    Any concern about parking moonroof outside in 100-105+ heat & sun? And anything to put on it (films, etc.)?

    don't believe the moonroof hype...... keep it clean and oil the tracks and seals....... your moonroof is not going to explode in the sun

    Very loud in cabin at speed

    There you go. If the tires are not rotated religiously through all 5 (spare) at 7,000 miles...they cup very bad. cupping = noise and vibration. even with a 5 tire rotation, any light off roading...BFG will rarely last beyond 40,000 miles. There may be tread left, but the ride is so poor you...

    I convinced my wife that buying a new raptor was a responsible decision. All hail the king.

    I want to move out of my Raptor and my wife won’t let me. She likes it more than I do.

    Dash Speakers

    the speakers in a stock stereo are NOT the weakest link. You are burning money replacing speakers if you dont do amplification first. when I did my systems over the course of a weekend, I did the speakers last, and ran the stock speakers on 700 watts of power for a night, and they were loud as...

    Device for cruise control/auto steering

    Good luck when Darwin calls. Dumbest idea ever. I would not trust any of those systems. Do us all a favor and DRIVE YOUR TRUCK / CAR.

    Battery Life Expectancy

    I just replaced mine at 4.5 years and 50,000 miles You know it is getting time to replace when the auto start stop never kicks in at stop lights. the battery won't take enough charge for that to function.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Sent the final payment. 4.5 years and only 50k miles into ownership. I only shaved 6 months of the 5 year schedule, but only had a 1.9% loan. so not too much interest saved. I expect to have this truck another 10 years at least, with no car payment,
