    20" Wheels on Gen 2 Raptors vs Stock 17"s?

    bro...don't do it. I would hate to see you around town and be laughing at you behind my tinted windows call you a noob, before rolling down the windows and saying hello, nice raptor. It would just be awkward for me. :)

    The drive-mode button is a huge design fail.

    i never give it a second thought. I have never hit the button by accident, and in the rare time someone drives my truck, they can hurt it if they do.

    Raptor Assault Worthwhile for Experienced Off-roaders?

    it is a weekend not spent at home, driving some one else's truck. Think of it more as entertainment than education. Like going to a movie in another city. I am a "car guy" and was a noob at off road.....i learned something and had fun.....worth it for me to be entertained for a weekend for...

    GEN 2 Car Wash

    The Brushless one by me fits the Raptor no problem. Plenty of cars with tires as wide as the Raptor. The brushed one specifically has a sign that says cars with wider fenders should not be sent in. The issue is not the wheel width, it is the sensors for the things on the side of the car...

    How much would my 2020 raptor sell for?

    In most states, you pay of the difference in trade. Missouri example = $70k truck - $30k trade in, you pay 6% on the $40k difference. So about $2,400.

    How much would my 2020 raptor sell for?

    My dad taught me that lesson in 1985. I was all proud that I had 5 Dwight Gooden Tops Rookie cards that were worth $20 each. So I had $100 as a 13 year old, and they were gonna be worth millions when i got older. Dad said, they are "worth what someone is willing to pay" and he took me to a...

    I was "that guy" today driving "too fast" in the snow

    Again, that is what makes the Raptor special. It is so balanced and composed. It warns the driver well ahead of time when it is coming un glued from the road, and when it does....it is no violent whip. It is very controllable to an individual with the correct skills. Now, be a noob who...

    ZEN Nav TV issues

    No. No fuse needed, in fact it would be bad, as it would add tiny tiny amounts of resistance thus defeating the reason you ran to the battery in the 1st place. No fuse is needed. If a ground "shorts" no harm done because it is after the load and that is where the power wants to go. Not like...

    GEN 2 Snow Settings for Dummies (me)

    18...our modes are slightly different....snow / wet in an 18 = slippery in 19+ and that is where it gets neitered. deep snow is closer to mud / rut

    ZEN Nav TV issues

    assuming they did it right, thats not a bad looking install at all...definitely not a "rats nest". They could have it tuned to a very front stage (which i like) and the rear fill can be very low.

    GEN 2 Snow Settings for Dummies (me)

    That is what sets the raptor apart from everything else....it is so balanced and it communicates so well to the driver. you know way ahead of time when you are reaching the limits and when you are there it is still controllable. Not a death flick swap front to rear.

    GEN 2 Snow Settings for Dummies (me)

    4A for any snow covered roads.....if you are in complete deep snow on road, 4H is fine. But as soon as they start to clear snow get back to 4A. No real reason to use the locker unless it is just real deep and you want to make sure your locker works. "snow mode" will just take all the fun out...

    Dashcam footage of guy spinning out behind me in snow 45 seconds

    I was driving to work. Dusting of snow on the road, and the guy behind me fails. I saw it in. y review view mirror and pulled the tape today. People just dont know how to drive. Period. No sound because I was on a work call.

    I was "that guy" today driving "too fast" in the snow

    That is it in a nut shell. If you see a line of cars in your mirror....assuming they check mirror.....get out of the way.

    What wheels and tires are you guys running?

    Well done keeping the 17's. To much rim does not look good to me and the tire is part of the suspension

    I was "that guy" today driving "too fast" in the snow

    I had to go to a lunch meeting and was late. roads were still packed snow covered, but I could go the speed limit. Most of the people were still not on the road, but every now and then I came across people in their camrey or accords who didnt know how to drive and were doing 15-25 when i...

    ZEN Nav TV issues

    what he said. I had this exact issue. Whne the car was off, no lights, no chimes.....when i would open the door, right door speaker would have 1 second of static as the truck woke up and I turned on the ignition. I could "fix" it by waiting 2 seconds after I got in to try and start the truck...

    Decent Hotel for Raptor Assault?

    i chose to stay at the Marriot Courtyard 1 exit before the airport. It was only a 25 minute drive (to miller sports park). I am a bit of a hotel snob and the motel 6 near the track was not up to my standards. PLus, there was so much more to do / eat closer to the airport.
