It sucks that he didn’t ditch the 37’s to beat the TRX. He only lost by half a car length.

That’s what I thought... at least until Deaver said it was better with the block per the post I quoted.

Now I’m lost. I thought the blocks were a cheap way to add some height and that the correct way to do it was with more leaf spring altitude but I’m far from being a leaf spring expert.

Overall, it’s sounding like it’s easier to add a few hundred pounds of payload capacity to a Raptor than add a lot of Raptor capability to a Tremor. The F350 I drove had such poor handling. It actually reminded me of a thirty some foot UHaul I rented a while back. Maybe I need to test drive a...

Congrats! Nice looking truck! When did you order? I ordered mine in early March and they are still saying it’s gonna be another month.

Thanks for all the replies! I only was looking at a Tremor due to the Raptor's low payload capacity. Maybe I can address this with Deaver HD's or Icon's though... I need maybe 1500lbs total, not what some of these HD trucks are rated to so maybe a 250 is overkill. Another benefit is that...

As most of you know, after the debacle with my Raptor in the hands of the lead technician at Ford, I now have a brand new Raptor on the way supposed to arrive next month. However, I’ve been thinking about getting a Tremor + Carli suspension instead. Just like the Raptor, the Tremor would cost...

I agree with what everyone has said so far. I ordered my MY20 raptor in Mid March. Just got an update this week. Build will start 6/28 and I’ll have it late July/early August but I’m thinking that’s optimistic. After all I went through, I was sitting down with the owner of the dealership chain...

Great pictures! I really like the wheels. I bit the bullet and ordered my new Raptor with factory beadlocks. Not a fan of the base wheels in the 2020

The ol “does he even own a Ford Raptor” strategy. You must be desperate. I thought he stated his reasons pretty well already. Why don’t you tell him why each reason on his list is technically incorrect?

Wow, that’s a pretty exhaustive list!

And this is why the Raptor I just ordered does not have a moonroof. Not that this is scientific or anything, but if you type “F150 sunroof” into google and let it auto complete, the suggestions are: Stuck Repair For sale TSB Issues Lube Reviews Rattle Won’t open

I would also like to know. It mentions 120 walls so I would guess they are more structural than basic sliders. That’s good to know so if the Ford skids at “dealer cost” are still more expensive, I’ll just purchase the Foutz

i am also waiting on a 2020 ordered two weeks ago. Where did you hear that the plant is closed? I hadn’t heard this but I’ve had no contact with the dealership. I talked to the head of the dealership chain and he said he was in a meeting at Ford HQ where they announced there would be no 2021MY...

I agree. I already have the console safe that I will carry over from my 2019 and I’m a huge fan! I park at trailheads a lot where smash and grabs occur so secure storage is a must. I’ll have to look up what the hood deflector looks like on a blue raptor

Maybe that’s the direction I should go since they are probably about the same price in the end. I am planning to add an ADD stealth fighter front bumper. Do you know if they work with that? Normally I would agree but in this case, it’s part of a legally binding agreement and NDA so I doubt...

As part of the negotiating for my new Raptor, I threw into the deal that I could buy all Ford warranties/accessories at dealer cost. I've been looking at the Ford Performance website and noticed a nice skid plate package. Is anyone running these...

I have an 802a. Maybe this pic will help.

I did it myself. Went slow and probably took 4 hours. Had to order an add-a-fuse from amazon. Only regret is I should’ve mounted the rear camera upside down. In the software, you can flip it. Mounting it upside down would’ve let me run the wire more discretely since it would’ve came out of the...

It’s a Uniden R3. From the testing results I’ve seen, it competes with the most expensive detectors and is not too pricey. Lots of good features. The mount goes to the rear view mirror stem. It’s some no name brand from amazon.

Sounds like you need a more covert dash cam install.

It’s a BlackVue so pretty low profile to begin with. Also I had the radar detector in the pictures below out of the truck during service. Still can’t believe I have a new Raptor on the way and a new trip to Raptor Assault in my future! Thanks again for all the help guys!

Since I had never been through this before, Crunchtime2k reached out to me and talked me through how these things work. Thanks to him and lots of great advice on here, a 2020 Raptor is on its way! This time I left the %#*>@ sunroof out! Again, really sorry but I gave the dealer my word that I...

I would now consider the situation to be resolved. The GM bent over backwards to make things right. I am really impressed with his professionalism. I’ve agreed not to ever post the video. The owner worked so hard to fix things, I wouldn’t want any negative publicity to come to his business as...

Met with the GM/owner on Saturday. He has been very reasonable and willing to work with me. Still considering all my options as of now but I will be getting rid of the truck for sure.
