    2021+ Gen 3 Raptor OFFICIAL Eibach Spring Kits Now Available!

    Ahh interesting, I didn’t realize they cut compression travel in the shock. Makes the bigger bump stop make sense to prevent slamming the shock. Seems crazy since the 35 trucks don’t seem to have rubbing or bottom out issues with 37s.

    2021+ Gen 3 Raptor OFFICIAL Eibach Spring Kits Now Available!

    Semi-related question here. Has anyone compared the 35 and 37 shocks side by side? It seems like the reduced travel on the 37 may be attributed just to a taller bump stop, not a completely different shock with reduced travel. Since the 35 trucks seem to fit 37s with no problem, it seems to...

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    IMO RE in SoCal right now is gambling on capital appreciation. The cost vs rent delta is way outside what I consider making sense. Someone is going to get caught holding a nasty hot potato. I’ve gotten out of everything I bought post 2013. All the 2009-2013 stuff is fat and happy on the...

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    Similar but different. CMA is more internal/corporate.

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    Still, kids and money. I’m guessing CMA = Accountant. Good gig at 22 but he should work a couple years and go for an MBA and/or JD.

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    Kids and money. At least he got a truck. I bought a viper at his age and used it as a daily for a few years. I’m glad I survived that lol.

    Trying so hard to like the Gen 3 but.....

    I hope they are a huge improvement, the gen 2 lights leave a lot to be desired. Directional lights are awesome, but man, be sitting down if you ever need to replace one. They are $$$$$

    How much taller than a Gen 2?

    37s look cooler, thats it, end of story. How many people pull 30k lbs with an F350, or take a Z06 or GT3 to the track? I’d bet sub 5% in both cases, but they sell a shit pile of them all. Give customers what they want, not your job to sort out what they “need”.

    Gen 3 2021 Ford Raptor with 37's has a different frame, than 2021 Raptor with 35's

    They want to minimize combinations. As it appears the 37 trucks will all be extremely similar builds so that streamlines the whole production process. I’m 100% with you guys the blue interior sucks. I’d pay more to get the recaros with an all black interior. Keep the orange stitching but...

    Gen 3 2021 Ford Raptor with 37's has a different frame, than 2021 Raptor with 35's

    Have you been paying attention for the last 10 years? This is the MO for virtually every car company. Hell Ferrari hits you for $4k to add CarPlay lol.

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    That’s some bizarre cross shopping. I have a duramax and while it’s a great truck, the new ones do nothing for me on multiple levels. Diesel shopping, Ram 3500 single wheel (because it gets the HO and Aisin, where the 2500 is detuned) or a 6.7 F250 would be top of my list. Throw $5k at...

    Gen 3 2021 Ford Raptor with 37's has a different frame, than 2021 Raptor with 35's

    If I know anything about the aftermarket, they will have a replacement bumper section that lets the 35 trucks fit a 37” spare.

    RAPTOR "R" Package coming soon

    There are so many inaccuracies in this post, I almost feel bad if you actually believe them. The FGT being the most egregious reasoning. But whatever makes you feel better.

    2021 Raptor info from my dealership

    I’m fine with them making the 37 be exclusive to the 802A, at least the first year. But damn let us get a standard black interior. If the Recaros just had a blue center or trim It would be easier to stomach, but the dash, console, etc is just too much.

    2021 Raptor info from my dealership

    Same, is it just bump stops? An do both retain the 4.10 gears, or does the 37 come with 4.30s?

    2021 Raptor info from my dealership

    Orange, AM Blue, RAr, all awesome until you have to mix it with that funky blue interior. And no magnetic makes me sad. [emoji17]

    Gen 3 2021 Ford Raptor with 37's has a different frame, than 2021 Raptor with 35's

    37 also get the beadlock wheels. I really hope they don’t force that horrible blue interior on the 37.

    Towing

    Conventional is a standard bumper pull. Nobody putting a gooseneck behind a raptor (or any half ton IMO), leave that to the big boys. 11k WD will pull a nice dump trailer though and that’s a huge perk.

    Damn, no R for quite a while. The upgrades to the V6 sure look great!

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    I get that 100% and love them. By Special I meant it’s not a limited run highly desirable vehicle that has a chance of being a collector item. Hell even the FGT barely hits that mark. They are awesome, but it’s still essentially a production truck. Drive the wheels off it and enjoy yourself.

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    I don’t get this at all. You want one vehicle to maintain value, the trade off is not enjoying what you bought. So you spend more money on a depreciating asset, more taxes, insurance, reg, maintenance, etc. And then spend more time in a car you don’t really enjoy. It’s a raptor, neat but...

    GEN 2 TerribleONE's 2020 build thread

    Awesome build, but man that front end looks maxed out. Would probably work better if you dropped it an inch or so.

    2nd Gen Ford Raptor vs Ram TRX

    The other aspect, if you care, is the ram interior is miles ahead of everything else with a bed. It’s close to a nice German sedan. Once Ford steps it up the Raptor will be the ticket. I love the look of the raptor and everything else, even fine with the V6, but the interior needs a big upgrade.
