    What will be the last model year for this gen Raptor?

    In the “modern” era (10th gen F150 from ‘97 on) Ford has gone anywhere from 5 to 7 years in between redesigns, last gen was 6 years - do we expect this current generation F150/Raptor to go through 2026 or do you think it may run out to ‘27? Seems like it was a fairly heavy redesign particular...

On computer but hand calculation usually 15.5 so I dunno Replaced the tires...

    Good custom fit neoprene seat covers?

    Looking for recommendations for good waterproof neoprene seat covers for front seats, have 2 Dobermans they fight for supremacy to be as close as possible to me (annoying but typical dobie behavior) & inevitably the puppy winds up jumping in front seat- eventually I’ll have her trained not to...

    Raptor R on mecum

    Saw a new 2023 Raptor R sell on mecum auto auction for $135k, it looked to be fully loaded (had the graphics & sunroof) - I believe it had no reserve, I can only guess the person who auctioned off lost $$$, maybe a good bit. You would have to think any new raptor Rs were sold w/ ADM, & even if...

    Raptor T-case

    This article is about the Gen2, but the same rings true for the gen3, I don’t even have a Gen3 but am posting this here b/c it’s esp worth noting when trying to compare to something like the TRX (or any other 1/2 ton) The Raptor has a bespoke Borg-Warner transfer case that, in a nutshell...

    Any downside to Toyo AT3s?

    Started looking around for new tires, running nokian snows on base 2018 cast wheels (which feel MUCH lighter than my KO2s on 2020 forged beadlocks FWIW) - but my KO2s probably have about 33-35k miles on them, are starting to wear uneven & probably got 3-5k miles left max. I’m considering either...

    How many years of production?

    Curious what everyone thinks as far as how many years ford will do of the gen3 Raptor or this design F150 in general? The Gen2 wasn’t produced until the 3rd model year in for the ‘15-‘20 design generation F150, but the gen3 came out late ‘21 - same model year as the fresh design F150 in...

    Dyno #s?

    Has anyone gotten a Raptor R to the dyno yet? I’ve yet to see any reported stock dyno #s which is odd, very curious what it puts down.

    Whirring/whooshing sound in 4a?

    Not sure whether this is “normal” & I never noticed it until now, but been raining heavy last few days & had left truck in 4a, was nice out this afternoon & had all the windows down going down highway & realized truck was still in 4a so I switched it to 2wd & immediately noticed was quieter...

    Suggestions for rear bumper/bed lighting

    As title states looking for some ideas on lighting for my 2020 that didn’t come w/ factory bed lights + wanted more lighting offroad/backing up @ night. I have upfitters 5/6 open, & the #4 switch turns on the amber backlighting for my 4 forward facing rigid radiance fogs. I was considering this...

    Raptor > TRX offroad deep snow

    Not surprised TBH. And the kid wasn’t driving that Raptor the way it can be driven- actually both of em weren’t putting the trucks in the absolute best setup to attack that stuff Take the TC AND the stability control off 4H only Baja, deep snow, or sport setting depending on exact situation...

    Car seat marks in leather seats?

    So I pulled my 2 sons car seats last week as I went on a week long road trip for work w/ my dog riding along- decided to give her more room by removing both seats on the “60 split side” of the rear seats & having the whole back floor to herself. Well- It was quite cold when I removed them &...

    Careful what you wish for

    Been saying….insanity to pay over MSRP or just buy any expensive vehicle w/ never having even seen or driven one especially when it’s a brand new design & even more so on the back end of a trade war, logistical bottleneck, & a pandemic lockdown. Quality control out the window. These are...

    Cracked taillight, suggestion replace or leave?

    Just realized I have a crack in my passenger rear taillight, sucks! No idea how it happened, could’ve been me banging against it loading/unloading something, could’ve been a Parking lot deal, could’ve been one of the contractors @ my house doing an AC install, could’ve been one of the 75 drunk...

    Gauges not reading oil pressure or manifold temp?

    Just noticed the oil pressure on my configurable gauge cluster wasn’t removing/reading anything. Scrolled through the listed measurements & also not reading there or picking up manifold charge temp. No check engine lights, not short on oil, running fine. I wonder if something w/ the tune I’m...

    Random tranny fluid in front wheel well?

    This may turn out to be random coincidence of me driving through some oil, but walk out to my truck this morning & see what looks like tranny fluid (red tint) all up in my front drivers wheel well, the running board & along the body. looking underneath there is NO leak I can see or evidence of...

    any difference in 2018 vs 2020 ECM/TCM calibration??

    I had a 2018 w/ metal oil pan (later build I guess) that got totaled - in meantime I put bout 34k miles on it & it was essentially trouble free minus the cam phaser noise starting to occur on cold starts that didn't bother me enough to warrant bringing it in even (I'd hold gas for couple seconds...

    Opinions on toolbox/built right racks

    So on my 2018 Raptor & 2 previous GM trucks I’ve been running undercover swingcase toolboxes- in all applications I mounted them to the truck using stainless nuts/bolts going up under the inside of fender and/or removing taillight to make sure I could get a few spots w/ bolts vs the supplier...

    From 18 to 20 Raptor 801a impressions

    So as some of you may know I went from an 18 raptor to a 20 after having my 18 totaled by a distracted driver. I realized recently it’d be pretty relevant to provide a comparison thread b/c they were both 801a trucks w/ MSRPs within like $1000 of each other....but standard items have changed &...

    First mods on my 2nd Raptor

    So just picked up new 2020 leadfoot SCREW after having my 18 Black truck totaled by someone running a red light (everyone OK) - after debating what to replace it w/, driving every truck I was interested in, & then winding up finding a near Perfect Raptor when it seemed impossible I’m pretty...

    torn between Raptor vs F250 Diesel/Tremor

    On the hunt for a replacement truck, as many may be aware inventories are tight right now - I really don't want to get something used unless its a great deal b/c even slightly used lower mileage (15-35k) are basically selling for near-new pricing but w/o the new car smell or full warranty or...

    Truck got totaled help w/ value?

    Well....the same way I got into a Raptor just caused me to get outta one, hopefully temporarily. Just got drilled by a girl running a red light. 2018 801a w/ 32k miles & lots of a la carte options-pano roof/leather/sync3/nav/blis etc sticker like $67k fairly sure truck will be totaled & even...
