Dumb question I can’t seem to figure out: does wireless CarPlay work with the OEM 3.4 update (specifically on a 2019 802a if it matters). Thx

    GEN 2 802a Upgrade Side Mirrors to Convex?

    From what I can tell Ford deletes the convex mirror component on Raptors and F150s that have BLIS. I’m not sure about the feature permutations when it comes to cameras, heater, folding, and the convex glass part. I’m curious if I can easily mod for some convex glass that’s separately adjustable...

    Stowable and lockable bed extender?

    Just wondering if the unicorn of bed extenders exists - here's my perfect set of features (in no particular order): Stowable or foldable to the side of the bed (much like OEM ramps) Lockable when stowed (cable lock is fine, but a neat built in Box Link jobbie or something would be cool) Usable...

    GEN 2 Official Sync updates for 2019 Raptor 802A?

    I seem to still be on Sync 3.3 and I'm under the impression that at some point Ford intends to officially allow all relevant 2019 Raptors to get a 3.4 update, of course, that may be incorrect. Has anyone here received an official update on their 2019? If not, do we have any *official* word on...

    GEN 2 Aluminum rolling cover - Syneticusa?

    Anyone tried the Syneticusa brand Aluminum Retractable Low Profile Tonneau Cover? It's real cost effective for a rolling cover - essentially $700 for my SCREW.

    Ford Pass: export more data about a journey?

    I'm new to the app and I'm happy with all the tracking it does. I was clipped last night by what turned out to be a very drunk driver going the wrong way down a city street. Minor damage to the very back corner of my driver's side bed and edge of the bumper - that's not important here. What is...

    Protective wrap recommendations in Los Angeles area

    I'm looking to get a full wrap for longer term protection. Any recommendations for good places in LA? Pros and cons (should I just get Xpel... that seems popular)? I want the protection and don't plan to change the color. If it doesn't change the cost I'll probably do satin or matte.

    Best window tints? Precut vs generic?

    I'm curious if anyone has tried any precut window tint kits. I found https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GHNMFLZ/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 and it seems nice enough... I can't quite tell if it will properly sit just below the window trim felt or not, though.

    GEN 2 Ford Pass vehicle location during a tow?

    My 2019 Raptor (already sync'd w/my account) is being transported cross country. I've noticed that the vehicle location feature still incorrectly names the location where I helped load it onto the auto transport even though the truck is half way across the country now. Interestingly, when I view...

    Always On Interior Power (AC or DC)?

    I'm a new key-carrying member here (as of a few hours ago) woot! I'm upgrading from a Titan which had two 12VDC (standard) power sockets in the main dashboard just below the radio. One of them is switched with vehicle power and the other one is 24x7x365 (it is fused but runs direct to the...

    Any West LA Gen2 willing to come do a garage test fit in Santa Monica?

    I'll buy you some beers or lunch! I'm trying to get the local dealer to come by too, but I haven't had any luck yet. I have an underground garage in my complex and I already park a truck w/2" lift, but from what I can tell the Raptor profiles just a touch taller so I want to see it in action...

    Mechanical drawing of Raptor Gen 2 SCREW?

    I'm looking to calculate if a Gen 2 SCREW will clear under some garage door equipment for an underground lot. Unfortunately "just test one" isn't an option, but doing the math from a mechanical side drawing shouldn't be too hard if I can get the measurements! There's a Nissan Titan SCAB (with a...

    GEN 2 Wrap and Spray-in bed liner... which first?

    I'm convinced (from other posts here in the forums) that aftermarket spray-in liners are better than the factory one, thus I'm going to try to buy a raw bed and do a Line-X. I'm also planning to wrap my truck, mostly for paint protection longevity reasons... my current ride has a million brush...
