    newborn and raptor, any thoughts?

    Do you have or have you thought about one of those firm seat covers? I am kinda concerned the seats are going to get f’d from having car seats cranked down on them for the next 8 years. If anyone has one, what brand would you recommend? Do we need one specifically or will and SCREW F150...

    GEN 1 Thinking of selling...

    Paid 32k for a fully loaded 2014 two months ago in central IL if that helps. All stock, beadlock capable, undercover backflip, w 93k on the clock.

    Gen 2 Fire Extinguisher Install

    Gonna get #Nerd on it, forgive me if you know of these things already. Some things to ponder: •Why do you need this? Is it for interior fires, brakes, an engine bay fire? Is it just to check a box for needed equipment for off-roading? *Having been present at many car fires, including an...

    newborn and raptor, any thoughts?

    @raptoragecar FYI. I am pretty sure the wife’s seat is all the way back.

    newborn and raptor, any thoughts?

    I have two car seats in my SCREW now. Third is on the way. Hopefully it’s not twins so I don't have to get something with more seats! Velociraptor with a third row maybe?

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    MF New Guy has a hard time...a lot of the time. I have now seen those vids. Thanks for providing some of those facts in your post btw;). I bet all the others like me found them very informative. Give me time; I too will have punisher stickers all over my rig soon.

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    Watched a few, definitely impressed. Doesn’t get the fanfare the Gen 1 did though for some reason.

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    I see what you did there. Noice. I am a musician so I can live with all those for some good sound ;)

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    Thanks for the info! With all of the research I’ve done here, online and YT I’ve never seen or heard much about those runs. Maybe they weren’t much to write home about? Maybe you just do t see much about them since they already did it, kinda like later moon landing? Post a link(s) please...

    Gladiator worth the trade in ?

    Pulled up next to one the other day. Thought it was interesting, but definitely had the “put together” look. I wasn’t impressed. Obviously smaller; seemed like it was basically a terrible Taco rip off without the style. The driver was looking hard at my 2014, but didn’t even roll down the...

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    #fakenoise Love the new body style and tech, but would never go for a Gen 2 just because it’s a V6. The 6.2L ran the Baja, that’s why it’s the iconoclast and not the 5.4. Until the 3.5L TTB does something similar I’ll stick with my Gen 1. Just sayin’ ‍♂️

    Brakes?

    @Rustler completely agree. I did have to mash them the other day and I was surprised how good they were still for needing an update/replaced. I was traveling on gravel at roughly 15 MPH towards a dual sided gate that swung open towards me. I hit them hard as **** and the truck stopped...

    Brakes?

    @rtmozingo Thanks for the insight, it’s always good to hear from someone who has more experience than one’s self! Have you replaced your original brakes? If so, did you go with Motor Craft, or something else and why?

    Brakes?

    I’ve had four Ford vehicles, including the Raptor, and all of them have had long brake travel. Anyone else notice this? Seems to be a Ford design I guess? I almost threw up when I drove the in-laws new Kia because the brakes had so little pedal travel my chest was in my throat when I stepped...

    GEN 1 Replacement Brakes

    MF New Guy here. I’ve searched as well as a MFNG could around the forum and haven’t found an answer, so please excuse me if I’m posting in the wrong sub or have missed the answer. I am looking for a reasonably priced replacement brake kit. I would love an Alcon or R1, but the budget doesn’t...

    How Long Can/Will Your Gen1 Last?

    I have a 2014 with 95k on it. Got it at 93k, no issues with it so far. Knock on wood. I’m with those looking to put as many miles as possible. Hope to hand it over to the son when he’s old enough. Plan to keep forever if possible. These trucks are amazing, couldn’t imagine having anything else!

    2019 Wheels

    Found a deal for new KO2s on 2019 wheels for $1400. They are takeoffs from new 2019 Raptors and claim to have 10 miles on them. I have a ‘14 with the SVT bead lock capables that I like and would only want the tires. If I buy them for the tires how much do you think (if someone even wanted them)...

    Front Camera Question

    Any updates on this issue yet? Just got a used 2014 and would like to pull into spots as much as possible too. I don’t want to spend $600 just to use front camera without all the hoopla. I can’t believe there isn’t a cheap/free fix to this in 2019!

    Newsed 2014 Owner

    Took the plunge and got a used 2014. Thanks to all here as this forum helped with many questions I had. Surprisingly after all the should I or not, the wife was the one that said do it. She loves the truck, still a little apprehensive about driving it though. Two car seats, a 90lb dog and all...

    2014 94k Mile SCREW for $35k...Buy or No?

    @Buzzard2 Slept on it over the holiday and did more research. Couldn’t find a reason that it was a bad decision compared to similar others I could find nationwide. Ended up at $35.2k OTD. TTL in IL is roughly $2800 at this price range. Puts truck alone at about $32.4. Tipping point for me was...

    2014 94k Mile SCREW for $35k...Buy or No?

    Taxes and fees and all would be roughly 3k. I agree with you on the 32k truck alone being good. I wouldn’t trust these guys to do right on the brakes and tune up and would want to just take it to my guy. After this back and forth I guess that I’m just nitpicking trying to get these fixes in...
