    Raptor Assault free?

    Hello, welcome, and best of luck with your purchase. Yes, the raptor assault class is free and you get 1 year from your purchase date to attend. They told me next years class schedule should be posted in November so I wouldn’t wait around because it seems the schedule fills up. There is a...

    New raptor with bumps on paint

    Good luck and I definitely share the ocd trait. The small paint cracks on my truck are in a spot you would never notice (leading edge of the right fender where it meets the hood) unless you go into inspection mode and are looking for flaws from different angles but it still bugs me.

    New raptor with bumps on paint

    Did they take pictures and submit it to Ford for a warranty claim or did they just agree to fix it without the warranty submission? That should tell you if they damaged it and knew about it, failed at fixing it, and then got caught. I’m going through the denied warranty claim process right now...

    GEN 2 Spark Plug Change - How Often?

    That’s crazy, I wonder where they got that recommendation from. Personally I have had two F150s with the 3.5 ecoboost as work trucks and both went past 100k without issue or plug changes. Our fleet turns the trucks in at 100k but both ran perfect. And that combined 200k included a lot of...

    Ventilated Seat Cleaning

    I use a stencil brush to clean the perforations which you can get at Home Depot for a couple bucks. Spray a small amount of cleaner into the brush head and work in small circles. Your cleaner should create a lather and you can apply a little pressure to get into the perforations. Wipe the...

    So, I was looking for the cooled seat filter

    Are you are talking about the side vent located on the fan under your seat? That vent is there because your ventilated seats suck air through the seat instead of blowing it. Turn your seats on high and put a tissue on the seat. It will suck the tissue flat then it will fall off when you turn...

    Peeling paint

    I don’t disagree with you on that one but I don’t want to rehash that topic again haha. I will say this though, after they denied my paint claim I went to my dealer and walked through all of the F150s on their lot to see if by chance I could find a similar issue. I didn’t but what I did see...

    Peeling paint

    I am in a similar situation with paint cracking on the right front fender where it meets the hood. Ford denied the warranty claim within a couple hours after the dealers body shop submitted the photos and just replied it was from an impact without giving further details. Other than the 5 small...

    Tire Shine?

    If you are looking for a product that will just darken the rubber and leave a matte finish I would recommend Ammo Mud tire gel. It basically makes the tires look brand new again without the gaudy bright shine that doesn't belong on a truck but to each their own! I hand apply it with an...

    2020 Raptor pricing

    I happened to be in Omaha killing time in my hotel room. Damn I’m getting old, I just realized I’m sitting in my hotel on a Friday night watching Comedy Central! Anyways I just checked and a dealership group called Woodhouse has 33 raptors in stock, about every color, on three dealerships in...

    2020 Raptor pricing

    You're going to have to be willing to travel. I am doing my research to trade in my 2019 for a 2020 by looking for dealers advertising below MSRP on their 2019's to see if they will be willing to deal on a 2020 order. I am surprised how many I have found under MSRP so far, its a huge change from...

    New Raptor in Los Angeles - Raptor Assault School?

    Nice truck and congrats on the purchase. I haven't attended yet but I am wait listed for classes this year which are full. When I contacted the school and they told me the 2020 schedule should be released in November with courses starting in March. Remember you only have 12 months from your...

    Engine oil alert

    I had one go off 3k/4 months after an oil change in my 2015. I know the sensor was reset so I just checked and the oil was clean and full. I just reset it and continued with my normal change intervals. I think the intelligent sensor errors on the side of caution so I don’t think it is full...

    Blackvue DR900S-2CH 4K AND DR750-2CH Dashcam - OVERHEATING

    Do you have an IR temperature gun so you can check the temperature of the camera housing on a hot day? Just curious because I remember melting a security badge to a clear plastic badge holder when I left it on my dash on a 80 degree day and that badge was white, not black. Maybe check out...

    2019 Raptor (802a) - Back Seat Floor Mats!

    I had a similar experience in February. Mine was a dealer trade because the exact truck I wanted was sitting in another state. The trade was easy and quick but it came without the 4 anchor tie downs that go in the bed. I knew they came in a set shrink wrapped to cardboard from two previous truck...

    GEN 2 Backup sensor sound

    I had this happen to me on my 2019 about a month ago. It was defiantly a different sound and really threw me off but it only lasted for one day, maybe 6-8 ignition cycles. It was back to normal after sitting overnight.

    Loud clunk noise

    My 2019 sometimes makes a loud clunk while slowing down at low speeds. Was told by the dealer it is a characteristic of the 10-speed transmission. Usually under 4th gear and always low speeds while slowing to a stop from under 30 mph. Very noticeable with the windows down but I can not...

    GEN 2 Adding Tech Package to 802A 2019

    I would wait for the tech package just for the adaptive cruise control now that it has the stop and go feature and it is a pretty awesome feature if you drive in bumper to bumper traffic where you live. Set it to 20 mph or higher, adjust the gap distance to the closest setting, and let the...

    GEN 2 Adding Tech Package to 802A 2019

    Mine seemed to work as designed with the truck parked outside overnight this past winter but I do tend to remote start and let the vehicle warm up for 10-15 minutes.

    F R O N T T A G *

    Almost every Tesla that I see doesn’t have a front plate so I’d guess Tesla probably doesn’t sell them with preinstalled brackets. I remember a Hyundai that I had several years ago came with the bracket in the trunk. Funny story though, my cop buddy told me a few years back about always checking...

    GEN 2 B Pillar Accents - Matte / Carbon Fiber / Brushed Black

    I am looking at the Xpel B-Pillar Kit (Ultimate Plus) for $69.95 on their website. How did the install work out for you and are you happy with the results? Did you self install or take it to an installer?

    2019 Ford Raptor Yellow Coolant mixed with Orange Coolant

    Probably honest mistake on the dealers part because Ford just changed from orange to yellow coolant at the beginning of the year. Anyone know why? My 2019 Raptor (Nov-2018 build) has orange coolant from the factory. Background: I was away from my truck and wanted to look something up so I...

    Transmission TSB for calendar 2018 build?

    Yes, my 2019 (Nov-18 build) with 3,000 miles is having trans issues. Took it in today because when the trans is warmed up it’s making a whine or high pitched noise. Sounds like a toy laser or the jetsons car from the cartoon. Changes pitch with RPM. Sound is very pronounced if you get under the...

    2019 Raptor oil change

    Anyone know why Ford changed the Raptor supplement to “recommended” full synthetic? My 2019 was manufactured 12/2018 and I purchased it 02/2019 so it came with a supplement that says on the back cover “September 2018 first printing” and in that supplement it says “Motor oil (U.S. and Mexico)...
