2018 Gen 2. Just hit 100k miles. Waiting on the wife the other day, well of course she took about 45 minutes longer than planned. Anyway, truck idled for 45 minutes. As we left we got a very strong burnt oil smell. Like oil dripping on exhaust pipe type smell (had those before!). Happened...

Sorry if this vid is already posted - didn’t see it anywhere. This came off Instagram. 30mph head on test. Raptor, Wrangler and Taco did well. Wrangler was a beast and practically laughed at the test. Like the dump truck hit a wall… TRX goes up in flames…

2018 Gen 2 - tailgate release button stopped working. Fob control still works. I replaced the actuator (because it was easy, not necessarily logical). Still no joy. Trucks been at the dealership 2 days, apparently they think executing the unintended tailgate release recall TSB will fix it. But...

Hoping someone on RF is a horn expert or at least knows a bit about the circuit… There are 4 contacts on the back of the airbag unit. Bottom two seem to work fine for me, top two - no horn. In other words, if I push REALLY hard at the bottom of the pad and it works, but nothing if I push on...

I did a search of "brake life" on the forum, nothing really popped up (I am skeptical this topic is new) so point to a thread on this if it exist... I am at 74,900 miles - just had a check-up at my dealership. I always ask about the brakes, figure I have to be close to at least a new set of...

I know a guy that made the Boulder to KC run today in 7 parsecs. Made it in time to see the Chiefs first TD. Said his Raptor performed flawlessly.

Almost Halloween so scary story time. Took my pontoon to winter storage today. Underground cave, narrow passages and apparently guy thought I was a trailer backup wizard so he guides me to a spot I thought was impossible. Now, I like a challenge as much as the next guy. I chickened out and...

I might be a doofus for asking about this so go easy… Drove from KC to Boulder yesterday. Out in western KS and eastern CO, I-70 is horrible. The Raptor was bouncing all over the place, I have never experienced that before anywhere (MO, OK, TX, IL, TN, KY, AR, etc). So I had a thought, checked...

So just noticed today my front plate has disappeared. Stolen! At least they didn’t damage the bumper. In MO a front plate is required, sucks but IT’S THE LAW. Even though it’s a Raptor, it figures I have what’s basically a black F150, probably the most common vehicle on US roads. My guess...

If anyone has replaced your steering wheel trim piece and kept the old one, I am looking for one. Mine looks horrible now, I want to see what I can fabricate a new one out of composites but I need an extra to make a mold. Condition is basically irrelevant, just can't be broken or cracked...

Anyone know the formula or calc for “range to Empty”? just drove KC to Nashville, started at 520 range to empty and roughly 12mpg. By the time I was 400 miles down the road was up to 16.2mpg with 120 RTE. So my range went up to 520. Does it use current trip avg mpg along with tank size?

Received my shipment of carbon fiber interior trim pieces from California Pony Cars. For some reason my stock pieces just started looking crappy - my truck was originally a Florida truck so maybe that sun or UV light was hard on it (who knows). I am blown away, these pieces are beautiful...

!!! SOLD !!! I hate to give it up, but I am selling my Cobb AP3 with ECM/TCM tuning. $800 plus shipping. This was on my 2018 802a. location KC, MO It's like new, I just purchased it in late October 2020. I have fully un-installed from my truck. Look, I really love this thing and I had...

2018 802a with 46k miles. Just noticed today my steering wheel trim is showing some signs of wear - see pics. Anyone else having this issue? I wear my ring, but it’s pretty smooth. Anyone painted or powder coated their wheel? Any pics?

Searched the forum but didn't find anything but references about this. I have read in a couple threads that when starting a Gen2: pushing the gas pedal to the floor & holding it pressing the start button for 5-10 seconds steps above force oil to the top of the engine First, I am curious if...

I swapped out my 2018 ice blue ambient lights for the multi-color LEDs. I have 10 ice blue only harness/LEDs if anyone is looking to add these lights. They all worked perfectly when removed. $50 for all 10 plus shipping (probably <$10 unless West Coast and it might be more). PM me with...

So watching the Chiefs game and see a commercial for the Chevy Trail Boss. In fact a couple of them. Curious how it compared to a Raptor. Found this link below. See, when I bought the Raptor I didn’t know the Chevy was a MAN’S TRUCK. That’s their best shot...

This is the link to my eBay post for my full set of 10 Ice Blue ambient lights. Asking $225 but if you are interested shoot me an offer. I swapped out my original Ice Blue lights for a set of 2017 lights (multicolor). I paid $370 for the full set from Tasco and White Bear...

2018 802a, 45k miles. Noticed a chirp sound on cold weather (30 degree) start: 1. Starts fine, purrs like a kitten 2. Warm up about 30 seconds 3. Fast idle drops, then 4 short chirps 4. Consistently does this but only noticed it when it’s colder outside The video below was edited to...

My Raptor is a 2018 802a, early build date (Nov 2017), approximately 42K miles, replaced cam phasers in March 2020. No tunes, all stock. I rarely get on the gas in this truck, drive it pretty easy. About July 2020 , approximately 10-20 seconds after start-up, a clicking noise starts. I...

I checked around and saw similar topics on other forums, not much on FRF. If I missed it, point me that way! 2018 802a with 38K miles. A/C startup blast out vinegar smell - definitely from the A/C. Found some "solutions" to the problem out there "on the line", so far I have tried: 1. new...
