    GEN 2 Why does the bluetooth phone interface suck so bad?

    Thanks man!! Did not know that. I’ll look up how to do that.

    GEN 2 Why does the bluetooth phone interface suck so bad?

    Change your wife’s name in your contacts to just “Wife”. Now when you use the voice commands just say, “Call my wife, mobile/home/work, etc....” I use CarPlay and contacts come up there.

    Anyone Line X their Fender Flares?

    For the Gen 2s, don’t forget to spray the small lower rear panel between the rear fender flare and rear bumper. IMO, it ties it all in better...plus that part catches a lot of crud coming off the rear wheels.

    Anyone Line X their Fender Flares?

    I did mine and so far so good after a year. I thought they’d be a PIA to clean but they don’t hold dirt/grime any more than the rest of the truck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    GEN 2 Wiring Upfitter switches

    My work PC won't let me navigate his page, but I'll definitely check it out when I get home. I kinda remember seeing Keith's site in the past and also the Bussmann. Assuming you considered the Bussmann also, what made you decide to go with Keith?

    Commuting in a new raptor?

    OP, I drive a similar commute to yours each day from MD to VA in the Raptor, besides riding my motorcycle, the truck is definitely my preferred 4 wheeled mode of transportation. I've only used the adaptive cruise a few times on the truck and honestly I feel like I do a much better job of...

    GEN 2 Wiring Upfitter switches

    I'd like to tie in a 21amp light bar (BD 40" OnX6) into an AUX switch. I'm assuming the easiest way to do this is to use a relay. Are there any other options? Could I replace the relay/fuse in the fuse box to the Ford 25amp versions found in the F250 to increase the amp rating or would...

    Just got hit by a deer...

    Glad your OK. I drive into work at O'dark thirty everyday and see dozens of deer every morning. After 5yrs of doing this drive I've had a few close calls, but haven't hit any or had any hit me...but it's coming. I just ordered some wide angle lights/bumper as my only real defense. Black...

    First weird issue

    I've had something similar happen but switching to "M" and using the +/- button on the shifter (Not paddles) has always corrected it. Two things I've found from my experience (YMMV): 1 - Using the paddles or buttons on the shifter while not in manual locks out gears, so if at some point...

    Pedal Commander! Awesomeness!

    What were your expectations for it to be "worth the money"?

    Rear Seat-Husky Storage and Sunrise Tactical Seat Covers

    I paid less than that but regardless of that, they're ALL expensive/overpriced for what they are. Last time I checked the Husky wasn't much cheaper. FWIW: Can't speak for the Husky, but IMO the Duha won't ever require replacement. It's build pretty solid.

    GEN 2 Locking keys in the truck?

    Out of curiosity, I rolled down the window, armed the alarm by pressing the outside keypad, and set off the alarm, while still inside the truck. Found that as the alarm was going off, the truck started right up after pressing the start button. i can see now why people would want to block the...

    Installed oil catch can Day 1 of delivery...1500 miles later...

    Interesting solution. I don't think I have the balls or luck to try that method. Knowing me that one plastic shaving would bust up my turbo :biggrin:

    GEN 2 Locking keys in the truck?

    You answered your own question, no? If both methods work the same, do the same, and have the same pros/cons why wrap the fob in foil, which IMHO looks like crap, vs. just taking the battery out? I'm not here to try and change anyone's mind. I just do not see the point of buying special...

    Installed oil catch can Day 1 of delivery...1500 miles later...

    OP, thanks for the post and UPR link. A few questions that have been making me procrastinate: - Where, did you mount the can? - How much of a PIA was it to pull out the intake DT for drilling? Any chance you could post up a few pics of your install?

    GEN 2 Locking keys in the truck?

    Maybe a stupid question/observation but if you keep your fob in the truck and lock using the exterior keypad...and someone gets into your truck (I.e. Breaks a window, etc...) that will set off the alarm correct? Assuming the alarm goes off as it should, can the bad guy simply push the start...

    Beadlock on spare?

    +1^^ I had to drop the spare to free up space/access to install shit in the bed a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised to see the forged wheel on the spare.

    Ford breaking system on Raptor

    IMO, in the 2017 Raptor system, I wouldn't want it to brake for me..too many false positives where it sees a shadow across the road as an object. On known routes, there are several spots on my commute where the collision alert regularly activates when there are no traffic/vehicles. One bonus I...

    Filling tank without holding nozzle

    Wow, never even thought about it until this post. No issues traveling up/down the East coast. Stick it in, start pump, go in and get snacks, come out, replace handle....leave.

    Rear Seat-Husky Storage and Sunrise Tactical Seat Covers

    Thank so for the pics and info. Wish they'd make a version where the storage bin would integrate with the smaller OEM bin. It looks like you can remove the screws that hold the OEM front part of the bin and attach an aftermarket extension creating a near seamless large storage area. Until...

    My First Post to Say Hi from the PNW!

    That's really wanting a Raptor!!! I can see it now...awe **** it, I'm all in...change the house to fit my new ride... There is no fucking way I'm parking my rig out on the street or driveway. I wouldn't have had the balls to do that. If the Raptor didn't fit, I'd be driving a SmartCar...

    Interior build quality

    I get it, feel the same way to a degree, but you're getting torqued up over a switch cover. Expensive or not, that could happen to any vehicle regardless of brand, type, or model. You're asking for a comparison against other trucks, but IMO a comparison isn't needed because without a doubt they...

    Using a buying service to purchase a Raptor

    Like others have already mentioned, it's doubtful if you'll find anything lower than MSRP through a buying service, but I found that through my credit unions buying service, you got to knock off .5% off of the finance rate.
