    Decision to Make Gen 2 or Gen 3

    You said it was a 2020. It shouldn't have phaser issues.

    Firestone jacked my Raptor

    Yup. The local store robbed a friend of mine forty years ago. Just stole him blind. I've never considered going to one since then.

    How much weight?

    It makes a difference whether the weight is in front or behind the rear axle. Behind, weight is transferred from the front and load on the axle, and the rear springs, is higher than the weight. Worst case is trailer tongue weight. In front of the rear axle, some of the weight is shared by the...

    Anyone running a battery tender on their 3rd Gen? This has been my SOP with every vehicle I've ever owned.... but now i'm not so sure

    Part of battery management is measuring the state of charge. Then they can prevent over charging, under charging, and over discharging. Computer controlled. Easy enough to connect to the frame instead of the battery.

    Installed My Ford Performance Catch Can

    So ... I'm thinking "catch can" is a euphemism? ;)

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    It’s win/win if they can get customers to pay for something that voids the warranty. More income, less expense.

    Thinking of Selling my 2023 Raptor R

    You're right. It's way too much. It's $900 more than most would pay. Mods are worth zero when you go to sell because the market is so small that it's almost impossible to match buyer and seller. Bottom line, don't mod unless you plan to keep it or don't mind losing it all.

    Do Better Ford

    Me too. But there's no way to know in time to get the exact options I want, so I will likely pull the trigger on a '25, just to be safe.

    2024 Raptor 801a, do I need to wait for tuner before increasing tire size and lift/level kit?

    You should measure it. With appropriate load. Then, depending on your tolerance for squat, decide on the spacer.

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Tow/haul mode does that nicely on gen 2. Is gen 3 different?

    2025 Order Guide Please....

    Ford's website is still a mess, I found a bunch of conflicting information both in the specs and in the configurator. I wouldn't take everything you see to the bank ...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    Given that Ford already had to detune the 3.5 to reduce low end torque and "protect" those crappy cheap worthless garbage rear leaf springs, I doubt it.

    Ford dumping ESG/DEI?

    Yes, but ... DEI/woke and climate extremism all go hand in hand. They are both products of mental illness, mostly in young women and the men who think they might get laid if they can appease those women. You seldom find one without the other. You could also argue that DEI is the reason that the...

    Purchasing a new Raptor R (ADM, etc...)

    Dealers are lying scum who will say anything to make a sale today instead of a maybe sale tomorrow. I'd take it with a grain of salt the size of the moon.

    Planning trip to Alaska and have a question about comms

    I guess the question worth circling around to is: Who do you need to communicate with, and when? Sounds like it's not just for emergencies.

    Planning trip to Alaska and have a question about comms

    iPhone 13 and later have a satellite SOS function. I switched to Apple because of it.

    Ford dumping ESG/DEI?

    It’s a good thing that Ford has such robust operating margins that they can afford such nonsense.
