    Factory Radio won't pull up all SiriusXM channels

    Agree. SXM testing my patience too. Simple math **** and play music. If I want your worthless opinion I’ll listen to the worthless opinion channel. ****= stop talking shut the puck up

    Ford engineers have sick sense of humor. Oil change

    A shot in the dark here but if I turn the wheels as in a left turn and leave them there for the oil change it reduces the difficulty of getting at the filter for me. And makes it easier to get to the drain plug.

    2024 Raptor will MSRP for $77,980

    i think a part of the problem may have been FORD watching the adm nonsense and wanting a piece of that but being too slow and behind the curve now they have outrageous prices, the newness of the ‘new’ model has withered and they’re stuck. Let them pile up on lots. Car market is hurting now as...

    Ford Raptor SCAB RIP (2010-2020)

    I’m still boosting around in mine. It’s developed a buzz underneath however..intermittent…it seems a bit early for a wastegate to be that worn at 21k …so hopefully just a plate or something. Really enjoy the truck and like the nimbleness of the scab. There are times I toss a couple of grown...

    2024 Ford Raptor

    ya, and I think a lot of those packages are for Ford's convenience, not ours.

    Gen 4 500hp dark horse V8

    Personally, doesn't have to be a v8. Time for more power though. And lighter. Ford can certainly do this. For $90k I don't it's unreasonable to ask for this and get it. I would rather advocate for this than settle for the status quo or mock those that desire it.:)

    Gen 4 500hp dark horse V8

    Lets try this (presuming we’re not going to get screwed by this ev nonsense): Ford should already be developing a follow on high HP motor for f150. Ram going to a 540 hp soon in the rho TRX stand in. Personally I need to be at close to 575-600 to be sated. But when I factor in the cost of...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Uh oh. Nothing like putting the cart before the horse.

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    KalEl, any chance of start up audio outside the truck and maybe some in cabin driving? Mod looks great.

    Gearing? Transmission efficiency?

    Gen 4 500hp dark horse V8

    It’s hard to remember the raptor is really about the suspension. Where weight is a player. The finally putting coils in the rear gen 3 def makes a nice difference. And it’s a Baja truck which I prefer with just enough low speed chops to get me where I want, in that high speed context the eb...

    2024 Ford Raptor

    Those msrp’s are outrageous, much less the adm’s.

    Yep with a kill switch onboard.

    Gen 4 500hp dark horse V8

    I was one of those who wondered aloud about it. Interesting Ford put the 700 hp gt500 engine in the raptor with glee, but when you have 700 hp …why not?. The 500 hp not so much. Anyway point I wanted to make is I ‘think’ ram will continue the trx as the rho with A 540 hp inline 6 cyl 3...

    Is 2024 considered G4?

    Still a gen 3. What would a gen 4 actually be like is a better question. And when.

    Gubmint kill switch.

    Something I find unsettling and unacceptable…

    GEN 2 Heavily tuned 3.5 grenades…

    Interesting how bad it can get when something goes badly awry in these engines. I have no idea why other than a ‘tune’ of some sort. E85 intercooler bigger injectors etc…. 2019. Enjoy.

    R vs HummerEV

    This is like racing a camaro and a mustang at Baja.

    5.2 supercharged engine production set to continue until at least 2028

    I agree with the comments regarding ev’s being forced on us and despise the ridiculous subsidies for ev’s and the resulting corruption. But I think they have a place going forward….like hydrogen and ammonia motors might in the future. The tech for any of these is no where close for me to adopt...

    RAM 1500 TRX dead after MY2024

    Here’s the developing chief engineer talking about the hurricane. It’s tfl so you know but interesting about the engine itself. I guess the RHO is the TRX stand in until they bri it back.

    New Raptor delivered on Tuesday

    We drive in blacked out with nods in an older 4runner. Then walk to the shoot position. Use IR illumination mounted on truck. That’s a really nice new truck to use that way but it will certainly do it.
