    GEN 2 Looking for opinions on airing down for the beach

    Leave it alone. These trucks laugh at sand. Ha Ha sand, take this! *Puts it in Baja mode and floors it.

    Will it be faster than a TRX???

    I'm hoping for a 1000HP three cylinder that redlines at 10 grand and gets 35MPG on the highway.

    Winter Driving and tires

    I’m in Atlanta and had to look up this “snow” word you guys keep using. I do remember now. Anyway, all the professional reviews I read before purchasing my 18 said that the truck did well in this snow stuff. Those guys all seemed to love the KO2s in the snow, except the guy in the link below...

    Catastrophic engine failure, what would you do?

    *You're When calling someone an idiot, make sure you don't fall into that category yourself. Admitting the tune up front establishes OP's honesty. The dealer would certainly discover it anyway. Only an idiot would lie and henceforth be a known liar to the dealer.

    Catastrophic engine failure, what would you do?

    I'll need to see letters from each dealer on their letterhead explaining that they do not offer lifetime power train warranties.

    Catastrophic engine failure, what would you do?

    I'm willing to wager any amount up to and including one dollar. Make it easy on yourself. You start polling dealers and I'll wait here for the results.

    Maybe you bought your Raptor at the wrong dealer. https://www.fivestarfordsm.com/Five-Star-Exclusive-Lifetime-Warranty.html

    long term reliability

    I bought a Ford Lightning in 2003 and always drove it hard. Changed oil every 3000 miles until 100K then moved to a 5000 mile oil change schedule. When I sold it in 2016 it had just over 300,000 miles on it with no engine or transmission work ever needed. Hopefully my 2018 Raptor can come close...

    Which color hides dirt better: Lead Foot or Magnetic?

    I got a black one because I'm proud of my Raptor dirt. Black seems to show dirt best. Look everybody! My Raptor is very dirty!

    Trials near Charlotte NC

    Try the local courthouse. Should be plenty of interesting trials.

    Buyers Remorse...I should have bought a...

    I don’t think that is true at all. Various sources give the Raptor a 0-60 time of 5.1 while the 3.5 eco boost F150 does 0-60 in 6.1 seconds.

    New fuel wheels

    I think the stock wheels look better. The black wheels just look strange to me for some reason. Anyway, there's only one person that needs to like them. Save your stockers for me in case I ever damage one of mine. I'll pay $100 each shipped if I need one.

    Update on intercooler fan mud issue

    Used car salesmen may stretch the truth. Better write that down.

    Update on intercooler fan mud issue

    And to you that means he didn’t inspect it? To me it means he can’t drive two vehicles at once.

    Update on intercooler fan mud issue

    At no point in the original post did it say that the buyer did not personally inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. There is no way I’d ever buy a used vehicle without looking it over carefully. Caveat emptor. By the way, I have a sweet 2004 Ford Lightning for sale. $16,000. Send cash and...

    Update on intercooler fan mud issue

    "Turns out the entire engine bay was caked in dry mud" Good tip! Before buying a vehicle, pop the hood and make sure the entire engine bay isn't caked in dry mud. Who knew, right?

    GEN 2 How long did you wait?

    I ordered SB 802A SCREW on February 10, 2018, modified the order to include orange accent and heated rear seats on February 15, 2018. I picked it up April 27, 2018 at Five Star Ford in Stone Mountain, GA. Paid $1,000.00 under sticker.

    Raptor vs Jeep JL and width concern

    I don’t think you should buy a Raptor. Resale values are barely 85% of sticker after two years and there will be no V8 in 2019 or beyond. I think you’ll be much happier in a narrow little Jeep. A Raptor’s extra three inches of width on each side will be too much for you. You’ll have both mirrors...

    Went to track. Need more power.

    Lower it a lot. New front suspension and four link rear suspension. Remove four wheel drive. Install built TH400 transmission with a trans brake. Large slicks on the back on 15” wheels. Remove EB engine and install a Chevy 540 with a single huge turbo. Install new engine management system...

    Is this still the oil leak issue you posted about in March 2017? My calendar says that is over a year, not 4 weeks.

    Tunes: BF & After at Drag Strip

    I’d guess the near 50 degree temperature drop had a lot to do with your improvement. That and the headwind make it tough to compare.

    Mudflaps

    Wow, those look very nice. Still, $500 seems a bit pricey for mud flaps.
