    STOLEN - Silver Gen 2, Denver

    I think it would be better if they were an Android user. iPhones alert you if an unknown airtag is traveling with you. Androids do not. It’s not like they are gonna be hanging out somewhere that no iPhone ever comes within comms range of the AirTag. I bought my girlfriend an AirTag for her...

    GEN 2 Using the engine brake

    I switch to manual and go to a lower gear. However, I’ve noticed that my 2020 sometimes does not provide significant engine braking when going to a lower gear. When it does this, the info screen shows that it’s not shutting off fuel (AFR ~14:1). I typically go back to drive, hit the gas and...

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    I posted my fill up logs directly above your post. Take a look. Completely agree and obviously looks are subjective. The new Raptor is clearly better off-road. It’s just hard to be excited to order a new truck that you find ugly. I really want to like it but just can’t.

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    I’ve logged every fill up for the life of the vehicle and below is a screenshot of my data in Fuelly. Average is a bit under 18. Apologize for the graph scaling. You can also see where I have towed and when I got a new daily driver in March. For the trip up to the mountains, I got a little...

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    What do you think about the taillights, tail gate appliqué, and fenders? I should add that I thought I could get over the looks but when going by this week and spending time walking around the truck, I don’t think I can. They wouldn’t let me drive it since it was already sold but maybe that...

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    I’m hesitant to name the dealer because they are doing me a solid based on another situation and I don’t want everyone going in asking for the same deal. It sounds like they would want my truck now to guarantee the deal pricing but I have two other cars and a motorcycle so that’s fine. This...

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    I should add that it’s close to free when you add up what the truck needs (almost $2k in new tires and a Ford extended warranty since I’m approaching 30k) The dealer owes me and is definitely doing me a solid.

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    It’s hard not to but I can’t seem to be excited about it.. The 37’s are pretty amazing and I love the rear suspension but I just find the truck so ugly that I’m not excited. I started life as a GM fan but think the gen 2 is the best truck ever made. I got 20MPG round trip last month on a road...

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    I have a dealer that is willing to let me upgrade to a gen 3 for free, though I would have to pay extra for the 37’s. I went by and looked at a couple yesterday and they ruined the looks of the truck. The grill now sucks, the rounded fender extensions are no longer chiseled, the rear brake...

    Looking to purchase Ford Extended Service plan for my Gen2 -SOCAL

    I was thinking of upgrading to a gen 3 but after seeing its ugly ass in person yesterday, think I’ll be getting a plan for my gen 2.

    Raptor vs Accord

    It’s not the environment I’m doing it for. It’s cheaper to use. Spending $500/month on gas alone currently and Tesla’s also have low maintenance and good acceleration. Almost got beat on my 1441cc sport bike by a model S. You just have to act like a smug ******* to have one.

    Raptor vs Accord

    We all feel that way… and I just ordered a Tesla to keep miles off my Raptor (at 30k on a 2020). Wtf is wrong with Tesla bros?? I’m so conflicted.

    Raptor vs Accord

    I was driving my dad to the ER when someone did this. Hopefully he felt bad when he saw me turn in. You never know what is going on. Just move over and let them tailgate the guy ahead of you.

    Raptor vs Accord

    Totally agree. Want to make a cheat sheet for people: “Are you passing? If no, move tf over!” Strange the people filming are on the side of the raptor. Must be more to it.

    Raptor vs Accord

    Some good ol fashioned road rage. Who was it on here??

    I can't stop P04DB

    Any updates? I have a Roush air intake (without the tune installed yet) and P04db last night after driving for 3 hours while towing maybe 2k lbs up mountain passes here in CO. Went to the dealer, who said it was too dangerous to reset (no tech’s available since it’s Saturday). I don’t have...

    Van Life vs Truck Life

    I have been trying to figure out some of these answers ever since I got my Raptor. We have two German shepherds that we travel and camp with so we have the same constraints. My ideal solution would be the tent topper. Dogs go in the truck bed, preferably on a decked storage system. You enter...

    Navos Full Screen Entertainment System?

    Just came across this in the latest issue of American Trucks. Has anyone tried it? Does it retain the ability to change vehicle settings in the truck? From what I can tell, it’s based on Android and replaces the HVAC controls with internal settings, which I’m not a huge fan of. But I do like...

    Gen 2 Owners: Are you going to Gen 3, Gen 3-R or staying with your Gen 2??

    Completely agree. I like the grill separated from the headlights. I also look for a massive amount of room for heat exchangers (radiator, AC condenser, intercooler, trans cooler, etc.) And it feels like the gen 2 has more room though this may just be an optical illusion. I only see two...

    Raptor R sounds nice

    Though I personally have no desire to have a V8, I love that Ford isn’t letting dodge win at any category (besides most fuel consumed). Dodge, aside from a total redesign, has no ability to close the gap with an equivalently powered Raptor. When your competitor weighs 1k less and has just as...

    What happens if you unplug telematics/modem on a 2019 with 802A?

    Sorry for reviving an old thread but any long term update on this @Droid? Did you replace the fuse with a different type or did you just remove it entirely? I get people saying that they are ok with the reduction in privacy for the increase in features but I am amazed by the other two types...

    Zombiekiller's "Donkey" build up

    Agreed. Half the reason I come on the forum is for pictures of this truck.

    GEN 2 Tapping sound

    No luck. My 2019 and 2020 do it. Only while in gear at a stop. Think it might be worst in 4WD low. Nothing in neutral or reverse. can the tech’s hear it?
