    GEN 2 Top 10 Floor Mats - which do you have?

    My previous truck was a 15 F-150 and I bought floor mats from Ford. I liked those mats better than the Raptor ones. The Raptor ones are okay and better than the carpet ones that come with regular F-150s, but seem like a step down than the optional Ford mats.

    Interior Storage Ideas/Suggestions

    I have something like this. Not sure of the brand. It also creates a cavity under the backrest of the seat for storage as well. I have quite a bit of stuff organized with this system and like it.

    Armrest cover

    I think I tend to drive with my right hand on the shifter. Too many years of driving a stick I guess. So I never thought about wear and tear on the console cover.

    GEN 2 $90k for Shelby Baja Raptor

    My neighbor has one and it's pretty cool. Hard for me to justify the cost as others have said b/c the options are pretty widely available a la carte for much cheaper. But, if you want a package deal and no headaches it might make sense.

    Trade Gen1 and my GT350R for Gen 2?

    i was faced with a similar situation and decided to just keep a truck since i rarely drove the sports car after getting the truck.

    DIY Bed Storage by Tailgate

    I'm considering adding some D-rings to the bed via the factory bolts and then strap down a tool box for recovery gear when needed.

    DIY Bed Storage by Tailgate

    Hah. I work from home, so I'm lucky that not much has changed for me or my family during this apocalypse. What I really need to do is get away from home and hit the road. :)

    DIY Bed Storage by Tailgate

    This is a simple project meant for the daily use (not off roading). Will work with any current model F150. Shortly after I bought by previous F150 (2015 Lariat), I put a 2x6 in the bed wall slots as a divider to help keep stuff near the tailgate. I live in a real hilly area so nothing just...

    Wooden Raptor Model

    I thought it was going to be a kit and thought to myself it be a PITA to assemble. So, wow! Some serious skills and patience. And he's good at making videos to boot.

    2020 Remote Start

    Hate to ask this, but did you lock the door first from the fob? You have to do that even if the door is already locked.

    Did you get a few free oil changes with your new truck?

    It will open a separate browser window. It's pretty clear that Ford spends it resources on vehicle design and not apps. I've searched a couple of times for accessories I might want to apply my points towards, but so far no luck on how to do it. And, when it directs you to the accessories...

    Special order discount pricing?

    I'm in Austin, TX. I bought mine recently from Covert Ford b/c the other big dealer in town all had exterior graphics. I don't know what invoice is, but I got about 6750 off of MSRP less than 3 weeks ago.

    New Purchase Ford/Dealer Survey

    When the sales manager called, he first said something like "what can we do to make things right?" or something like that. My immediate impression was that he was willing to give me something in exchange for redoing the survey. I didn't respond to that and instead just asked him if there was...

    New Purchase Ford/Dealer Survey

    Agreed. I tend to ignore most surveys b/c I feel like they should figure out that on their own, without burdening me. And, the questions on surveys are often off target for what I think is important anyway.

    New Purchase Ford/Dealer Survey

    The whole thing seems to be absurd, and Ford must know it. The fact that getting less than perfect scores is going to seriously hurt the salesperson or dealer is ridiculous. Not only is any process never going to be perfect on a routine basis, but buying a car usually sucks to begin with and...

    Taking my truck to Work?

    In defense of the OP, I have had similar thoughts myself. I work remotely so most of us have no idea what each other drives, but some of us do talk about cars and trucks. I recently got a promotion and now supervise a guy I am pretty good friends with, and he had a hard time with that change...

    Did you get a few free oil changes with your new truck?

    I got something in the mail this week from my dealer saying I was enrolled in some program and that I get 4 free oil changes in the next two years. That never came up during negotiations, so it was a nice surprise. This dealer's oil changes are $50 (with tire rotation and inspections), and...

    New Purchase Ford/Dealer Survey

    I don't doubt that the sales guy has skin in the game. Do you know what affect it has on the dealer?

    Raptor Smartcap

    Thanks for the list. I would agree on the convenience factor but only in the context of setting up camp and not leaving it. I've had an RV (the kind you drive, not pull), so I know what it's like to stop and be camping while also feeling that you can't leave. It really does depend on what...

    New Purchase Ford/Dealer Survey

    TLDR: Does anyone know how the dealership and sales people are affected by surveys after the sale? I assume everyone who bought their Raptor new from a dealer received a survey about their sales experience. I have done these for the last few cars we bought so I'm familiar with the notion that...

    Dealers selling 2020's at invoice

    I just bought a 2020 Raptor and got about 6750 off MSRP. Both of the big dealerships in my area have similar pricing. New car sales are very slow right now for obvious reasons. Cracked me up when the sales guy I used tried to pressure me with "there's a buying frenzy right now". OMG, these...

    Thoughts on trading '18 Raptor for new '19/'20 Limited?

    I just traded in my 2015 Lariat on a 2020 Raptor. I was waiting for the 2021 redesign to come out and probably get a KR or Limited or maybe another Lariat. I really liked the idea of a Limited b/c of the motor. But then when I realized I could get a great deal on the Raptor (big discounts off...

    Raptor Smartcap

    I've seen these on various sites and I'm curious about the appeal over just using a tent, cot, etc. For the same price you can get some very nice camping gear and use less space. Not knocking it, so don't get me wrong. Just wondering...
