    Anyone here ordered Sept/Oct and still unscheduled like me?

    My dealer had allocation for 4 raptors and I placed my order the day they were able to place the order - e-mail from Ford stated "Your vehicle order is one of the early orders for the 2022 F-150 Raptor" - its a 2022 35 confirmed 10/15, VIN assigned 11/12, production date 1/24, 1/31, 2/7, 2/14...

    Trade in 18 Raptor for new 2021 Raptor?

    I took my 2019 802A SCrew in for general service (oil change, etc.). I custom ordered my Raptor from this dealer, it is fully optioned minus sunroof, with 29k miles, original price MSRP ~$74k. They offered $70,049 to trade it in, and when orders open let me order a new 2021 and sell it at MSRP...

    Gen 2 Owners: Are you going to Gen 3, Gen 3-R or staying with your Gen 2??

    I just took my 2019 802A SCrew in for general service (oil change, etc.). I custom ordered this from the dealer, it is fully optioned minus the panoramic sunroof, with 29k miles, original price MSRP ~$74k. They gave me a written offer to pay me $70,049 to trade it in, and will let me order a new...

    Cold Start Noise - is it the cam phasers?

    Are you suggesting that Ford held a fiesta featuring the plastic Mexican pins?

    Cold Start Noise - is it the cam phasers?

    That raises an interesting question: if this engine has the “latest“ parts, and if the dealership would merely replace these with the exact same parts, what is the risk of simply not having the cam phasers replaced? I’ve looked at a significant number of cam phaser threads. I have not found an...

    Cold Start Noise - is it the cam phasers?

    The reason I asked if this engine has the “updated” cam phasers already installed, is because if they’re the same parts as what the dealership would install to fix the problem, what would prevent those cam phasers from going bad again? Having the engine partially torn down and rebuilt is not...

    Cold Start Noise - is it the cam phasers?

    I’ve been reading this forum for a long time now. I appreciate everyone’s insight comments opinions etc. I special ordered this truck on 6-16-2019 the build date is 8-20-2019. It has been serviced exclusively by the selling dealer. I had the oil changed every ~3000 miles. It has 19k miles on...

    Cold Start Noise - is it the cam phasers?

    I tried searching the cam phaser threads to find a video on what the cam phaser failure noise sounds like but was unable to find a definitive video - here is a link to a video of the start up noise my 2019 raptor makes – – can anyone verify this is the dreaded cam phaser failure?

    TriboTex oil additive (and others for the conversation)

    I don’t use any oil additives, and I am not recommending anything, but a quick search of the web found this product listed on nasa.gov - it is interesting reading: https://spinoff.nasa.gov/Spinoff2020/cg_4.html

    GEN 2 Towing Track Car with 2019 Raptor - Need some help

    While only a one time occurrence, it may address any concerns you might have about towing a car on interstate 5 with your Raptor. I needed to move a 1969 boss 302 mustang from California to Montana. I rented a double axle car trailer from U-Haul, and drove my totally stock 2019 802a SCrew on I5...

    New truck

    Welcome aboard. Very nice Raptor. Where abouts in Montana do you live? I special ordered an 802a SCrew from Kalispell Ford, picked it up in October 2019. I almost chose Velocity Blue but decided on magnetic with no decals, tailgate appliqué or sunroof. It’s been trouble free and has done yeoman...

    GEN 2 Towing a heavy car with a Gen2

    I recently towed a 1969 Mustang with a U-Haul car carrier with my 2019 SCrew over 1500 miles from the San Francisco Bay area to north western Montana. All is well and it was “fun“ in a strange sort of way. I would not worry.

    93 or 87 and why?

    With 20% 91 already in the tank, the 80% 110 probably yielded ~106 octane. Too much to be of real use with a 100% stock Raptor. It is probably my imagination, but it looked like the turbo gauge was near/at 20 sooner and longer. I am going to try mixing 30% 110 with 70% 91 to yield 97 octane gas...

    93 or 87 and why?

    I recently discovered 110 unleaded race gas at a local Conoco. I decided to do an experiment, and put $244 of 110 in my 2019’s tank. Driving on US 2 from Libby to Kalispell Montana (a mountain road with the cruise control set at 75mph passing several slower vehicles) instead of the usual 14.2mpg...
