    Five Star Ford Dallas - Gen3 Visit Wed 6/23

    I don't think there was the option for power in the bed with Gen 1 or 2 and I'm pretty sure the Gen 2 doesn't have a power tailgate option. I know that there's an aftermarket mod you can buy that is inexpensive. It would really suck if you can't add the tailgate step as a stand alone option...

    @The Car Stereo Company would you or someone else recommend a good anl fuse I could replace these glass fuses with? From the Stinger website it looks like the fuse is a 60a fuse. Almost all the anl fuses/fuse holders that I see online are for 100a - 300a fuses which I assume are not recommended...

    Thinking of selling my Gen1...

    Good luck with getting monies back. Look into a cash out refi or a HELOC. I have a low mileage 2006 Prius that I can sell your son. It’s perfect for a teenager, low cost of ownership (gas and insurance) and if / when he crashes it, it was just a Prius, nothing to get worked up about. Seriously...

    Coast to Coast Road Trip

    It’ll take you about 5ish hours to get to Dallas area. If you want to have some Texas BBQ, Hurtado in Arlington is supposed to be pretty good. Conversely, the best Chicken and Rice meal I’ve ever had is at a place called PTT in Arlington. (It’s Vietnamese and get the Ga Xoi Mo) I mention...

    2021 Raptor Available Colors - CONFIRMED!

    That’s easily solved with a remote start to cool down the interior before you get in. The air cooled seats also helps if it’a really hot outside. However, I’ve never really had a problem with my Gen 1 in the Texas summer heat when I forget to do a remote start. I have a black truck with a black...

    Coast to Coast Road Trip

    Haha yeah, so many windmills out there. If they had turned them on, we could’ve blown the snowstorm away and not had the major fckup that we had. Did you stop at the Cadillac graveyard? It’s worth a stop to take a picture. Never had the steak in Amarillo but make sure you hit up a bbq joint...

    Coast to Coast Road Trip

    Not sure where you’re at now but there’s a couple speed traps on the road between Amarillo and Dallas. You can just turn on Waze or keep it at just 10 over the limit and you’ll be fine. Not usually a problem in Texas but there are a couple. I’m in Dallas and can help if you need anything. I...

    2021 Raptor Available Colors - CONFIRMED!

    I’m partial to the orange color. Since I don’t want to pay the expected ADM and to give Ford a chance to work out any bugs, I’ll wait for ‘22 or ‘23. The risk is that Ford won’t have orange in those years. I’m pretty sure a wrap or even a new paint job will be less than the ADM that dealers...

    Sell now or trade in later for Raptor R?

    I looked into get me the vin and got an offer for my ‘13 with 43k miles. Got an offer of $36k-39k. They called me later and offered $42k. I think if you have another vehicle, these prices really make you consider if it’s worth just selling and getting into another raptor later. The Raptor is...

    some help needed with pricing my truck

    Congratulations on the baby. Just to echo others, get your scab back to stock and sell it. Values are damn good for all raptors right now. A screw has so much room in the back. It’s the only vehicle that my 4 yo in his car seat/booster can’t kick the back of my seat while I’m driving. If you...

    Sell now or trade in later for Raptor R?

    As already mentioned, prices for used raptors are really high right now. You’re probably at the peak of what you could get in terms of value. If you hold out and trade in, you could probably save on sales tax as the trade in is often usually deducted from price to figure out tax. You’d have...

    ** SOLD** Velocity Blue 2020 Ford Raptor Screw

    Nice looking truck. If I was in the market for one an didn’t currently have my Gen 1. I’d seriously consider this. Don’t think I could get this wide on board with having a gen 1 and a Gen 2 GLWS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No sound from speakers

    Thanks for the advice, Noah. I ended up taking the fuses out of the protective pill and checking them. They both looked fine but did notice that one seemed a little loose when I pulled it out as well as a ring of scratches or corrosion. I ended up undoing all the connections to the battery and...

    No sound from speakers

    I should add that I don’t get any noise from the speakers, no buzzing or anything. All the speakers are the same. Everything worked fine before the battery died and I jumpstarted the truck. I can take it into an audio shop but I’d feel real silly if it was something simple that I should’ve...

    I also get this message now. Is this also because I let the battery die? Is it a setting I can change to clear this message from popping up again? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I also have 2 of these attached to the battery along with other wires that I don’t really know what they power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No sound from speakers

    So, I ended up draining the battery in my 2013 Raptor because I didn’t drive it for over a month. I jump started the truck with my suv and charged the battery by driving for an hour. However, now I get no sound from any of my speakers. I’ve turned the radio on and off, switched between...

    Tips for Pike’s Peak Highway

    Yes, that’s the one. I got my names all squished up in my head. You enter it just as you exit Garden of the gods. I believe it’s 20ish miles long but the 10 miles that I drove on it didn’t do much for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tips for Pike’s Peak Highway

    I drove Pikes Peak in my Gen 1 over Labor Day. It’s a paved road and you won’t have any issues with width. I had to take it slow since my kids get carsick easily and I didn’t want to have any clean up issues. Hopefully you don’t get stuck behind some other slow driver. Nice views, but there was...

    New Raptor mistakenly undercoated

    Tell them I’ll give them 50c on the dollar for it [emoji23]. I agree with the rest of the guys, take the other truck or have them swap seats. Better yet, take the second truck at the discounted price but with the swapped seats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    if you are near casper wyoming and can help

    Makes sense. I didn't know as I've always just left my vehicles stock. If my 2013 wasn't already modded when I bought it, I would've probably left it alone except for tint. Noah, are you still in Colorado Springs or are you in CA now? I'm headed to Co Springs for labor day to get away from...

    if you are near casper wyoming and can help

    Forgive my ignorance, but I’m assuming the insurance company just says the truck is a total loss. Would they not “credit” you for the aftermarket parts in their settlement check? Or do they just have a set amount for what they would cut a check for, regardless of stock or mods? Sent from my...
