In 2017 25% of F150s came with the V8. There is a very measurable portion of buyers that will only buy a full size truck with a V8, actual performance be damned. Ford knows this so I wouldn't be so sure about the death of V8 in the F150. I could see it being removed as an option for the lower...

:bs:No it's not. The Bronco has not even been officially announced yet alone a Raptor version. The US is not currently and probably will never get the Ranger Raptor. Nor will Ford ever put a V8 back into the Raptor. You can fall for clickbait blog crap all you want reality is the ecoboost is...

You do not need to "oil the turbos" in this truck as they cooled by the engine coolant system through convection even when the engine is off. You are thinking of older systems where the turbos were only cooled by oil. The various parameters of start/stop have been mentioned already, but I will...

Whatever discount you received for posting your shill review here is fine, but this $120 product is nothing more than a couple of switches in a nice package. Price should half of what it is. Ironic that you don't want to pull a factory plug, but are ok connecting an aftermarket product with no...

This is ridiculous. Having a warranty issue with one truck does not qualify you for a discount on a NEW truck. Dealership has done nothing wrong...didn't even fight the guy on the engine issue...if anything be mad at Ford Corporate for not extending the warranty. Low ball trade in...well I...

I would let them replace the engine and move on. You are getting a new zero mile engine covered under warranty for free (I assume). They aren't going to let you drive a new 19 off without paying the difference anyway. If you want to pay up for a 19 sure you can ask, but I wouldn't expect much.

Maybe if you didn't put some shady aftermarket tune on it it would not have blown up? :shitsweak: Not really a factory engine anymore in that case. Anyway I agree with your forthcoming argument that a mild tune should not blow an engine and you should still try to negotiate some sort of good...

Ecoboost turbos are cooled by the both the coolant and engine oil. When you turn the engine off fresh coolant is continuously moved through the system by convection until lower temps are reached. Basically truck off = turbos still being cooled. The old turbos you are thinking off (like from...

Never. They sold every Raptor they could make just fine with a TT6. The only reason the V8 even exists in the F150 is for the "I'll never buy a truck without a V8" people.

https://www.f150forum.com/f118/auto-start-stop-disable-via-trailer-wiring-connection-413265/ But it also disables some other things too. To disable start/stop I highly recommend you do it the right way with Forscan rather them removing wires or adding jumpers.

Any money used to pay off your loan can't be used for something else. Personally, I would keep investing as you are young and can eat some losses should stocks head south. Time in the market is more important than timing the market. Plenty of blue chip dividend type stocks that aren't super...

Did you call wherever you bought it from to see if it's returnable? I doubt a restocking fee and return shipping would be more than the $500 you are eating.

P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2 Anyone else seen this? Very odd that the truck would eat a cat after barely 5K miles (2018 model). I have driven the truck off road a couple of times, but the Ford dealer said there was no physical damage to the cat (whew), but it was...

I get what you are saying, but I meant more along the lines of it has its limitations. The beltways that surround a lot of major cities, not that great if speeds are constantly going from 70 to 40 because of random backups. Light traffic it works great. Loved it in the country as it would...

Adaptive cruise is great. One caveat - it brakes WAY harder than a human would if traffic is slowing considerably in front of you. So hard I've had people almost rear end me...it's better for you to hit the brakes yourself if you notice traffic slowing. Even at the closest distance it...

I believe those recommendations were based on doing a mix of both on the same day (like you do at Raptor Assault) so they don't have to waste time airing up and down everyone's tires. Not run 32 28 all the time. If you aren't going offroad stick to the door jam.

If you need to tow 10K regularly the Raptor is not for you. Ford Bronco is 2020 directly from Ford's mouth. 2019 F150 limited will have the Raptor engine as an option and should have good towing capacity. Considering an older tow rig like a GMT800. Since you are racing a BMW you are already...

They are pretty close and depends on whose doing the testing. Car and Driver had 5.1 raptor vs 5.7 eco. I think the Raptor is quick in the sense that some random person in your truck will definitely be impressed the acceleration, especially for such a heavy truck. Now I had the 6.2L V8 AMG...

The Assault was fun, but they have completely neutered the "baja run" portion and should just get rid of it. The real story about the guy that flipped is that he did it literally from a stop. Freak accident. Not like he was bombing the truck at 80mph and lost it like instructors want you to...

Appreciate the explanation - thank you for providing a real answer.:headbang:

I don't see how linking a $1300 bar that's different from the one in the BD 2017 raptor kit answers the question as to why it's worth 5x the price. :shitsweak: "The least of which is the fact that they are 2+ times as bright." In what way is a 13.5K lumen bar twice as bright as a 12K lumen bar?

I was looking at these and serious question, why are they junk? Comparing the 30 inch lightbar of BD vs. Rough Country. 13.5K (24 led) vs 12K lumens (30 led) (little more light with less LEDs) IP69 vs IP67 (little more waterproof) 120W vs 150W (little less power)...

Will there be a Supercab version of the TRX? All I see in press pics is the land yacht version. Also no way the lights, bed rack, two extra spares, beadlocks, etc come on the truck. That's like $5K+ in aftermarket parts. It will look a lot more like the current rebel than the promo shot...

If you are happy with the deal that's cool, but $5K over is terrible, especially as a repeat customer. You can say Socal is a tough market, but the reality is that as long as people continue to pay ADMs dealers are going to keep charging them.
