    Oil differences... an observation.

    Good choice in oil my friend. I’ve been using same since I purchased my 2018 new. Change it every 5 g’s with new filter and you should be good. Some folks might not like it but my truck has never been back to any dealer since purchase and has 55,863 miles of trouble free fun. Installed a JLT...

    Octane Poll

    93 non ethanol here in Florida. My 18 only had 1/4 tank of 87 through it because I would not let the dealer fill it with that low octane when it came in.. I drove her straight to the 93 non-eth pump and filled her up.. I’m up to 52,000 and she has never been back to Ford nor ever given me an...

    100K Mile 2017-2018 Gen 2 Reliability vs 2013 Gen 1

    JJ, both the Gen 1 & 2 like and deserve the best gas you can get in your area. Both are performance vehicles not economy. If you are concerned about the price of gas then you should look for something else. Raptor owners don’t give a crap about the cost of gas. That said, I love those Gen 1...

    Raptor Hood Scoop Emblem Ripped Off

    :confused:Hmm, I see no evidence of tool use ie scratches or mars on the hood piece, and a recessed emblem, I see no way someone could use his bare hands to get a good enough grip on the emblem to pull it off. Then to just drop it on the floor and not take it! Did not bother with the other side...

    Normal or Sport mode around town

    I use mine as a daily driver, mostly in normal mode, and usually never over 7th gear. Too much gear shifting in stop an go traffic. Helps with gas mileage(even though I don’t care about mileage), and tow haul quite a bit so it holds shifting and gives you that jump when you want to get around...

    ATV, will it fit?

    I haul a Honda Rancher470 all the time. It sits on the bed but tailgate hits the tires before closing. My Rap is an 18 and I bought the loading ramps ford had for it and they work great. You just have to remove the inside top plate on the tailgate and install the top plate that comes with the...

    Oil catch can

    I have a 2018 with JLT since first oil change at 5000. It collects 2 ounces every oil change and I now have 47000 miles on her. Oil level on the dip-stick never drops but maybe a 3rd of a quart between changes. She’s not much of an off roader but I drive the the heck out of her. Pennzoil...

    Handgun Holder

    If you have a carry card in your pocket, you keep your carry on your person. We are continually getting in and out of veh. and having to remove and replace in veh. gets to be a hassle. Lots of problems happen when you just get out for gas, snack at conv. store, etc. being prepared is the end...

    Raptor is terrible!

    Wow, that’s a lot of issues. I have an 18 and couldn’t be happier. Never had an issue in almost 4 years now except a pedal commander that went bad. No mods except some lights. I drive it pretty aggressively on dirt and highway and she performs beautifully. Too bad you had a bad experience, these...

    GEN 2 Best Octane vs. Cheapest to Run

    93 non ethanol all day! I agree, if you bought a Raptor and worried about price of gas or want to run anything but premium, you bought the wrong vehicle.

    Considering ford bed ramps. Reviews?

    I have them and so far they work great. I carry a Honda Rancher to the farm and never had a problem loading/unloading. Replacing the plate is a 10 min. job. Store the original. I have to leave the tailgate down because of the short bed but no issues, nothing is on the gate just can’t close...

    Daily driver roush raptor anyone???

    Lots of Raptors and quite a few Roush's around me and seems everyone is daily driving them. Theres 6 at the Hospital where I work and mine makes 7. Get it man and enjoy the ride. These things are a "HOOT". If gas use is and issue (and you mentioned nothing of the sort in you question) then its...

    Prospective buyer with a tech question

    Hey FordTechOne, the TSB on cam phaser rattle, is this something that needs to be done on all ECO Boost engines? I have an 18 that has performed perfect for now three years 22,000 miles. If so how long is the truck down for the TSB? I do not have a rattle.

    Beware of Peddle Commander

    I had one on my 18 for about a year and then it started going into limp mode after about 30 min of driving. It would put truck in limp mode even when it wasn’t in use. Removed and never another problem. IMO not a good mod for your Rap.

    Should I reconsider?

    I’ve had my “18” now for 2.5 years, 22,000 miles and problem free. Only issue I’ve had was a peddle commander after 1.5 years kept putting it in limp mode. Got rid of it never another problem. I stay away from the dealers and have only modded it with lighting. I think lots of issues with the...

    Raptor motor vs Ford GT motor

    Heres another good article about how much the engines are alike. Go to Auto Guide.com and check out the article "The new Ford GT shares 70% of engine with the F150. This is per Dave Pericak, head of Ford Performance Division. Just saying!

    Raptor motor vs Ford GT motor

    Thanks badgertits and FordTech One. I knew I had read the article about the crank. All one has to do is ask google about EcoBoost development and lots of articles about shared parts with the Raptor/Ford GT. Thanks for chiming in with the answers. This forum is the BEST!

    Raptor motor vs Ford GT motor

    I can remember reading somewhere when the new GT was being built that they were continually breaking the crank. Their answer was to put the Raptor engine crank in it and no more issues. I’ll try to find it. Come on Ford Tech chime in on this. I know I read that somewhere. Just saying.

    Damn Rough Country light bar, Get what you pay for.

    The “other guy” I’m talking about is Rough Country, the company you seem to believe only sells cheap stuff. Then you admit you sell cheap stuff and then down the “Jeep” customers that buy your cheap products. IMO you need to think about what you post a little more before posting. If you don’t...

    Damn Rough Country light bar, Get what you pay for.

    Hey guy be professional, sell your product but don’t put the other guys down as selling cheap products. As I said above I have this product, it has lots of light, fits perfect. If Brent13 has the same product he’s doing something wrong. Your recommendation to throw it out or sell on line and buy...
