He owns a Raptor…a damn good looking Raptor if I may add. I think he’s speaking in terms of a ‘24…not owning a ‘24.

Thanks, that makes a LOT more sense. I’m pretty new here so my apologies.He owns a Raptor…a damn good looking Raptor if I may add. I think he’s speaking in terms of a ‘24…not owning a ‘24.
What did you do to your Gen 3 today?
I had 1.5" preload collars on my last 2023 35" Raptor and took them off as the shocks topped out on rebounded pretty hard. Eibach 1.0" springs were far better, however they still were a bit much for the OEM struts rebound damping to properly keep up with. That hasn’t been my experience with the...
I am going in for a 1,000 mile oil/filter. For me, it's a personal preference. Manufacturers will tell you 5K because that is industry standard. I assume most Raptor guys (or gals) are motor heads. I am a motor head. I have vintaged raced for many years, collected performance Fords, etc. A quick oil/filter, and then I am going to start to mash the go pedal. The truck is speced to do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds, so it is no slouch. I plan on exercising it like I do my own body. Within reason, but push it nonetheless.
Yeah, I'm totally ok with personal preference and doing what anyone feels is best for your investment. I don't think industry standard is 5k anymore because ford doesn't state a specific mileage in the manual. I've seen many make statements on when it should be changed but it's not followed with any true data as to why they go against the manufacture's recommendations. Many of us bring our own personal biases, old school knowledge of what we learned from Pop's/Grandpa, etc. I don't fault anyone for thinking the way they do but I always like to understand the why a definitive statement was made on recommendations of what others should do/follow. I'm getting old and still want to learn but give me some explanation as to the why? Even if it's "My PeePa burned sage after every oil change on his 57 Buick and it lasted over 200k so that's what I do!"I am going in for a 1,000 mile oil/filter. For me, it's a personal preference.

One of my past rides. Original TA racecar. Race car motors last about 30 hours, cost a lot to rebuild. An ounce of prevention = a pound of cure.
Remember the SN95 Mustangs? I trashed the driver’s door trim with sun block. Yup, the SPF 30 sun block ate away the interior color on the trim.
I wouldn't say mine "scratches" easily, but leaves marks that have to be cleaned thoroughly unbelievably easily. Every "scratch" or mark I've made so far I've been able to remove with a damp microfiber towel.
Bro... I own one hahah. I have replaced the "door cards" and the dash stereo trim with units from LMR. The interior on the SN95s is the WORST. Im currently trying to figure out if racing seats will make a difference for my 6'8 ass.
