Noted, thank you. I will be getting an extended warranty. Is there a specific one you would choose? Tons of options not sure where to start

Anyone know if these are legit? https://www.carandtruckremotes.com/2018-ford-f-150-raptor-smart-remote-key.html

Here's the latest : This morning I called Ford customer service and told them the entire story. Unfortunately, they were unable to do anything warranty wise. They still opened a case and told me to speak with the service manager over at the local dealership my Raptor was serviced at. I gave...

Apparently it's a common problem but hell if I know. I think it's because the intercooler and its fans sit directly behind the front bumper.

Ill give them a call, the dealer is denying everything even with the substantial evidence I have. The general manager even went out of the way to say "we're an honest dealership". dickhead ---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ---------- lesson...

As I stated, there's a lesson to be learned here. I'm in CA, the dealership is in TX. I didn't exactly have the luxury to fly out and take a look at the truck in person. They provided a pic of the engine bay, and from the surface it looked fine. It wasn't until you peeked through the nooks...

Good question! A guy I know replaced his Raptor's front bumper with an aftermarket one, and he's willng to give me his stock skidplate as a, in his own words, "good luck gift". Maybe I'll just keep it in my pickup bed as a charm instead of actually using it haha

Appreciate the reassuring words brother! Im hoping this is the case with my truck :) Although the skid plate did look like it took quite a beating haha. Once I get the truck back I'm powerwashing the engine bay and replacing the skid plate. Out of sight out of mind.

not yet! haha

Yeah, and they didn't exactly sell it to me for a steal either... If they aren't willing to pay for the fix then I really don't have a choice but to pay it. Looks like mods are going to have to wait!

So for those of you who didn't peep my previous post, I bought a used 2017 with 3k miles on it from TX and had it shipped over to CA. The truck was purchased from a CERTIFIED FORD dealership. Upon arrival last Thursday night, I heard some crazy ass noise in the engine bay, and the next...

dropping mine off next week for a full front end clear bra wrap and a ceramic coating.

I fully intend to get her dirty on my own accord :) Just a shame that the previous owner didnt care too much to give her a spray down. Im hoping that he didnt get the Raptor repossessed and just decide to go balls out before the bank took it back. There were considerable skid plate scrapes so...

Honestly, scared the crap out of me. I was on the verge of having a meltdown. Here's to hoping the fan was the only thing affected by the mud, and no other components are going to be an issue in the future because of the previous owners negligence. The dealership is going to do a light power...

just arrived last night. In service right now wont get her back again till Monday :(

UPDATE: Looks like its the lower fans. They were CAKED SOLID in mud. The dealership in TX didn’t even bother to do an inspection or detail of the truck before selling it. Unbelievable. Fans are getting replaced with new ones and the engine bay is getting a light pressure wash to get rid of some...

I don’t know anyone in that area of TX, but the dealer did drive it about 100 miles to the shipping pickup location from Marlin to Austin. He didn’t say anything about the sound, and when I texted him last night about it he said he had no idea what it was. ---------- Post added at 06:21 PM...

Nothing inherently noticeable besides the obvious fact that someone did some serious off-roading in it. Considering the dealer I bought the raptor from is in TX and I’m in CA I can’t just take it in and demand anything. Pretty shitty though. Just dropped it off at my local Ford. Driving there...

highly possible seeing how its only happening when the engines hot. Plus I found like pretty big rocks just sitting under the skid plate. Engine bays pretty dirty as well. Looks like the previous owner did some serious offroading and the dealership didnt even bother to inspect it, clean it, or...

well that doesnt sound good at all ---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:41 PM ---------- Did a cold start of the Raptor this morning, sounded fine. Let it sit for a minute and turned it off just in case. Taking it to the dealership in a couple hours...

Once it was loaded off the truck I turned it on and everything was great. Drove it around for about 10-15 miles on local streets + freeway just to get a feel of everything. Pulled up to my house and suddenly It starts happening. Loud enough that the people walking there dogs turned around to see...

The transport truck just dropped off my 2017 SCAB AG. 3k miles. I bought from a dealer in TX. I go for a drive around the block and everything is great until I get home and I hear this crazy sounding noise from the engine. The truck starts shaking too. Sounds like a literal washing machine. I...

scab

The AG should be arriving in a week, but In the meantime I’ll try and get you a picture of my Lexus CT200h , the Prius’s cooler, slightly faster cousin ;) But yeah, the Raptor is really an amazing truck. I had the privilege of driving my friends raptor for two days and wow it really sealed...
