Probably co-launch the size with the gen 4 raptor

I already have a deposit in for the Raptor Mustang mach-e

i didnt realize chatgpt had an opinion....

is askjeeves not an option anymore?

Ford and fox do have a “technology demonstrator” built by rtr which is one off lightning with custom raptor running gear. Obv the next raptor isn’t going to be full electric but clearly they are studying how to build shocks to handle battery weight and still do raptor stuff. I expect them to...

First thing I would try is just a key cycle. The time mine stopped at the next stop light turned truck off, cracked door to shut it down, truck back on and it was fine.

yup, the inability to calibrate an opinion to the bigger picture Ford: makes minor change to the headlight, barely different Any Car Forum: I HATE this they RUINED it, barf emoji. + [INSERT reference to stereotypical design language from different brand/continent] its either exactly perfect...

to be fair (poor word choice) the intro of a new model/refresh on a limited prod vehicle is typically where ADMs live, gouging the folks that "gotta have the first one off the truck" its when they last deep into the model cycle that we know something is wrong with the supply/demand greed pricing...

Kinda... depends on the semantics your dealer is using Officially an accepted order means it doesnt have any errors in it. Dealers can take as many as they want. the key dependency is if the dealer has an allocation. When the allocation comes up Ford will directly reach out to the dealer and...

if you can get them to give you the rail car number you can call the rail companies own tracking hotline and get the exact location. i tend to believe the farthest along piece of information you can get. Think about it like this, tracking systems can take hours or days to run data refresh but...

You will probably have better luck buying them off a 37 or R owner who went to custom wheels…. (23 37 and R shared the same wheels)

From a pure technology standpoint, being able to control a second dimension of the suspension, yes objectively better. How much real world difference it makes across use cases TBD, but it will make some level of difference across all of them. For me the baseline assumption has to be that...

Overall I like the 24 37 over my CO 23 37, but not enough to trade for 1MY update. From POV of someone who generally keeps vehicles stock or very near stock prefer 24: Heads up display black recaros (tho after seeing/driving the blue ones at assault I liked them more than I thought, wish I...

Do the 24s have an updated head unit vs the 21-23 or just the latest software

They started using a new location this past summer for the Baja course/jump/hill/tilt/drive mode stuff that ford or they bought. Guess they moved the hq out of the industrial park now.

Yea that’s generally the idea. Current gen powerboost is good for 430hp/570lbft using the std 3.5, that is with a 47hp electric motor pair a next gen power boost (maybe plug in?) with more electric power to a further updated HO ecoboost and we could be looking at something like 550hp/650lbft...

I think it’s more likely than not ford wants it to be a powerboost hybrid. They already have a full electric technology demonstrator out there. So ford and fox are working on shocks etc to handle the heavier load with batteries. Whether it comes to pass remains to be seen. Otherwise we are...

Hasn’t ford already announced or “leaked” this, I assumed it was fact at this point. The gen 14 f150 (which the gen 3 raptor is a variant of) last model year is 2026, the gen 15 f150 will go into production in 2026 as a 2027 model. The gen 4 raptor will therefore be a 2027 model f150….

Not 1/2 model year, probably more like 7/8. But your thoughts around carry over are most likely still accurate. Only change i would expect is a color swap or two

Echoing above. the shelter green truck from the 24 press release and photos is a 37, no special graphics for the 37 this time around

We had a deeper discussion with the instructors at assault on this topic, it’s not so much jumping in 4WD itself is the risk. The big issue is being on the throttle or brakes during landing. Through the chat we had: 1)when done right 4wd not that much different in stress than 2wd 2) when it’s...

the data point I look at, ford just ran the Baja 1000 in a stock 24 raptor R… seemed to do just fine.(minus cage, wheels, etc for safety) I look at it this way: torsen diff goal is to transfer torque to the outside drive wheel during a turn as the inside wheel binds/slips at speed on loose...

@madcoil is in Canada… in canada they are fixing them all, in the us they only said they would fix the lightning

I think your best bet to find it is poking around the general gen14 f150 forums…. There is a thread dedicated to folks upgrading the hvac to get the lit numbers and from memory the instructions were there

Truth. there are low % use cases but it definitely would be helpful in soft sand and deep snow. Especially on inclines where speed is low and momentum+grip is a challenge. I’m not an engineering expert so I don’t really know if the size tradeoff vs the open diff (or torsen) is meaningful but I...
