    GEN 2 Can a Gen2 tow the StarCraft super light 262RL?

    Excellent choice. Having respected the tow rating of your Raptor I think you will be very pleased towing with it. I use an Andersen WD hitch and AirLift 1000 bags on my Gen 3 to reduce the squat and am very pleased with both of these products. Andersen hitch also does well at providing sway...

    Bags completely eliminate the squat. With the recommended 5psi in the bags with no added load on the truck it feels the same to me as it did prior to installing the bags. This comment is based on street driving and modest dirt roads. I do not do any extreme off road driving so can’t comment on...

    Gen 3 Clunk Sound When Shifting to 4A or 4H From 2H on the Fly

    My foot is still on the accelerator but steady state. Speed between 10 and 40 mph. I'll have to try it while letting off the accelerator to see if there is any difference.

    Gen 3 Clunk Sound When Shifting to 4A or 4H From 2H on the Fly

    When I shift my 2022 EB Raptor from 2H to either 4A or 4H on the fly I hear a clunk sound as it engages. Just one clunk and it seems fine but I would expect it to not make any noise. Is this clunk sound normal?

    Anyone install IGLA anti theft device?

    My installer told me no wires would be cut. My understanding is that the insulation was stripped on some wires and the IGLA was spliced in. I could be wrong on this.

    Anyone install IGLA anti theft device?

    I hear ya on that and did wrestle with this point when deciding whether to install IGLA or not. I know Ravelco is more straight forward but did not like the idea of physically cutting wires. With the IGLA no wires were cut for the install and it's only a few connections where it ties into the...

    Anyone install IGLA anti theft device?

    Any functionality issues with your IGLA? On my 2022, the truck does not shut down when you shift into gear after remote starting about 95% of the time. When it lets you put it in gear and drive away the headlights flicker and the headlamp setting comes on and off on the instrument panel. It...

    Airbags?

    I use a single fill valve for both bags. Made up a simple little bracket that I located to the left of the left rear tow hook. Held in place with existing bolt. Since I want both bags to be at equal pressure saw no need for two fill valves. If two fill valves are desired this could be...

    Anyone try the AirLyft air bags?

    Yes the red bag within the coils rated for 1000 pounds. On a side note, I now inflate to 27 psi before hooking up the trailer based on info provided by others that it is recommended to pre-inflate before loading per Airlift. However, I've noticed no benefit over hooking up before inflating to...

    Rear bumper adjustment

    I posted a similar question some months back and got a couple of useless replies. Glad to see you got some good info. The video shows having to remove the plastic tread plate. Based on your experience would it be possible to access the necessary bolts without removing it? Seems crazy that we...

    2024 color options any info yet ?

    Yeah, CO is what drew me to the Raptor over all the other F150s on the lot when shopping. A test drive sealed the deal.

    Anyone tow with their Gen 3 yet?

    The higher the rear axle ratio is numerically the better for towing. Max tow package highest ratio is 3.73, Raptor has 4.11. However, Raptor higher gear ratio is mainly to offset the effect of the larger diameter tires so it doesn't feel slow off the line. When the larger diameter Raptor...

    Anyone install IGLA anti theft device?

    After seeing some info on how easily modern cars with touch entry and push button start can be stolen using a code repeater I don't want to park my Raptor anywhere out in public. As a short term solution while I research anti theft options I have pulled the battery from my key fob. I use the...
