    PLEASE HELP - Looking at a gen 1

    I’ve been looking for a gen 1 for over a year. Ended up buying a 19. Now I’ve got a 14 in my garage for a couple days. Dealer a couple hours away here in TX is letting me test it out with no commitment. Offered me $61k for my 802a. They’re asking $35,500 for the 14 with 123,000 miles...

    Factory Live Valve Too Stiff?

    I’ve got a stock 19 that feels stiff on rough roads. I’ve lowered the tire pressure and it makes a little difference but I’m still not happy with it. Is there a way to program the valves to stay in the softest setting for daily driving?

    Soften 2019 and up suspension?

    I have a 19 and do more light off-roading and drive down gravel roads. I’ve noticed the suspension is great when the suspension needs to articulate through rough terrain but seems pretty rough with minor bumps and gravel roads. Is there a trick to soften it up?

    Trade gen 2 for gen 1??

    I’ve got a 19 and I love it, minus the sound and life span of the engine. Playing with the idea of looking for a clean 14 with under 75k miles. From why I hear the 6.2 is build to go hundreds of thousands of miles. I haven’t ever driven a gen 1. If I got it my plan would be to put fresh...

    2020 Sync 3 Update

    I have a 19 and I see the infotainment looks updated on the 20s. I’ve tried to update over WiFi but it doesn’t seem there’s an update available. Has anyone found an update? If so how did you update it?

    Mishimoto catch can released for Raptor

    Below is a direct link to the product. I would buy it but I already purchased the JLT system. If anyone decides to try this one please report your results and feedback. I’m curious to see if it catches more since it’s a dual baffled can. Also curious to see how much it catches on the drivers...

    Gen 2 V8 Swap

    I have a 2019 I ordered and took delivery in mid August. First V6 I’ve ever owned. Always a die hard V8 guy. After Ford revealed the gen 2 I started to warm up to the idea of an EcoBoost. So I traded in my perfectly good 2016 F150 5.0 lariat FX4 with 52k miles on it for the raptor. Don’t...

    Keeping the 3.5HO Last

    Coming from V8 trucks only I ordered a 19 Raptor and took delivery in August. I’ve got 2400 miles on mine so far. After seeing what Ford did with the second gen 3.5 I finally got on board with the V6. Seems like they addressed the issues the first gen has. Now I’m looking on the posts on...

    Octane Matters

    I posted this in another thread someone else started but this I thought this ACTUAL DATA that Car and Driver Magazine put together was worth posting for people with gen 2’s to see. I got my 19 a couple months ago and 93 is all I’ll ever put in it. 21.7mpg from College Station to Houston and...

    Engine rattle on cold start question

    Ordered my 19 and took deliver the day it showed up in mid August so it’s a July build. I noticed on cold starts there was a noticeable rattling noise after the revs dropped from startup. I chose to just ignore it and told myself it’s under warranty. Fast forward a couple months and 1300...

    2019 Order came in!

    After about 11 weeks my Raptor came in. Got it a couple months ago. 1300 miles on it. Running 93 octane and getting great mileage. Went on a 200 mile trip and got 21.7 mpg. Loving it so far.

    Engine Oil Requirement in Raptor Supplement

    I don’t plan on staring a conventional vs synthetic debate but there is misinformation out there on what type of oil that the new Raptors need. I went back and forth on running the motorcraft synthetic blend or a full synthetic. My dealer told me synthetic blend. The standard F-150 that the...

    Factory Fuel Water Separator

    I have a 19 raptor and was looking over the Raptor supplement guide and it mentions checking your fuel water separator monthly. Anyone know where this is located and how to check it? I looked on YouTube and google search but don’t see anything. Thanks, Jason
