    Cleaning interior

    Awesome...thx for the info. Bought a few Chaplin sprayers off of Amazon and they worked well the first few washes which led to buying more. Within a year they were all broken for various reasons. I'm good with the added expense if they're good. Thx again

    Cleaning interior

    Miula: What brand of pump spray bottles are those (blue/white sprayers labeled "APC" and "Wheel Cleaner")? The ones I've tried work great, when they work, but break too easily.

    How many Gen 2 owners bought without test driving?

    Not only did I never see or drive my truck but because this is an out of state deal, a person I've never met (detailer) inspected it, took delivery for me to Line-X, roof wrap, tint, and paint protect the cab. I leave next week for pickup. Definitely a leap of faith, but FWIW the detail...

    Wheel Well Inserts

    The G2 has only front liners. The rear is unlined.

    Applique- fan or not?

    I got it. Went back & forth also...figured if there's a FORD on the grille, I might as well be symmetrical and put it on the back also, haha!!! Before the post that finally showed the appliqué tailgate is made differently than the standard, I thought there might be some aftermarket versions of...

    Anyone looking for 1.49% APR

    Yeah, NP. It's through a CU acct that I opened long time ago, Congressional Federal Credit Union. Don't work there anymore, and I don't know the stipulation for opening an acct. .99 came from if I used their buying service. If you do they knock off .5%. It's normally 1.499 for 36mon...

    Anyone looking for 1.49% APR

    Financing because it's the only way to afford a big purchase is one thing, and we can go round & round on the prudence of carrying that kind of debt. What we're talking abt here is if you have the money to pay cash OTD or invest the same amount and finance the purchase at a low rate. If you...

    My Raptor Just Got Banned from the Car Wash

    If an automated bay can fit a dually, it'll fit a G2. Most in my area are no-track and brushless where you drive in the bay and stop. The machine moves back and forth around a stationery vehicle. Problem is, if it won't fit a dually (not many do) the machine won't correctly read your truck...

    Should I just give up?

    At this point might be easier to find a dealer willing to charge MSRP for an '18 allocation. Word is '18 orders start in a few weeks. Or you might find as the '18s start getting ordered, those marked up '17 that haven't sold may continue to sit. I'd think dealers would be more willing to...

    Let's talk finances

    Answer kinda depends on what you're doing with your "$100k" in savings. If it's really just in a savings acct, I'd try and finance as little as possible because the APR% for the loan means you're loosing money...unless by some miracle your savings acct actually generates meaningful income. On...

    GEN 2 Paint protection film

    Scheduled to have pretty much everything wrapped from the rear doors forward (SCREW) Not doing the front bumper cause it's most likely gonna get replaced by an aftermarket set up. Bed/wheel wells are gonna get Line-X'ed and based on the suggestion of the vinyl installer, I'm gonna have...

    Rain sensing wipers operation

    It's indicated as auto wipers in your manual...same page you referenced in your post. Turn the dial in one direction for more sensitivity, and the other way for less sensitivity/off (I.e. If/when you don't want them to work like going through a car wash.)

    GEN 2 Auto Start/Stop

    I believe these two "issues" might have a lot to do with each other assuming that everything is working the way it's supposed to. Most auto off/on systems will only work to a point where the vehicle, based on the electrical draw, will automatically turn back on even if you haven't moved...

    Ride Along with the Ford F150 Raptor in the Baja 1000

    If you have VR googles, download the Ford VR app and you can see a lot VR vids (Baja, Mustang, Gymkhana, Rallycross, etc...) Pretty cool.

    MSRP up again???

    My understanding is that as long as you don't change your order, your DORA price is locked in. But if you change anything about your order, you get hit with the MSRP. I added an option after the 1st increase and the MSRP also went up. That's how it was explained to me.

    Aftermarket Carbon Fiber Package?

    Go to Fordparts.com. Once you find what you're looking (I don't have part#s), it'll ask you to choose a dealer. Seems like price varies by dealer. I believe MSRP is @$450 but dealer price @$390, IIRC. It looks they're available now. Last time I checked before my order got pulled a few weeks...

    Black or Avalanch

    I'd go black...not because of the color but the options. CF/BL together are difficult to find...especially CF. If the color bothers you too much wrap it in whatever color you want

    Aftermarket Carbon Fiber Package?

    IMHO, I think there is/was issues with a part of the CF package. It seems like guys have been able to order sperately through FP, every part except the door panels. Seems logical that the one part of the CF package that no one has been able to get sperately is also the thing that is keeping...

    Beadlock/CF orders getting pulled 02/01 forward

    It really does. Until I actually saw it, it was hard to know what's BS and what's true regarding all the info on the forums/web.

    Beadlock/CF orders getting pulled 02/01 forward

    Got a VIN and APR build date I can hardly believe it but I finally received a VIN last week and just saw my window sticker today for an Avalanche SCREW w/. 802, Tech pkg, accent, moonroof, CF and BL. Looking like a late April/early May delivery. Placed my order last Aug. as #6 out of 16. I...
