    Premium Fuel

    I put in 85, use water for wiper fluid, only put in 78% Nitrogen in the tires, 5$(Each) for my wipers and I don’t put more than 10 gallons in the truck at a time to save $$ and weight. Changed the tires to 17” steelies and……. ZERO AC no matter how hot!!!!! You cannot afford a truck like...

    GEN 2 Curious how other folks' gen 2 Raptors operate in sport mode

    What other cars/truck have you owned with “sport” modes? I ask because if your used to BMW/Merc/Porsche/Corvette etc…. Then you will have a different understanding of sport on a truck vs car +

    July 18 Reveal.

    My gut tells me that Ford had the Raptor R ready to go earlier but when the TRX hit the street, they wanted to make sure they exceeded the TRX. Not necessarily more HP but better all around truck. Bought a few trucks and did some internal reviews and tweaked on the Raptor to that it does...

    Family is maybe outgrowing Raptor

    We bought the 3rd row suv for the space and travel convenance but we take the Raptor on every road trip shy of 10 hours. Why, cause the Raptor can fit 2 boys, a dog and all the luggage(have tonneau cover) and everyone is comfortable. I can get there faster in the suv but the F150’s are the...

    Raptor on turo

    I have a friend who has 7 cars on TURO. He runs it like a car rental business and not his personal autos. He has had cars damaged but he has insurance for that. The Raptor may not be This Forum perfect but it might have some wear. I have rented premium cars and I never expected my...

    Having trouble with a weak Homelink signal for your garage opener?

    I had a 2015 and the home link was horrible. It would not work a lot of the time if I was pulling out (cause I backed in the driveway) vs if I was backing out of the driveway. If there was anything between the truck and the garage, the home link would not work. Anytime I was pulling out...

    Spare tire Delete/Removal.

    So what your saying is that if I “race” my truck with 13 less gallons in the tank I will get 2-3 truck lengths…. SWEET! I am going to convert my36 tank to a 26 and I know that tank will sell…

    Towing Track Car

    Tongue weight is the only issue but that can be easily remedied by W/D hitch and std dual wheel trailers. Is it enclosed or open? I have a 3.2k travel trailer 4K loaded and it pulls like it is not there. The raptor will be. perfect to pull the GT3. I see X5’s and Cayenne’s pulling...

    Question on 4A vs. 2H

    Why use 4a unless it is slick or you want to “drag race”. The torque steer is horrible in 4A. I use 2H unless I it is really wet out, not because I can’t drive a car/truck sideways, but so I don’t feel like a bag spinning the tires at lights….. or if I am racing the hopped up Prius or...

    2022 Raptor Tailgate Applique Notice!!

    I know I like the tailgate appliqué cause it is black and just adds to the “this is not a std f150”. Now if it said “RAPTOR” instead of ford then I would so no. To me the chrome “platinum/limited” just screams hey look at me on top of all the other chrome

    21 leadfoot paint chipping!!!

    Ok I will do more than make a comment emoji comment. I assume the paint shop is either lazy or understaffed. Why….. because you cannot buy “ford leadfoot paint”. You can take it to a place that has the leadfoot formula which requires one to mix it(even a ford dealer) and spray it...

    When my 13 was destroyed in a accident so I had a decision to make. I test drove a 13 raptor and then a Gen 13 lariat. For the premium and my comparing the raptor to the my Gen 12 lariat, I could not do it. Now I do have a Gen 2 Raptor so I would say Raptor but it was after many...

    GEN 1 Both front calipers need replacing

    Just because your calipers failed in 90k does not tell me much. The truck at newest is 8 years old. I replace my brake fluid ever 2 years due to the water absorbing properties of brake fluid. On my track car every year. It is not uncommon for calipers to rust based on zero maintenance...

    So The Raptor is not based on a Dinosaur...

    They talk about the 2021 “looks” are based on the raptor plane. Nothing about the 2010 has raptor plane in it. I thought that “Raptor” was the internal special projects name which stuck because the other names were lame
