    Custom flat tow setup for Raptor

    I really like where you are going with this- Just a thought- when you are in final design/ testing add an option for a cooler rack . or even a portable winch mount?

    Custom flat tow setup for Raptor

    Looks good- I did not like taking the factory tow hooks off- when i added my tow bar set up. I will say at the time- I was impressed how much stronger the bracket was then the factory tow hooks- but your set up looks really nice and will load both hood at the same time. I would have bought...

    2018 left over "NEW" Raptor

    My concern would be book value- if totaled or stolen the insurance company is only paying for an 18. retail will also hurt- but not much if you keep it 5 or so year. Call you insurance company ask what they would pay- or get gap insurance. if you finance. I do like my 18 seats better. So i...

    Help needed setting up wiring for RV towing...

    I got a kit that just plugs in to the rear harness. Just zip tied along the drivers side frame rail. I think I got mine from Demco along with their Delta force break system. Keep in mind when running wires- you will need power from the rv to the raptor to keep things charged. ( I forgot...

    Finally got to drive the Raptor on the beach

    I drop mine to 20 psi when running on the beach in NJ. Keep in mind not all sand is the same- and it will change some depending on moisture. I have seem many states (like FL)where people drive 2 wd cars and RV's on the beach- that would not happen in NJ-

    Will there be a 2021 raptor?

    100% there will be a 2021 Raptor- but the question is will it be a gen 3? I'm thinking there will be some screaming deals when we are all allowed out again. Sorry about your Raptor.

    GEN 2 Off-roading your Gen 2: Driving Modes, Handling Characteristics, and more

    Its the DOT rating- and most PD would not care- But here in NJ we had a forest ranger who hated dirt bikes- and would write tickets to other wise league duel sport bikes if they had off road tires. He would see you at a gas station or dinner and pull in and write a ticket. I drop to 15 for...

    Looks great! What I really like is at a glance it looks normal. It does not look like a truck on 40's. the proportions are all correct.

Fast forward a year later, They have an apple car play app- that allows it to display the maps on the dash! I have only...

    2019 F150 Raptor Engine Replacement Advise

    sorry for your problems- But you are really stuck with what Ford offers to do. Try not to let it get the best of you. Sadly no one at Ford corporate really cares- but it sounds like you got a good dealer to help you through the bull. My advice is to be nice but firm- and do not threaten law...

    2019 SCREW Raptor Towing Cargo Trailer

    I have many miles towing ( not with my raptor) with and without a weight distribution hitch. I really like the Reese with sway control. Made for a much more relaxing tow. I assume a trailer that large would gave 4 wheels and breaks. The new f150s have some very cool electronics for breaks and...

    Any setup that can safely tow my 5500lb tractor?

    you will be 100 % maxed out- payload of raptor- 1200 lbs- ( with 150 lb driver only) so 800x 10% weight on truck= 400lbs left on truck ( should be 10-15%) good weight distribution hitch- 150 lbs= 250 payload left empty truck-6800 lbs + trailer 8000= 14,800, max combined weight rating...

    Squeaking leaf springs(factory)

    I have 9000 miles on mine and the squeaking is getting nuts- I starting to feel like I'm driving a 40+ year old beater truck. I'm thinking its the shackle bushings , but they do not have a grease fitting, So I guess its time to pull them a parts.

    New Raptor 0-60 4.85s

    So have you run a 1/4 with it? I keep thinking about adding a tune- would be really cool if you did a run in stock mode and with the tune in to see the difference.

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

    I like the running board logos- did you make them yourself? I have never seen them for sale.

    GEN 2 My first trip pulling my travel trailer with my 2019 SCAB!

    Raptors and camping they go together! Maybe for that small gas tank add one or two of these- https://rotopax.com/fuelpax-3-5.html My give you piece of mind. I have one in my truck- but since I have the bigger gas tank- My rotopax is for water.
