Ford changed the back lighting on the center shifter in 2018. Only the 2017 and very early 2018 trucks are backlit. There are ways to add the lighting. A number of threads were rolling around in early 2018 with how to's.
Based on a quick manual read, the system will prime the brakes if it senses a possible collision. Light brake press will exert much more braking power in that scenario. The system will automatically apply the brakes if it senses a collision is imminent, meaning the system is primed and the...
That crazy Raptor S thing that Salamondron (youtuber) made with Galpin Auto in California has screen similar to that. He is producing some highly cosmetically and moderately performance modified raptors for general sale. A bit overkill but the screen looks almost identical to his setup. I...
I had a nasty scuff on my front driver flare. I tried to get it professionally touched up with the magnetic metallic paint. The guy did a great job but the damage was still visible. I elected to replace the flare. It cost me $240 at the dealership and $30 for install. You can do it yourself...
Now that's a sport truck I would drive. That thing looks absolutely savage. Even less practical than the raptor and I love it. There is a youtuber who has a nice black single cab 2018 5.0 with a the new 2.9L whipple who is hurting feelings up and down the Mid-Atlantic coast. He calls his...
I believe there is an octane sensor in the motor that can regulate boost in order to keep pre-detonation to a minimum in lower octane fuels. I do not know if anyone has ran back to back dyno runs with the different 87, 89, 93 (91 in cali) octanes to prove this out. I've ran both 87 and 93 in...
Could the Roush package from a Ford Roush dealer substitute? Might retain warranty. The Roush dealer near me said no such thing exists but, its on their website...
The 17in with 35's provide a ton of flexibility and sidewall give for off-roading but still feels soft and responsive on the road. I run methods with a leveling kit for now to avoid the offset rub. I may eventually move to Kings but for now, the truck feels great.
That's my thinking as well. I love the F-150 Raptor but not driving it through cities. And forget about a parking garage. The Ranger Raptor would be a cool alternative truck for driving through cities and getting into the parking garages our full size Raptors can't fit into. They both have...
There is a difference between locking out a gear or two or four within the display to keep the truck in a more performance oriented RPM range all the time, but having the entire display disappear is a bit unnerving the first time it happens. Bug or not.
To the OP, the rear of these trucks can...
That's a loaded truck. I think every box was checked on its order. The only things I don't see are the rear heated seats, color accent for the interior, and carbon fiber package.
I have verified with one of the larger Ford dealers in my area that they search out new Raptors from other dealers who are selling at or near MSPR and purchase them for their dealer stock. At this dealer, they add the ADM between $5k and $10K. Their strategy is to become the ONLY dealer in the...
I would say if you are going sicker for sticker, it may be worth it considering the new active valve fox shocks and Recaros are worth the extra money. If you factor in negotiation room on dealer stock 18's the equation gets a lot wider than $2.5k. That difference alone had me buy a loaded '18...
I'm running the ICON AAC at 1.75". It stiffened up the front a bit and the nose dive feels like it is more controlled on hard braking. I actually enjoy the road ride better with the collars. I have not taken it onto soft sand beaches yet but I do not anticipate any difficulty or jarring ride.
Those skirts almost look like a whiz wheel got to them. Jeez that stuff is abrasive. It's interesting that the blasting material made it past the rings but then again I suppose they are not designed to stop material. The build is looking like it will be dead nuts reliable. Very cool.
I am torn between the new BlackVue 900 and the Thinkware F800 pro. I'm leaning towards the F800 pro but the 900 has native 4k in front and is very clear. Both have solid night and low light functionality. Both rear cameras are similar. I plan to hardwire it into the truck and the 800 pro is...
I can’t imagine there would be much difference in heat transfer between the aluminum and plastic. I was thinking higher intake temps from higher boost and the transfer into the cooling system. You guys consistently make good pieces so I’m not concerned. Just curious if you’ve tested on...
The tank looks good and would match well with aluminum intake and intercooler piping. Have you tested it on the higher output motor or only on the base 3.5? Not that I think there would be much difference but maybe additional heat from the higher output/boost of the motor.
That audio setup looks great. From what I've been reading upgrading the 802A B&O system is not an easy or cheap endeavor. That looks like a fantastic audio blueprint for upgrades with price expectations. More clarity, less panel rattle, and deeper lower end are on the eventual upgrade agenda...
I think the dual zone climate control and the blue lighted bezels are unique to the 802A package as well. As well as heated and cooled seats. The buttons and dials on the center console are a quick visual check.
