    New to the Forum. Looking for an Raptor R.

    Yah, this seems like a fact question at this point. Multiple trucks have sold on BaT in the 145-159 range in the past month. Will be interesting to how quickly prices continue to drop.

    Thoughts on new Transmission

    I've no complaint with mine either, 2 weeks and 900mi in. Road trips, commuting, it drives great and the shifts are smooth in normal driving and firmish during hard acceleration. The super tall top gear really helps gas mileage.

    17" Wheel Replacements

    I was in a similar boat and ended up just ordering a set of the OEM beadlocks. They're sold brand new on eBay.

    GEN 2 Owner age poll

    I was planning on getting one for my 15YO daughter. It's her first car, and I want her in something big and safe. She gets her learner's permit in a few weeks. Main question: beadlocks, or standard rims?

    Method vs Factory forged

    Gen II beadlocks are 36.8 lbs each, without center cap or tpms installed. I am in the process of swapping the stock cast wheels for the OEM beadlocks, so it was a convenient time to throw one on a scale.

    Markup hell?!?! Just me???

    There are only two ways this works. Either price rises until buyers drop out and demand equals supply, or you sell at a price below what people are willing to pay, and ration the item. Ferrari is an example of the latter - they sell some of their cars below the price that people are willing to...

    Markup hell?!?! Just me???

    As three data points in Northern California, there's a dealer in Sacramento who is asking $30k ADM for a red 802a SCrew, and a dealer in Sunnyvale asking a $20k ADM for a black 802a SCrew. Theres a black 802a available via a broker at $8000 ADM. And I have an inbound red 802a from my regular...

    I did not get a GT allocation. Thus my 675LT license plate: '8A 4RDGT' [emoji4] A Raptor is however looking likely. PS: no, I won't post a pic of it with bread.

    Flat towing a 2017?

    I'm curious why? I've been flat towing 4WD vehicles for over a decade now; well over 10K miles and exactly zero issues. Not all of them are flat tow capable, but those that are state it in the owners' manual. Jeep JK, GMC Sierra HD, and now Ford F150 -- follow the steps in the manual, put the...

    Flat towing a 2017?

    I found the definitive answer (YES) in the Raptor supplement to the F150 owners' manual. Many thanks to James Ford of Half Moon Bay for getting me the answer: Follow these guidelines if you have a need for recreational towing, such as towing your vehicle behind a motorhome. We designed...
