    Is Cobb TCM worth it?

    Cobb here. Excellent upgrade to both reasonable safe power and in my case a much better tranny experience (my ‘17 was sketchy in that respect out of the factory). Lurching, hard and/or hanging shifts resolved with the Cobb. Also liked that it allows for the accelerator signal manipulation (not...

    Ford Bronco Raptor vs. RAPTOR

    This sounds like a wifey “Raptor” that will serve to keep her out of my real one. I could be wrong but I think it’s going to be an underwhelming trim upgrade for the most part but would hope to see better. I was not impressed with the Bronco we saw and drove though I wanted to be for my wife’s...

    Thoughts and Ramblings after a 2500 mile road trip

    Thanks for sharing! Great pictures and a fun looking trip in the “do it all” Raptor ! Never see myself without one.

    Cam phaser issue, TSB and dealer responsibility to cover

    my ‘17 with 44k and phaser rattle in for repair today. They will do the software update, follow that with a cold start to document the rattle, and then do the repair. Got a nice explorer to drive in the meantime. I hope they get it right as I want to keep my truck for a long time yet. The...

    New TSB dated: 15JULY2021

    ‘17 w 44k miles. Phaser rattle for the last 3-4k miles—in for repair. They told me they will do the software update, let it sit a day, start it to hear the rattle, and proceed with true fix thereafter. They acted like they had to do it this way to get it fixed under warranty as I offered up...

    Gen 2 Owners: Are you going to Gen 3, Gen 3-R or staying with your Gen 2??

    Raptor gen 2 is the first vehicle in many years that I haven’t had the itch to swap in 2-3 years (I even bought a Ford supplemental warranty..never done that before!). And the gen 3 hasn’t caused that itch to return. Love this truck and don’t see getting new gen 3 or anything else for a bit...

    Dealership Forgot to put lug nuts on tire

    And a smart lawyer will stay in the background and see how they treat you without letting on a thing—but be ready to pounce if it goes awry

    Dealership Forgot to put lug nuts on tire

    Get a lawyer. They may well fix it right but will never compensate you for the diminished value..never. There is a lot going on here eith the insurance potential etc. This type of case brings attorneys fees so if they screw around, they will have to pay your lawyers fees too. I wouldn’t go it...

    Ford & Carfax's awful policy. BE AWARE !!!

    ^^^this. It could ultimately be a class action for this specific behavior. It’s tantamount to libel. And with any damages (which is easy to prove as to resale etc), stick ‘em with some punitive damages to deter this chicken sh$t stuff

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    ^^^ totally agree. Hoarding cash here as well waiting on the shoe to drop and the resulting legendary opportunities

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    I slugged my way as a single parent through my son’s 8 yrs of Ivy tuition (U Penn Med grad) and expenses so he could start life debt free. Those were some lean years as far as toys for me but all worth it. Bought myself a Raptor through my business to celebrate his MD and no more tuition etc for...

    New raptor spotted with standard wheels, 35s and stickers

    Ford just saved me some money (kind of) as the upgrades though fantastic are diminished in my view by the totally bland design. Like others have said, my tired eyes will have trouble noticing a gen 3 “too similar to F150” front coming at me. No thanks. Gen 1&2 were game changer designs vs...

    Trying so hard to like the Gen 3 but.....

    Nice evolution. Selfishly, I like that it’s not a vast departure cosmetically from my gen 2 as I want to keep mine another few years at least and won’t feel like I am driving an ancient version right away

    How you know your wife likes your truck...

    My wife has already laid claim to my current Raptor when I buy the next gen —I work from home in this pandemic so she has access to it all day now and always comes up with some excuse that she needs it over her M4 convert. Really funny as she could have cared less when I got it..until I let her...

    GEN 2 Temporary Raptor Replacement - What would you do?

    A-Hole with nose ring wrecked my rear bumper

    If his carrier yanks you around AT ALL on any issue, including diminished value (which is an easy damage element on a Raptor), immediately sure the kid that hit you directly because then his carrier is faced with not only your wrath, but the wrath of their own insured for letting him get sued...

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    The Raps will come in handy in that part of the world for sure. I love that area of the US as it always reminds me of my favorite old fashioned westerns. Showing my age I guess. So beautiful. Enjoy your retirement when you get out there !

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    Slaved away 70-80hrs/week as a young lawyer (and single parent of a 2 yr old at the time) at a large regional law firm getting trial experience and making the partners rich. Ten yrs in I went on my own after I had built up my own clientele. Ate Ramen noodles, lived with my folks, drove a 1989...

    GEN 2 Pulled the trigger on a 2020 Rocky Ridge Raptor

    I was referring to non-Raptor F150s and that’s just my observation as a fellow Okie.

    GEN 2 Pulled the trigger on a 2020 Rocky Ridge Raptor

    Looks like what everyone in Oklahoma does to an F-150..no thanks, but to each his own

    If the ins co won’t pay you for loss in value (typically they fight that of course), sue their insured directly (he is after all the responsible party) and let their insured bitch at his carrier to pay you for the loss in value as he won’t want any part of such a lawsuit. The Raptors do carry...

    So the wife said go for it...

    Congrats. And I still laugh that of all the forums I troll the Raptor forum is the one with all this talk about permission from the wife. Don’t see that on Rennlist. Sack up —life’s short.

    Help...can't decide on a gray

    Both colors are awesome and buy what you want —not sure why anyone buying a truck would particularly care what color the wife likes. I love that my wife stays out of this part of my life except to be supportive. She would never be so intrusive to do anything else. She does seem to like the...
