    What will be the last model year for this gen Raptor?

    Yes new battery tech will come out, but in a few years when the gen 4 comes out? I think it’ll be pretty darn similar to what we’ve got now. If all cars will be electric powered by a small nuclear reactor in 100 years, doesn’t really change what the gen 4 will be. I hope they keep it...

    What will be the last model year for this gen Raptor?

    Yeah especially if they get rid of the 35 model.

    Auto Octane tune for gen 3!

    Oh I get that would be a weird thing to do. Just trying to Add to my own understanding. I only run 93 99% of the time anyway.

    Raptor 6.2 2012 4 door vs 6.2 2010 2 door

    Exactly. The raptor is already a massive vehicle. Why not actually have the interior space to match. It’s beyond me why someone would chose a SCAB over a SCREW unless there was no other option. (I get initially there was no other option) That and the SCAB has a lower tow rating which is...

    Oil question??

    Yeah as far as transmissions go…I never stray from the factory oil. No matter how much it costs. Outside of the warranty maybe there is an argument against that at times, but certainly not while under warranty.

    Auto Octane tune for gen 3!

    I mean in theory one could swap between 87 and 93 every week and not be breaking any rules with regards to the owners manual. The knock sensors would come into play in this situation too right? Granted with a stock tune you’re not making an extra 100 hp so if you’re going between 87 and 93 the...

    Raptor 6.2 2012 4 door vs 6.2 2010 2 door

    Really more info is needed. If you’re a single dude and never use the back seat. SCAB may be the way to go. If you’ve got a dog and 2 kids, SCREW is the only way. People will say otherwise, but realistically if you need cabin space don’t mess around with a SCAB.

    Oil question??

    When I’m being a basic bitch I run 5w30 Mobil 1. Never had an issue with any car I’ve used Mobil 1 on. When im feeling spicy or the truck needs a christmas present Ill use redline 5w30. Great oil for engines with some valve-train clatter on start up with that ester base. Not referring to the...

    Raptor 6.2 2012 4 door vs 6.2 2010 2 door

    For me the newer 4 door with less mileage is a no brainer. But I prefer the SCREW, if the SCREW had never been made I’d have never bought a raptor.

    RR at Assault

    Thats a ranger....I think.

    Towing Reviews ONLY

    Im curious as well. Final drive at the tires would be higher, and aren't the 37s narrower slightly?

    Differences between F150 Raptor and Raptor R?

    It could be it was a 37s package with the 3.5. The ding d o n g sales people might have seen "the one with big tires" and thought it was an R.

    180000 mile 2017 raptor?

    I guess the high mileage thing comes in to play because nearly every single car Ive ever owned after 100-120K miles starts to have parts just fail. Not really the fault of the vehicle, just that yeah after 10 years and 120K things like the radiator, alternator, AC, various bushings, sensors and...

    Raptor Regret?

    Id rather swap vehicles out a bit more often than have 4-5 vehicles at the same time. I had 3 at a time for a while and the lack of driving I actually do had 1-2 cars just sitting for extended periods. Then the maintenance, registrations, insurance, tires, battery tending, space consumption...

    Preproduction Mule - 2025?

    Gotta hop on the train at some point. There weren't enough changes to the poverty spec 35 model for me to wait on the 24. You don't even get the new shocks on the 35 model anyway.

    Preproduction Mule - 2025?

    Oh you're talking about the R specifically. No one with an R is going to lose their shirts who paid MSRP or close to it. The only people who have lost their shirts on Raptors are people who purchased very over valued gen 2s 1-2 years ago or paid 50K ADMs for an R. A 2024 will go down at the...

    Preproduction Mule - 2025?

    Yeah...its essentially identical. If you get the 37 package at least you get shocks that are supposedly better. Time will show how much of an upgrade they really are. Im glad I sold my gen2 for quite a bit more than it would be worth now.

    I went to Oslo once and took a train into the countryside. Very amazing scenery. The only issue I saw was ....gas prices.

    Raptor Regret?

    Yeah I've only had 12 vehicles. I've got a long way to go, lol.

    Raptor Regret?

    It’s really the wrong question, the reason most of us bought raptors regardless of the engine was for the suspension. The Raptor having the most powerful engines in the lineup was just a plus. I prefer the v6 from my previous v8 truck purely for high altitude and staying in 10th gear on the...

    Upgrade, I hope.

    This, Sold my 2020 for a 2023. It is odd to spend a lot of time in a vehicle, on road, off road, talking about it, wrenching on it, road trips etc. Then one day after an hour in finance and 5 mins collecting your cell phone chargers, it’s all over. That 5 mins at the end doesn’t feel right...

    Is it too late

    Dealers have plenty of crafty ways to sell at “MSRP”.

    RAD Mounted Ratchet Straps

    Ratchet straps hanging out the elements get pretty crusty pretty fast. A bed cover would be needed I think. Would be curious to see pics of these out in the open after 4-5 years.

    Looking for help with axle and IWE

    Good, any sorta top hat spacer or shock changes could cause them to deny axle issues or really anything in that area.

    Transmission issues

    We’ve all seen the videos. You could put 1000ft/lbs or 400ft/lbs in a mustang. The transmission won’t be the first to fail, it’ll be the tires and then the driver.
