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...

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

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...

I hadn’t seen this posted yet so I figured I’d add it: https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/kxxwcz/youtuber_jumps_his_brand_new_dodge_ram_trx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf I think this jump is out of reach or a stock Raptor and definitely out of reach of a...

The other day I was coming down a mountain pass here in CO. I usually hold M4 on the way down and M3 in one particularly steep spot. For some reason, this wasn’t working for me. I was in M3 at like 4500 RPM’s and accelerating. When I shifted back to drive at the bottom, it made a popping sound...

So I used my engine block heater for the first time last night up here in the high Rockies. To see if it was working, I pulled out my thermal imager and found that almost the entire engine was warm. Got me wondering, how does the engine block heater work? Is there heating/charging going to the...

Went out snow wheeling today in Northern Colorado. We had a snow storm come through last night and dump close to a foot of fresh snow for a nice soft top layer. I was excited to try out my new tires chains which did work pretty well though they took me over an hour to put on. I would like to...

Rave: I took my brand new 2020 into the dirty yesterday and it was amazing! I aired down to 32 front/28 rear as the Raptor Assault instructors recommended. We did buffalo pass near Steamboat springs Colorado, which is fairly rough but most cars can make it through given enough time. We were...

This last winter was my first with a truck. I ended up pulling 3 cars and one Jeep out of ditches & snow banks here in CO which got me thinking, maybe I should have better gear to help these Texans out. What do you guys carry? How do you attach to low slung cars? I have a cheap tow strap...

I just picked up a new 2020 this week and while looking for something to do, I decided to remove the turbo silencers from the intake. I like hearing what the turbos are doing and the high schooler in me likes the turbo whine. I pulled apart the intake track to find that there are no silencers...

I used to rock crawl in my Jeep Wrangler up Poudre Canyon back in high school. Now, almost 15 years later I decided to go back this weekend in my Raptor and wanted to share the experience and some lessons learned with you guys. For those of you not from the area, Kelly Flats is in Northern...

I just came across this on Reddit. I hope the person is OK https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/grbas1/off_roading_both_povs_caught_on_camera/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

I am looking for ways to mount a winch without creating a way for a warranty claim to be denied. The only option I’ve come across is the Warn Ascent bumper which appears to leave the stock intercooler in place (though with reduced airflow most likely). Is anyone aware of a way to mount a winch...

Was driving out of town tonight and when I got on the freeway, my dash lit up with all the usual BS lights (adaptive cruise not available, collision assist fault, etc) and now power train fault! I was able to idle to a local ford dealer at 10MPH when flooring it. At stoplights, the engine...

I installed a Cobb stage 1 91 octane map and now there is engine knock. I can hear it when accelerating at wide open throttle and I log over 7 counts of engine knock on cylinder 3. Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone else monitor knock after installing the Cobb? it’s a 2019.

How do I get started engine tuning on my Raptor? I have tuned imports (with stand alone EMS’s) and my Evo using a Tactrix cable. What do I need to tune a Raptor? Does it have a wideband O2 sensor stock or do I need to buy one? What tools do I need to data log? Seems like everyone on here is...

I am heading back out into the Rockies this weekend and planning to widen/clear some trails. It’s all national forest. Does anyone know what the rules are for this? One of the trails has a log that fell across it. I will be bringing a chainsaw to clear this. What other tools would be good? Has...

This is my first pickup and since I got it in May, this will be my first time driving in snow, so I have a few questions. I am used to driving and ice racing an AWD Evo with snow mode, blizzaks, and a torque vectoring rear differential. I’m guessing the handling on a raptor will be quite a bit...
