    Autostop Eliminator

    I have the Autostop eliminator. It works great. Forscan method is cheap but from what I read it shuts down the battery management system as a side effect, which I didn't want to do. Trailer module unplug method screws up the trailer lights if you tow (which I do) so that was a no go either.

    Bed step and Applique Delete Tailgate Retrofit Gen2 Raptor

    Surprisingly did not see any videos for the current generation F-150s but they are probably the same.

    Bed step and Applique Delete Tailgate Retrofit Gen2 Raptor

    Has anyone retrofitted a bed step/applique delete tailgate to their Gen2 Raptor? I would like to do this project. A buddy of mine owns a body shop, he can get the tailgate and hardware at cost and paint it for me. I would do the installation myself. It looks like the parts cost isn't too...

    1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton? WTF?

    To make this more confusing the 150/250/350/1500/2500/3500 means nothing anymore. Many of those trucks that are called 1500 now rated at 1800lbs, 2000lbs, 2300lbs, etc. At this point it's just a "ballpark" and historical name. The Raptor, of course, is rated lower due to the Baja suspension...

    Heated Steering Wheel

    Coming to the Raptor from an XC90 T8 - I like the Raptor's heated wheel I think it heats up fast, warms your hands, then stays at a lower maintenance temperature on it's own. I found the XC90's to always be burn your hands hot or barely warm and I was constantly adjusting it. There's a lot of...

    New Raptor did not come with tailgate plate for ramps

    Correct as said above the tailgate plate comes with the ramp kit and you have to install it. A Raptor without the ramps as a factory option would not have the tailgate plate included. Sounds like the Ebay seller sold you an incomplete ramp kit that was missing the tailgate plate. Sent from...

    Any setup that can safely tow my 5500lb tractor?

    600 for SCAB and 800 for SCREW, both numbers when using a WDH.

    Any setup that can safely tow my 5500lb tractor?

    With a weight distribution hitch on a Super Crew Raptor, yes, well within the towing capacity

    New Raptor at Dealership with 44 miles

    My 2019 was fresh off the truck. It was a coincidence that I stopped by the dealer in May 2019 to see if they had any Raptors and they were unloading the truck right in front of the dealer with a Raptor spec'd out exactly how I would have special ordered it. Needless to say I made a deal on it...

    Has anyone found OEM mats?

    You can have mine, send me a PM. I took them out and put Weathertechs in after less than 100 miles. Yours for cheap. I'd love to get the box out of my basement.

    Mirror part #

    From what I can see 17682 is for the complete right hand mirror and 17683 is for the complete left hand mirror. That being said the mirrors are different depending on what options your truck has. Part number 17683 is listed multiple times at different prices depending on the options. I...

    ko2 and snow

    Just had the first big snowstorm here since I've had my Raptor. I found the K02's to be fine in snow. The truck likes to understeer...a solid dose of throttle and unwinding the wheel a little bit sticks the rear when it happens.

    Who is Towing a Travel Trailer and what are your experiences

    Suspension is the weak point on the Raptor for towing. The engine and driveline and frame are stronger and more powerful than any other F-150 so you are more than fine there. WDH is essential. WDH + Airbags on the rear is best. Here is the thread that includes my custom rear airbag system...

    2020 Sync 3 Update

    I agree that 3.4 is obnoxiously bright in day mode. I started running it in night mode all the time and unlike v3.3 the night mode is plenty bright during the daytime and the color skins match the truck much better. Still amazing that Ford has not done anything to coordinate the skins between...

    Where in Colorado to stay as a base for Colorado & Moab summer vacation.

    Grand Junction or Fruita would be closest in CO to Moab. Summit County/Eagle County areas would be more fun as far as summer activities for the family.

    Tesla Cybertruck

    LOL the Aztec is exactly what I was thinking. Tesla is going to find out what being a real automaker is like now that they are exiting the Prius crowd with their lineup.

    2020 Sync 3 Update

    I agree with you, I like the new styling and fonts which look more modern but the blue buttons are a bit much. Not really that bad but it's a trade off for the updated look I guess. One thing I have never liked both on the old and new version is Ford has made no effort whatsoever to coordinate...

    2020 Sync 3 Update

    Did the upgrade to 3.4 tonight on my 2019. Easy to upgrade but at first my Sirius XM would not work. When I tried to select XM by hitting the XM button on the touchscreen nothing would happen. I did a reboot (hold power and >>) then drove around the block and XM picked up the Demo channel...

    10 Speed Transmission?

    The 10 speed is great with an MPT transmission tune. I don't like how it shifts stock form...shifting 1-3-5-7 is super annoying b/c with the Ecoboost engine you hit the turbo lag when skipping a gear and that results in a power delay such as when coasting around a corner and wanting to...

    Husky Wheel Arch Liners on 2019

    So back when I started this thread Husky's website said the liners did not fit the Raptor. I bought the F-150 liners and tried to adapt them, which is what others on the forum here said they had done in other threads about this topic. Now I see they have a part number for the Raptor...

    Husky Wheel Arch Liners on 2019

    The ones I ordered and received directly from Husky's website, which did not fit at all on my 2019, looked like the ones on the bottom of the photo.

    Husky Wheel Arch Liners on 2019

    I tried to install a set on my 2019. They fit terribly. I ended up trashing them. I removed the wheels and fender flares. Trimmed them around the shocks. Still would not fit up to my standards. Went with 3M undercoating instead. Liners were a waste of time and money. It's worth...
