    My 2019 Raptor Shelby Baja Quick Impression!

    Do you have actual words to write about the truck? Like a few sentences? Posting a "quick" 15 minute video and spamming subscribe to my channel is not very helpful..:gay:

    Tire pressure gauge and inflator

    I use the Viair 88p which is 45% duty cycle i.e. more than enough to air up all four 35" tires from 25 to 35 or whatever. Built in gauge. Only $65 and fits in an ammo can. That dinky one powered off the cigarette lighter isn't going to work. Power tank is obviously great, but $$$...

    2018 Production Numbers ?

    I want to say around 20K, but I don't have a hard source for that. Similar to 2017 which was 23K worldwide (17K in the USA) per Raptor Finder when the site was working.

    Trans temp display

    Yes it is a forscan change. The one you want is "Engine temp & Transmission temp shows above gauges (8" Clusters only)" https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uDSQ1Z5a2Wt8-kjrSiVSlDFGFHnfeuhb3RTMVz95730/htmlview#

    Washing materials

    You can still use the touchless ones that have brackets that measure the size of the vehicle first. Hand wash is great and all, but in January in MD sometimes you just want a quick rinse.

    Tune and warranty

    The elephant in the room here is that everyone knows it could potentially be a HUGE battle to get a tuned truck warrantied if the engine blows. Notice how many people say things like "Ford can't tell" "Flash it back before you go in" etc to hide the fact it is tuned. If people are so confident...

    California Raptor Price Fixing

    The only, and it is THE ONLY, reason dealers in CA continue to charge ADMs is because dumbass rich people who don't care continue to pay them. How many ecoboost mustangs have adms on them? None...because no one will buy them. I had the same issue on the east coast and had to go the midwest...

    Dealer Issue

    Nearly all of NY is less than a ten hour drive from Fenton. When you found out shipping wasn't an option, did you even consider driving there to drop off your trade in and driving back? Selling your truck locally then flying in and driving back? Or did you just start yelling over the phone at...

    Rumor: The Ford F-150 Raptor Is Getting the Mustang GT500's Supercharged V-8

    Not happening. Just another clickbait article with no real source. Ford has no reason or incentive to put a different engine in a truck they sell as fast as they can make. Remember all the articles about how the 2019 Raptor was "definitely" getting the V8? smh

    I see very few SCab Raptors vs. SCrews

    I have a SCAB too...this is just nonsense though. This is the same dumb gen1 is better than gen2 cause it has a V8 type thinking that is seen throughout the forums...I do think the SCAB is better off road, but as a daily truck the larger full tank and actual rear doors are better if you don't...

    Auto Start Disabling option?

    Perhaps it disables start/stop by disabling the battery management system? That's how it works when you disable start/stop via Forscan. If you are asking the simplest way to do it, I'd do the trailer plug under the dash. https://www.f150forum.com/f118/disable-auto-start-stop-seconds-406110/...

    Disable front clearance/amber lights?

    Interesting that yours are always on. On 2018s at least the amber grill lights are not on when in auto mode during the day (like NE Raptor said)...that's why people use Forscan to modify them to always be on.

    Brand new 2019 SCrew stolen within 24 hours of picking it up

    Look obviously it sucks that your brand new truck was stolen, bbbuuuttt what percentage your fault do you actually think this is for leaving the FOB in the truck? I'd say 100%. Your posts in this thread seem to be all about how the truck was targeted by professionals while taking zero...

    I see very few SCab Raptors vs. SCrews

    It was 10% for MY2017 overall for SCABs (2300 out of ~24000). My guess would be that 2018/19 were lower as the first year included a lot of customer orders, like gen 1 scab owners wanting to upgrade, whereas in later years you had more dealer ordered stock sitting on lots. Dealers almost...

    Ceramic Coating & PPF Cost

    I ceramic coated the truck myself with Cquartz and did some paint correction for like $300 in supplies. Plenty of tutorials on youtube.

    Auto stop eliminator

    Yes disassembling part of the dash and hacking in a piece of third party wiring is surely cleaner than using a built in factory software program to accomplish the same thing

    Raptor assault

    Since you have your VIN and truck you can signup as soon as the dates are announced. No need for them to contact you first (I did receive a mailer several weeks after purchase). They will call your purchasing dealer to confirm you were the one who bought your truck (or at least they say they do).

    ‘19 Agate Blk Raptor selling at INVOICE!

    $600 over invoice is not the same as "at invoice" now is it?

    ARB Twin compressor install

    I use a Viair 88P which works just fine for filling up the tires...I keep it under the passenger seat in an ammo can and pull it out when needed...if that's all you are looking to do with the ARB. For the ARB you could also mount the single version in the engine bay.

    Upgrade 2018 adaptive cruise control to have stop and go?

    2017-18 Raptors don't have the physical LIDAR unit (located in or near the rearview mirror I think) that Fords with stop and go ACC have so it is currently not possible to add. Have not seen any posts of conversions yet. Definitely not possible using just Forscan.

    2018 Black Friday Raptor blow out just passing along

    There is so much money in the DC metro area that every Raptor on the lot is gonna be marked up. When I was looking every Raptor from Richmond to Pittsburgh had at least a $5K ADM. Now you might be able to find an 18 at MSRP now and can probably order a 19 at MSRP if you want to wait six...

    GEN 2 New here can someone clear the air?

    The V8 would not be offered if there wasn't a sector of the market Ford was expecting to capture by continuing to offer it. Or did I miss the part where Ford removed the V8 as an option for 2019 because they were so sure everyone would buy a V6 instead?

    GEN 2 New here can someone clear the air?

    They were two independent statements...not meant to imply the 25% will only buy V8s. It does mean a good amount of them knowingly chose the V8 over the V6 though. How many of them would not buy an F150 at all if the V8 option disappeared? Who knows, but I'm sure Ford has run the numbers on it.
