    Question for those that have their truck

    I've driven my gen1 across country 6 times. 4 on the stock tires and twice on BFG Mud terrain KM2s. Love it as a road trip truck. 60k miles, almost all long road trips. Can't imagine the gen2 would be too different in that regard.

    Off-Roading With Pets

    Been offroading with my dogs my entire life. If they get stressed, they sure don't show it. Life is a balance of risk and reward. Everyone should decide for themselves.

    Stuck Door Locks

    This problem has finally ruined my day. The hottest day in Phoenix has finally left me stranded. Doors opened and got me where I was going, but wouldn't open 10 munites later. So now I'm grumpy and not sure what to do. About ready to break a window. The think that posses me off the most is...

    GEN 2 Aux switch location

    Of course if you're adding, put them where you want. I was referring to the location of the stock switches in the 2017. All the arguments you state are flipped in the 2017. I'm cutting my console else I can't easily access the lights while driving. Again, no benefit to move them.

    GEN 2 Aux switch location

    Hate it. When I'm driving somewhere that might have oncoming traffic but I want to use my aux lighting I'll driven with my fingers on the switches for fast on/off as needed. What value is there having them up high except "looks cool?"

    Wait list & MSRP issue

    If the Gen2 follows a similar pattern to the Gen1, then around here in Phoenix all the Ford dealers were able to put a Raptor on their lot for over MSRP and sell it. When you asked to order, they didn't have any interest in a deal, knowing they could just put it on the lot and get what they...

    First time Raptor owner

    You in Lewiston? I spent the last three summers in Maine. If you happen to have seen a Terrain SCAB with Arizona plate "GUZZLAH" that was me. Almost never saw any other Raptors when I was there. Don't forget to check out the Northeast forums and the Dirty Dozen III thread. Bunch of guys...

    Southwest AZ Owners

    I don't let summer in AZ slow me down. If anything, I'm looking for more chances to get out of the heat so spend a lot of time on the other side of Payson, on the Rim typically around Knoll Lake or towards Crown King, near Horsethief Lake.

    Lowrance Group Buy - Feeler

    Would have been nice to get more in on this. If your friend is happy with the easy sales, please consider another one. You were unsure of the details at first and nailed down 10 people in 5 days. I know I would have joined but didn't get in on time. I'm sure a ton of people would sign up if...

    The one and only radio thread

    Well organized runs should also put anyone with handheld in the middle. Always higher powered units in the front and rear. Designate someone to relay in the middle of the group gets large. I've had good luck with handhelds as long as no one gets snobby. Ain't no one got time for that. Sent...

    Who wants to come check out the 2017 Raptor?

    I am local. In San Diego for vacation till the 29th, but I'm typically available anytime. Definitely would like to check it out. I keep telling myself I'll wait to buy a new one but I'm sure when I see one, this beat up old 2013 I've been driving around won't cut it. Especially if the new...

    Who wants to come check out the 2017 Raptor?

    I would love to swing by and take a look. Is it hidden away and only on display for this "event" you are trying to put together?

    Stuck Door Locks

    I have not mentioned it, since as I said, I have been on vacation during the peak of the heat. I'll definitely need to, since I'll probably stay local this year. I'm hoping I'm not the only one in AZ that has the hear affect their locks. My truck is a 2013 with about 50k on the clock...

    Stuck Door Locks

    Both my locks jam on hot days. Any time it sits for a bit in 90 plus. Hasn't ruined my day yet since I have been spending summers in Maine and it has only been one at a time. I'm sure it will eventually leave me stranded though. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    40" light bar behind grille?

    Had to fab brackets but I got two 40 inch bars. The first is great but the second doesn't add much. Currently doesn't seem worth the money and effort but I am going to experiment with the aim. Like one up and the other down. Anyone else have any thoughts on this area?

    Moisture and Corrosion in camera wiring harness.

    I'm having similar issues. My front camera has been not working for about a month. The rear camera has started showing signs of an intermittent connection issue, and the battery is now giving me trouble. Yesterday, my stereo stopped working. Does anyone know where these harnesses connect...

    Transmission temp while at dunes

    Easy driving with cruise control on the highway at 60ish and my temps hover around 200 for many many hours. That is the normal range.

    6.2L with Volant CAI Humiliated by Harley Davidson series F250 with custom tune

    I have intake, exhaust, and tune along with BFG MT KM2's (35x12.5) and run them at 15psi in the sand at Glamis. Never have any problems being among the fastest out there, with the exception of machines running paddles.

    Hoosier National Forest Trip - Interest Check

    Bummer. I typically spend summers in Maine and drive the Raptor from Arizona. I stop and camp in Hoosier for cheap lodging along the way. Probably be another month or so before I'm in the area. Wish the dates lines up better.

    Air down tires

    I run 25 psi on dirt forest roads here in AZ. Many of these roads have large rocks and I run them hard and fast. I'll often air down to ~15 when I'm running on jeep trails and over big rocks and boulders. I occasionally head to the dunes and I run ~15 there too, again, I drive hard and fast...

    Stuck Door Locks

    Did you get this resolved? I'm having what appears to be the same problem. Sorry to hijack. If my trouble seem different I'll be happy to open a new thread. I'm convinced it is not electrical and is mechanical. When the problem occurs, even trying to open from the inside by pulling the...

    Mid perch why?

    I see where you're coming from, but as awesome as these trucks are, there is also plenty of improvement to be had. Often the manufacturer makes compromises. Even the great SVT team. If the truck was perfect no one would ever do any mods or upgrades.

    Top Perch to Mid Perch 2014

    Same as every other shiftable 4x4. Locking hubs. The Raptor does this automatically through the IWE. Wheel end disengages in 2wd and spins freely. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk

    One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

    I saw big increases after intake (Volant w/Donaldson), exhaust (Rouch), and tune (5Star). I get 17 highway when I'm not getting on it. Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk
