    Avoiding theft

    If you're interested in something other than Ravelco, Sound Evolution (on Westheimer west of BW8) carries IGLA. It's more pricey, but I went with it on my 2023 R because it's almost undefeatable (at least from what I've gathered from talking/reading from knowledgeable sources), and there are no...

    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    Thanks for the detailed response and pictures. Everything looks great - nice work on those mods. I'll dm you if I decide to pull the trigger. And I guess it goes without saying that it's a shame these trucks didn't come from the factory this way.

    Official Raptor R Modification Thread

    Nice work. I'm interested in hearing more about the door handle swap, interior lights (cup holder, etc), and the security pack. Any details you can share on what you did is appreciated.

    Closed

    I just had full Xpel ppf and tint installed by Dynamic Autoworks in Spring. They do excellent work and had me bring the truck back in after a month to check everything. There were a couple of places they weren’t happy with and ended up replacing several of the ppf pieces at no cost to me. I’d...

    Sounds Good Stereo concern

    I'll second the praise for the SGS team. I handed them my R for a month to have the elevated system installed. I went up to visit them at their place and Sage spent about 2 hours with me explaining some of the intricate details of the build and listening to my music in the truck and adjusting...

    Feedback on your R's -- what problems have you experienced thus far?

    I had this happen and it turned out to be a dead bug right on the sensor. Cleaned it up and no more problem.

    Raptor R purchase would you do it again?

    Antimatter with no stickers. Such a clean look.

    how do you launch this truck?

    The R starts cutting power as you approach 108 mph to avoid exceeding the speed rating of the tires, allowing the TRX to make up ground. Otherwise, the R would continue to pull away.

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    I'm doing the glare free update and in the Livinitup spreadsheet, it says to change the APIM values, then perform an APIM reset in Forscan. Can someone please help me understand how to do this reset? Edit: Figured this out

    Best Raptor R (5.2 V8) Oil and Oil Filter

    See if you can find this on the stock Motorcraft 5W50, then compare it to Motorcraft 5W30 full synthetic, among others. In fact, I'd genuinely like to see 5W50 from any brand that has the API emblem.

    Best Raptor R (5.2 V8) Oil and Oil Filter

    There are a lot of discussions about Amsoil Signature not having the API certification. Amsoil helped create the API standards for motor oils back in the 70's, and they still have some API certified oils that they market. However for the Signature line, their explanation is API limits the...

    2011 Supercharged SC For Sale / 78K miles

    I don't have enough posts to put this in the for sale thread, but I've been around for a while and hopefully the mods will allow this (and move it to the right place) and not send me a sternly worded letter. Details: 2011 Blue Flame Supercab Whipple Supercharger Sunroof Just about every option...

    Best Raptor R (5.2 V8) Oil and Oil Filter

    I bought two cases of Amsoil Signature, so that's my plan when I eventually do my first oil change. I also bought several of the upgraded Motorcraft oil filters (PN FL2087). Interested to hear what others are doing.

    Raptor R purchase would you do it again?

    Yep. Absolutely a fantastic truck. The only thing I don’t like is the 1-yr wait with almost no information from Ford, and it sitting in the in production penalty box for 4 months. That should have been done so much better and really is a black mark for Ford, in my opinion. But, I would do it...

    Expected MPG?

    Just averaged 13.0 today with the cruise set at 80 on a roughly 250 mile trip (1/2 tank used btw), and that was also driving into a 10-15 mph steady headwind the entire trip. I’m pleased. My Gen 1 with the Whipple would’ve been 11.5-12.

    Same timeline as mine which was delivered late last week.

    “In Production” thread

    Dealer says it’s filthy but everything looks good. They had two prior Rs come in that had some things that needed work (no details given), but mine is pristine aside from being dirty (exterior). It was in the In Production penalty box from 3/18 to 7/28. Delivered with 35 miles, so I assume...

    What did you do to your Gen 3 today?

    Would love details on PNs and if there was any Forscan involved.
