    First desert run, G2 vs New G3 impressions

    Kudos to you for not being afraid to use your truck. My G2 is so scratched up. They look better with some rock chips and patina.

    Which model is the better off-roader?

    In my opinion it comes down to driving style. Coming from an autocross background I prefer the more nimble set up of the 35s. Any additional rotational mass doesn't do you any favors in the accelerate, break, stop, turn department. I'm sure the 37's have their own benefits in certain scenarios...

    General ETA from build date?

    Ha ... Cool. I’m just hoping I get it before the snow flies. It seems like every new car or truck I order comes the day we get a snow storm in Oregon. Ask me what it is like to drive a shiny new GT350 home in the snow and freezing rain ...

    General ETA from build date?

    Hi, new-is to the forum. I joined back in my gen 1 days, just lurked through my gen 2s life and now on to gen 3. I just got my VIN & an October build date for my all black everything 35 but I can't recall what the expected turn around is from build date to dealers door. Isn't it around 4 weeks...

    Anyone know when a 2021 can be ordered?

    I’m not in a hurry to get rid of my gen 2 but I Put my name on the list for the 2021 yesterday. Dealer said projected for July but everything’s in flux with Covid so keep expectations low.

    Which color and options are you picking?

    My 1st & current 2nd gen are black so I was hoping to stick to the black theme. I want the Recaros and 37’s but do I want them bad enough to suffer with a blue & orange interior ....? No, no I do not. I actually think the blue and orange would look decent on a grey, white or silver ... possibly...

    GEN 2 GEN2 MPG thread...

    16.6 on average in the Gen 2 with 2k miles on the odo. That is what I was getting in my 6.2 Gen 1. Not that impressed by the fuel milage really but it is a hell of a lot faster than my Gen 1 so it's a wash.

    Aftermarket Wheels

    I don't have the twin panel roof. The rack does make a lot more wind noise than it did in my Gen1 Raptor but I just put it on and have yet to trim down the bar ends and try moving it back a bit. The primary culprit is the bike rack. It sticks out pretty far forward.

    GEN 2 Zero Offset Wheels

    Something to consider. I went from stock offset to 0 offset Method Standards on my G1. I often drove my truck hard off-road and never had any rubbing but my first run on gravely BLM roads I came home with ton of rock chips because they stuck out like an inch farther. My black paint looked like a...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    Wondering if anyone has a set of hole shots on their truck? I am torn between the XD Holeshot and Robby Gordon 1. I am finding that depending on the offset the holeshot looks great or kind of like it came off of a collapsable spare.

    Roof rack tower filament questions.

    Hey everyone. My truck is getting here next week and I am transferring my Thule roof racks over from my 2011 Raptor. I know I need a new Fit kit for the bases but there is no part number available for the '17 Raptor if you look it up. There is a number for the standard F-150. I am assuming the...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    G1 and G2 wheel specs are the same. The Holeshot from XD that you posted is made in the OE specs. They're available if you're interested. PM for a quote. Thanks for that. I"ll check those Turbines out. Do you happen to have a weight on those Holeshots? Does anyone know what the stock...

    Aftermarket Wheels

    Hey new-ish guy here. I have a '11 G1 SCREW that I am replacing with a G2 SCREW. I was forced to get the non bead-lock wheels unless I wanted to wait forever for my truck. My truck arrives next week and I am already shopping for new wheels. Not a fan of the silver stock wheels. I am looking for...

    Another black S-Crew

    Thanks. I live in Central Oregon in the Bend area. I live 4 hrs from the beach but am there every month for 3-5 days at a time to kiteboard, surf and standup-paddleboard. There are lots of lakes and rivers close buy that I flatwater SUP as well. I'm 6' and I can reach the center of the roof...

    1300 miles. Loving it. Just installed a Bakflip bed cover and Thule Racks. Ford Light Bar is next, throw my surfboard on top and that should do it for the season.

    How to increase gas mileage

    That's awesome. Doesn't a base '11 Vette get like 26 MPG? You should post up a pic of that Z06. I am thinking about picking up a GS in a year or so for a track toy when depreciation works it's magic.

    How to increase gas mileage

    Hey, new guy here. I just put 1000 miles on my new 2011 S Crew. I seriously love this truck. I'm not too worried about mpg in my trucks but I have a 45 minute commute 3-4 times a week and have been playing the MPG game with my trucks for years just for fun. So far within that 45 minutes on a...
