    Gen 3 whipple stage 1

    I gotcha and completely agree. I want to and plan to tune my truck (hopefully with Cobb) but they seemed to make it very clear that applying just an electronic tune will void the warranty on everything. When I bought the vehicle they said they “scan” the whole car anytime it comes in for...

    Gen 3 whipple stage 1

    I mean if you tune the ECU (reflash) then it will be recorded by the black box on these gen 3s and they can see it. It literally says tuning the vehicle will void the warranty and when I received mine I had to sign a document stating I knew that. Maybe it’s at the discretion of the dealer but...

    Gen 3 whipple stage 1

    Yes tuning of any kind will void the warranty. The minute that ECU sees a new tune it will be recorded and ford techs will be able to see you added a tune even if you change it back. You can see some significant performance gains but you can kiss your decent MPG away and also goforbid something...

    Dirt bike does fit in the 5.5ft bed with Backlip MX4 tonneau/bed cover!

    So there are a few mounting points but I use the hooks towards the bottom of the front of the bed and use soft tie downs to the handlebars with a fork saver on the front wheel. Just with that it seems pretty solid but I could also mount to box link but that makes it more horizontal force rather...

    HVAC not so powerful? And other complaints

    Has anyone else noticed that when you have air coming out the footwells and the dash, the strength of the air coming out the dash is kind of weak? I’ve noticed that with both on the footwell vents blow a good deal stronger than the dash vents. I wish there was a way to do 50% closed on the...

    Engine vibration

    The same thing happens to me occasionally, although, with my truck, the exhaust has an awful rattle at idle which might contribute to it. I'm going to have them look at it along with a plethora of recalls and few other problems when i go in (been waiting 3 weeks on the exhaust still). I plan...

    Dirt bike does fit in the 5.5ft bed with Backlip MX4 tonneau/bed cover!

    Not super worried, they provided a lot of bumper strip for that point where it touches the window. Combined with the struts that pop up and can be locked in it was pretty solid. If it becomes and issue I’ll just buy more adhesive padding strips for that portion that rests on the window.

    Forscan to add R Mode & Trail Turn Assist?

    As far as I know nobody has gotten it yet. @topgun964 was the closest and @Antho is our FORSCAN expert but his part was cancelled and not sure when he will get it. But as far as I know now, I think some of the modules in the truck will definitely need to be updated to match the MY22 ones. My...

    Front grille shutters never close?

    So I think I’m going to: 1. relocate the horn and get one that’s slightly louder (just because I’ve always wanted a loud a$$ horn) 2. Put an AirTag hidden in there 3. Maybe get a serious car tracker, ford’s FordPass connect can be easily disabled once in the engine bay by removing a fuse. I’m...

    Front grille shutters never close?

    Hey y’all, So in light of the recent stories of theft among the raptor community, I have started to become concerned about the safety of my truck living in Dallas. I have never thought about this problem before but given that it took me a little over half a year to get my gen 3, I don’t even...

    Dirt bike does fit in the 5.5ft bed with Backlip MX4 tonneau/bed cover!

    Hey so the picture may be a little misleading. I didn’t strap down the bike yet so it was actually angled resting on the bed cover when I took the photos. When it’s strapped in it’s got about 1-2 inches gap between the fork guard and the bed cover and only the tires touch anything in/on the bed...

    Dirt bike does fit in the 5.5ft bed with Backlip MX4 tonneau/bed cover!

    Yessir! It works great. I especially like the rubber boots on one end that protect the plastic on the tailgate. I was worried it might be too short since the raptor is a little higher off the ground but it works great...

    Dirt bike does fit in the 5.5ft bed with Backlip MX4 tonneau/bed cover!

    Hey y’all, So its pretty common knowledge that one could fit a dirt bike (tailgate up) in the standard 5.5ft bed of an F150, but I couldn’t find much online about fitting one in with a tonneau/bed cover. Most people recommended getting a removable one that you’d take off when putting a bike in...

    Wireless Charger intermittently working on/off

    You’ll probably need to get warranty to replace. I had to do it with mine. Sucks but I didn’t even really use it anyway.

    Gen 2 build quality better?

    I agree with other in that implementation had some issue and it was almost all due to COVID. My GEN 3 has had: - blown turbo after 1300 miles (turbo replacement) - exhaust rattling issue (full replacement) - engine valve diaphragm cover seated incorrectly (found when turbo replaced) - very out...

    How many more yrs do we have of the Ford Raptor?

    Might be alone in this but I think ford will make a raptor EV fairly soon and it will kick all the other EV off-roading trucks out of the water. The lightning is probably the only EV truck I’d buy since it’s a reasonable price, decent range, and looks the best. Hopefully it lives up to its...

    Rust on rear seat brackets

    +1 for painting if they won’t cover, it will definitely protect it a little more from decay and look nicer.

    22 Raptor R Button

    Beautiful! Now I just hope that eventually we can add the R button to the MY21s haha

    Rust on rear seat brackets

    Ford likely will not cover unless it’s really bad. Surface rust often isn’t covered under warranty since it’s a cosmetic issue rather than functional. You can try your shot with your dealer’s service though. I haven’t noticed similar rust on mine btw. Also did you do those scratches on right...

    Driveshaft/Insulator Recall

    If your feeling it, you can also get an ESP or service contract out of them too if you just ask for compensation. Best of luck!

    Driveshaft/Insulator Recall

    If you have not contacted ford corporate do so immediately. They will likely help you out somewhere especially with the repair. The worst parts to replace are electrical ones so given this is mechanical at least you have that to your advantage. For me I’ve had to bring mine in 3 times for...

    Forscan to add R Mode & Trail Turn Assist?

    Fair enough, I’ll hopefully be receiving mine soon too so I can try some stuff out.

    Forscan to add R Mode & Trail Turn Assist?

    Dang that’s really unfortunate. Hopefully we will find a solution. I’m still going through the FORSCAN spreadsheets but I’ve been a bit busy lately and haven’t had the opportunity. @Antho any thoughts?

    Forscan to add R Mode & Trail Turn Assist?

    Have you tried updating the modules yet with the mongoose cable? Also, just to confirm when on that screen and holding the R button, does anything happen at all or is it as if the button weren't even plugged in? I could see it needing an update being the issue since that might have some of the...

    Gen2 features missing from the Gen3

    no luck, that didnt seem to do anything even though it wrote without errors. i assume there has to be a setting or combo of settings for it though.
