    Looking for just a passenger floor mat for a 2019, any sources?

    I'm looking around for just a passenger floor mat with the Raptor logo for my 2019. I can't seem to find any used sources like a junkyard that has just the one mat. I left it at a car wash :(

    Gen 1 - Lonnnng term maintenance, when to replace engine.

    I have a Gen 1 and Gen 2 Raptor. The Gen 1 was the best vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned a lot so I bought another. I bought the 2011 fairly clean in 2016 with 88k miles and a T-bone accident on its record and repainted/repaired driver side doors and B pillar. You can't notice the...

    Changing my mind, from upgrading my Raptor to just having two. Long Term Maintenance Questions

    Good point, our leather is perfect, but the driver heated seat element is out. One in-dash damper clicks from time to time but heat and cool work, and climate control works. Bulbs will happen. I hope to stay out of rust, in salt lake city but the air is dry so its not slush-rust-salt from the...

    Changing my mind, from upgrading my Raptor to just having two. Long Term Maintenance Questions

    My wife drives the raptor 2/3 of the time, my commute is further and the mazdaspeed is fun. She would be getting the gen2 most of the time. I'll just have to suffer through.

    Changing my mind, from upgrading my Raptor to just having two. Long Term Maintenance Questions

    I bought my 2011 with 88k miles for $33,500. It has proven very robust and reliable. I've done the following maintenance and nothing more. Oil when the computer says under 20%, motorcraft semi-synthetic and motorcraft filters. Two shock rebuilds by Forged Brakes one time at 140k miles, OEM...

    Don't be intimidated by the spark plugs, they're not as hard as I thought they would be after reading too much.

    Raptor owners with (ATs & MTs)two sets of tires

    I had maxxis bighorns, they were awesome in the mud but did get slippery in ice. Some tire change places will store and swap "winter" wheels any time for free if you buy "snow tires" from them. May be a good way to have someone else do the work and storage if you buy the tires through them.

    going to hit 100k before the end of January. Anything I need to worry about? Any benefit to swapping trans fluid early?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Replaced the wheels. $1300 local, super excited about the look. Needed tires, already sold my Maxxis Big Horns for $400 and entertaining selling my OEM SVT wheels. Can't believe the ride quality and noise improvement.

    Rear grinding noise under heavy braking - new motorcraft pads and rotors

    I just got some quiet tires for the first time and started noticing a grinding noise from the rear wheels under heavy braking. It happens, for example, when going to the bottom of my neighborhood (steep downhill) stopping at a stop sign. If I'm normally flat-ground driving it would only...

    Bought a 2014. Have some comments and questions.

    For those of you expressing concern about 2017 tries on a 2014 Raptor, 7450lb gross vehicle weight vs 7050, that doesn't seem much different, around 5%. Does anyone change tires when they put gravel in the bed, or put 2 adults with boots on in the back? How often are we at max gross...

    GEN 1 Might trade to a 2018 Raptor

    Why would you trade it in? Sell it for $5k to $10k more. It only takes a little more effort than making your original post. Even if you spend a half day with someone you're making like a $million a year that day.

    Front Windsheild Tint

    I have a low % tint on my full windshield and love it. No problem with Oakley prism polarised lenses.

    WTB or WTT 35s UTAH

    I have 4 35x12.5 maxxis bighorns with 50% tread. Looking to trade someone for ko2s. Or just looking to buy a set of ko2 in 35 with or without wheels. Salt lake area. We travel to Moab and st george frequently though.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    97k miles, first suspension service of any kind. Replacing upper control arms with stock replacements, boots were destroyed, probably had 1/8" vertical play in joints. Replacing lower ball joints with Moog, stocks have some play but look pretty good. Replacing all CV boots with silicone from...

    Wheel Spacer

    after some reading I think I'll take them off for my Thanksgiving Moab adventure. They are hub centric, machined to center on the hub, but I found them for $75/set so under $20 each, that doesn't sound like a lot of $$ for a load-bearing piece of equipment that may be part of a "landing" event...

    Wheel Spacer

    I think I just realized that my truck came (to me) with aftermarket wheel spacers. I saw them originally, but friends' TRD trucks come with them from the factory so I didn't think twice. I am getting my shocks rebuilt right now, and replacing all ball joints etc, wondering if I should remove...

    Need shock advise

    I just sent mine in to Forged today. I had 96k miles on them. One front and one rear was stuck down after I removed them. I'm changing to a flutter stack and getting Viton seals. I could see having them recharged after 25k miles then rebuilt again at 50 next time. I'll let you know how it...

    2011 won't start, cranks fast, intermittent

    So how does the relocation kit work? Does ford cover it like a recall or is it just an FYI this thing may fail type of thing. Also would you drive it with the 15a fuse for a while or will that blow / melt too? I guess it ran for 6 years with it like this.

    2011 won't start, cranks fast, intermittent

    I love you. It's back in the driveway. I won't have heated mirrors for a day but it's back. The 20a fuse was smoked. 15a from heated mirrors swapped in and it fired right up. Boom.

    Thank you so much. I'll run out after dinner and try that out.

    2011 won't start, cranks fast, intermittent

    I've put about 5000 miles on my raptor, it has 85k now. After some off-roading with a little water splashing up into the engine bay, at a gas station the truck cranked for about 4-5 seconds without starting. Weird, but on the second try it just fired right up. A week later, again right...

    2011 White SCREW in Utah

    Finally took the plunge. Bought a 2011 SCREW. We started seriously considering buying one last July, and have been strategizing since. I drove about 8 of them, looked at about 10, and got pretty fed-up with the dealer market around SLC, UT. They were either in reasonable condition with...
