Just got a gen2 can I take it to a car wash ?

[Raptorjv]

Hey. Called the local car washes here in queens ny. They all said the raptor will fit. I have fuel 20” wheels with nitto tires that make it a tad bit wider than stock. I’m nervous to take it.

thoughts ?

Rule #1 do not take your raptor through a automatic car wash...
More rules to follow.. lol

Wash by hand or at a car wash with a pressure washer. I have taken mine through a touchless one, once, just to get the road salt off, but that's it.

Antenna can get ripped off if not touchless.

Spray booth is the best.

I use a drive through auto car wash all the time. It’s a truck, after all. My car wash is a newer build—maybe it is good to go on track width? Never noticed any issues, and it fits in the tracks.

Depends on the individual car wash. I have two in my area that are built to handle larger vehicles. Ford only puts that in the manual for liability reasons. As for scratches, I get way more using it off-roading than a car wash will ever do. It's just a truck....
