    Trading in Gen 2 - do you strip exterior mods?

    Unfortunately, I have to trade my 2020. I put the Off-road Alliance triple bezel fog light bracket on and wired those to the auxiliary switches. I also put some lights below the rear bumper for backing up and also wired to the switches. Would y’all remove those and sell separately? Or install...

    Family is maybe outgrowing Raptor

    I bought the Raptor when it was just the wife, my 9-year old daughter, and me. Since then we’ve added two big dogs (one 75 lbs pitsky and one 100 lbs GSD), a baby, and we’re talking now about another child in a couple of years. As it currently is, we’re pretty cramped. Any ideas on how to fit...

    Back seat gets no AC. Normal?

    My 2020 has been great. My biggest complaint is the heat/AC for the back seat. I live in Texas and feel like my daughters and dogs in the back are going to die without more air. Is mine broken or is this normal? If normal, is there a fix? It’s hot as balls and I have ceramic tint everywhere. Thanks.

    DRL Forscan Tweak Question

    I tweaked with Forscan a bit and have the DRL lights as the amber/parking lights only. Is it possible to have all of those plus the headlights on? Just like “night time” lights? Thank you.

    Disabled fake engine sound

    Finally got an old PC and did some forscan tweaks. Lincoln mirrors, global up/down windows, disable start chime, and DRLs. Then I decided to drive 4 hours round trip to get some furniture, disabling the fake engine noise halfway through the trip. It was noticeable but not the biggest difference...

    Screws under wheel well fender

    So when they were redoing some of the PPF, they removed the stock screws that were in the wheel well just below the fender. Does anyone know what these screws are? Are they special to Ford or can I go get some at Home Depot or an auto parts store. Thank you. The picture isn’t mine, just a...

    Steering wheel peeling/scratched

    Anyone else have this issue? Can anything be done to prevent this from peeling more? It’s not 2 years old yet.

    Raptor in small accident, body shop or dealer?

    The wife was hit by a dummy in a Tesla who wasn’t paying attention. Everyone is fine and the woman’s insurance seems to be cooperating nicely. All damage is on the drivers side: front bumper where fog lights are (inlcuding wrecking the Offroad Alliance 3 bezel light kit), part of the body around...

    Suspension looks odd

    I snapped this pic when I was parking my wife’s car behind the Raptor. The left and right rear shocks look different, like there’s a sleeve on the left side or something. Is this normal?

    My GSD hates the neighbor’s Shelby Raptor

    I have a year old German Shepherd and she’s a sweetheart. She loves my Raptor when she hears it because it either means I’m home or taking her somewhere. However, a guy in the neighborhood has a Gen2 Shelby Raptor, same color, and she HATES it. She charges it, tries to attack, barks like a...

    Computer reset while driving?

    Short: drove through large puddle, engine didn’t stall but Sync (computer or battery?) rest while driving? Should I worry? Longer: Last night I was a tad reckless and sped through this huge puddle - I’d gone through it before but after yesterday’s thunderstorms in central Texas, it was much...

    Front license plate vs. intercooler

    Is there really a difference in day-to-day driving if the front plate is placed where Ford designed it to go? I have to run the front plate. I don’t like the offset one (smarfworks); the sto n sho looks fine but it still blocks half that intercooler. Does it really matter? I mean, I could always...

    Forscan - Unfold mirrors at 5mph?

    I keep seeing “Lincoln mirrors” as a common Forscan mod and while that’s great most of the time, many times I fold the mirrors in because the truck is a bit wide, so having them auto-unfold upon start would not be wise. Is it possible to set the mirrors to unfold at 5-10mph?

    First oil change where to go

    Bought my truck in July, just hit 5,000 miles of highway driving and need an oil change. I bought in a different state so I have no dealership loyalty here in Austin. I’ve seen people on the forums here recommend buying a better filter and oil and taking it to Jiffy Lube (or the like) and having...

    WTB: Bed Extender with all required hardware

    Bought my 2020 but forgot to get the bed extension. Any help would be appreciated. Also, local to Austin so Texas or shipped would be ideal. :)

    Carry weight? Ignorant truck Q...

    Hello! Please forgive the ignorant question, I have never had a truck and am coming up with some conflicting advice from friends and answers on the internet. I’m moving my stuff to Texas. Professional movers are coming but my wife and I have a lot of books so I’d like to put some boxes in my...

    I did it

    I have been lurking on the forums since late 2018, created an account in January this year, and bought my Raptor on Monday. Still haven’t named him but just put 1800 miles on during the drive back from Arkansas to LA (moving to Austin in 2 weeks). Went with magnetic and am so glad I did! Lovely...

    Help...can't decide on a gray

    This truck looks great in all colors. I'm torn between leadfoot and magnetic. Not sure I like the leadfoot in direct sunlight...and I'm moving to Central Texas. Wife hates leadfoot (but this is my truck and she said do what I want). I'm thinking either Xpel Stealth or Xpel Ultimate....the...
