    Sooo, isn't there someone here who hates the 3.5 ecoboost???

    Never hated the ecoboost but the very first vehicle we had with one was I guess a lemon of an engine. 3.5LTT in a 2013 explorer sport. Loved the torque of the engines. Sort of want to get an expedition with the H.O. 3.5L for the wife but not at the current prices/rates.

    GEN 2 Time to find a new RAPTOR?

    What's their hourly rates, 300 a hour for the admin up front? Definitely look up independent shops for any repair work. One thing for under warranty stuff or a fluid change here and there for warranty reasons but that's bending you over pricing.

    SORRY HOSS, THEY USED THE GEN 1 BACK THEN BRUTHA. THE GREATEST GENERATION WAS THE FIRST GEN. ONLY OFFROAD MODE AND LOCKED REAR DIFF WON THE WAR

    Does extended warranty cover offroading?

    Still curious about the leaking oil. Also, your parents bought you a Raptor. You were doing offroad stuff. I get being upset, but it's like giving a 5 year old a hammer and being mad they swing it at the wall.

    100K Mile 2017-2018 Gen 2 Reliability vs 2013 Gen 1

    I've had 3 Gen 1's and 1 Gen 2. If you asked me which one I liked the most, it's the Gen 2, even comparing it to the Roush supercharged Gen 1 I had. Before I bought the Gen 2, I was still looking for the "right" Gen 1 as well but ultimately wanted to try out the newer platform. I bought a...

    Should I buy or pass?

    Looks like it comes with a 3 month 4k warranty, which should* cover any issues that could arise early on. * Limited Warranty: 3 Month/4,000 Mile (whichever comes first) after new car warranty expires or from certified purchase date * 139 Point Inspection * and 11,000 FordPass Rewards Points...

    Will my 2017 SuperCrew Raptor fit in a 6’8” parking garage?

    https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/raptor-height.77748/ Based off this thread, as long as the truck you're buying isn't lifted in anyway, you should be good.

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

    Swapped out the oem battery from the 2017 this weekend. Had a great run in the Florida sun.

    Let’s see about fitting these

    I'm 99% sure this is the 17-18 front shocks on Rockauto. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11448197&cc=3439151&pt=7556&jsn=1570 Just in case R.A. is using the wrong stock photo but when searching that part number other sites pull it up as the Gen 2 non live valve front shocks.

    Good deal on KO2's on Simple Tire

    That site has some deals from time to time. Another place to watch is priority tire. Got a set of the ST MAXX a few years back for $788. May of been a glitch in their pricing but they honored it.

    Don't hate me for asking

    Not at all. The TRX is a nice option for an offroad truck that has stupid amount of power. Suspension wise offroad, watching back to back runs in the same sections between Gen 2/3 Raptors vs a TRX the Raptors seemed to handle jumps smoother/not be nose heavy, but the TRX isn't some slouch...

    2018 Raptor - Sunroof leak question

    Yup. Normal. Seen it across most brands I've had with sunroofs. My 2012 Raptor with the dinky sunroof dripped pretty good but never leaked out.

    My dash cam footage of a neon driver with a death wish

    Huh, legit first time I've seen a SRT Neon in years. It's like they all got repoed and crushed in Florida. I really think some drivers do not understand the limits of their cars and their clapped out Altima, neon, g35 etc are do not have the handling ability they think it does. Homie does a...

    R Available on Lot

    It's wild seeing the prices some agree to at a dealer but then B.A.T. or other auction places seem to not come close to secondary sellers

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

    Got them installed this am. Gotta lower the pressue DT set them at but other than that no complaints.

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

    Palm beach FL. When it gets drier out there more trails open up. It's basically a swamp in the summer with one dry high trail.

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

    From memory they aren't obnoxiously loud but definitely had a nice hum. On my Gen 1 put 18k miles on them and they were smooth rolling at highway speeds and wearing great. Offroad wise, areas that I had to go to 4wd with K02's I could get by with 2wd with the STTs. I'll let you know tomorrow...

    2018 Raptor - Mold on Under Hood Insulation Shield

    You had the entire truck as in mold inside the cab or the smell was lingering in the cab from the hood? IIRC Ford has some F150 trims without the shield.

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

    Shelby Off-road F150 instead of RaptorR

    I would go "regular" Gen 3 11 out of 10 times over a Shelby truck.

    Lightweight, Quiet, Road-centric All-Terrain Tires

    Bought the truck used, so it came with some Hankook AT2 dynapros. After a few offroad runs, can say they've made me change my mind on them. Good on the road in rain, dry etc. Soft sand it seems to grip nicely. And this past weekend we went through areas of water, mud and wet shellrock. Saw a few...
