    First Oil Change?

    You could do that, even more bolts though Lol it did burn, but I'll be ok...just dont want anyone else to be surprised by the gusher. DEFINITELY 5W30 for an ecoboost Yep, but it seems to do the trick... Correct, 6!

    First Oil Change?

    Couple of notes...the filter was as tight as ever for first oil changes, needed a wrench. The new drain plug that 1phatstang mentioned is very interesting, just used to an old metal plug you wrench out...but beware, the oil came out much much faster than normal and made a huge mess for me...

    Tailgate Lock

    I think this is a dealer add on...dont think it came from the factory like that, did it? Mine didn't anyway.

    Should I get rid of the stock Bedlocks rims and go Aftermarket?

    thanks for posting that...on the truck, to my eyes anyway, it just blends in. Which I know most people like more. I guess I am old school and don't love the all monochrome look of wheels and tires... the beauty rings will match the silver of the ford hub cap so they will look a little...

    Should I get rid of the stock Bedlocks rims and go Aftermarket?

    To my eye, they are a very dark gray, which looks almost black like the rim. I like the contrast that my 2014 Beadlocks had so I plan to make the rings on the 17 the same color.

    I hate the exhaust...

    Sounds a little better than stock, but the Problem is that this is a single pipe into two out...we have a true dual setup. Maybe they have one coming for the Raptor.

    Oh yeah, no problem. The bakbox is easly accessible when you fold the MX4 back. And the bakbox folds up against the back of the bed out of the way when you need the bed space. Love the combo and use it constantly! ---------- Post added at 08:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM...

    I hate the exhaust...

    Yeah, I am not too hopeful either. Didn't love the sound of the AFE in the clips...Holding out a tiny bit of hope that the Magnaflow will be better....but it's doubtful I'm afraid. Magnaflow

    Brake distance tests

    I do hope there are some performance enhancements coming for braking...its the one area of the truck that I am most disappointed in.

    GEN 2 Top 15 Tonneau Covers - which do you have?

    Bakflip MX4!! Had one on my 14 and now on my 17! Love this cover and the matte black finish. So durable and handles Texas summers like a champ!

    Same! LOVE the MX4. Had it on my '14 (which I now need to sell it) and I had the MX4 for the '17 in my garage before I had the truck. I also have the BakBox...love that as well. I went with a 21" Antenna. Sits level with the top of the cab and reception is fine. I have also Tinted Front...

    First Oil Change?

    I am a do the first oil change at 1000 miles guy for break in (don't mean to start a war on whether this is a good thing or totally unnecessary, I know the opinions on this vary widely) and I am a do my own oil changes kinda guy. Was wondering if anyone had done it yet and if there was...

    Windows and Windshield tinted.

    I did 30% ceramic on front two doors, but I think its illegal to tint the windshield here...looks awesome though.

    Can a Heated steering wheel be added?

    This is the ONLY option that I really wanted and didn't get. Living in Texas I don't need it but wanted it because my hands are always cold. I think anything is possible but I think this will cost north of 1k to do. So frustrating because the $125 option cost is a no brainer but it's probably...

    LED License Plate Lights

    Really hard to tell any difference in 24 lumens vs 65. Oh well, both seem to work.

    Anybody else disappointed in the tail light brightness?

    I know many want a V8 option (myself included), but I'd be VERY VERY surprised if they actually do that. One can hope!

    Anybody else disappointed in the tail light brightness?

    Interesting. The exhaust tips look smaller to me as well. Could that indicate an engine change?
