    Mine was built mid February and ready for pickup on the 30th. Took maybe 3-4 days to ship, think only 3

    2019 On-road ride?

    If only. My time on YouTube has sadly taught me otherwise

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

    Yes, and apparently. Good thing I didn't get a 2019 given mud is about all I seem to encounter.

    Can't edit the post currently, but here is the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbBcQaDdqeQX_MEOYLHs-dsLANpfEz83D So you're the guy who loaned his truck to Doug...nice!

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

    2019 Card. The modes are different. Seems "Weather" is now "Slippery", and "Mud/Sand" is now "Deep Snow/Sand". Boo Amusingly, some parts of the Raptor Supplement have been updated, and other parts haven't (there's at least one reference to Weather mode, and it still shows the pre-production...

    I love the blue stitching - black and blue is my jam - but I still think I prefer the regular seats. So how is the on-road ride? Keep hearing it is more firm than my truck, which is unfortunate in my opinion. Also: I've been saying it all along!

    Yes, I completely concur. I was greatly disappointed the Raptor Assault instructors had nothing to say about all of this, as it was the main reason I went. I suspect the only people that know are the design engineers. I've actually sort of tried to contact them through Ford Performance, but as...

    I'm not too concerned about reliability; if it fails, it just locks you somewhere into the 0-100 range. If it fails at the midpoint, the shock functions exactly like a normal gen 2 dumb shock would. I do agree with the firmness on the road - I like the soft roll my 17 has. I've written about...

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

    Thanks for the kind words! The torsen LSD is the best choice for our truck, and - in my opinion - a better choice in general. There's only a few situations where a front ELD would be better, and a myriad of situations where it would be worse. For most of the situations where an ELD would...

    Again, the shocks are reactive using the computer, the only thing the integration does is allow for pretuning. So the body roll, etc is not essential to integration. If the shock computers for the bike unit can react fine as a standalone unit, there's no requirement for the shocks to plug into...

    TFL was wrong on options, it has only increased about $2k from the 17 numbers (most of that inflation). My fully loaded SCAB (no decals or interior accent) was $63 OTD. The integration is window dressing. It just allows for pretuning - the bulk of the work can be done by the shock computer, as...

    2017 3.5 Ecoboost Timing Chain or Wastegate Rattle?

    Did you post in the HARO group awhile back? I've seen two cam phaser replacements in that group.

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Idiots abound online, as evidence by TFL youtube channel comments. I've seen it from several sources now - the midpoint compression/rebound settings of the 19 is what the 17/18 is set to. So (just as you'd expect) the 17/18 is set 50/50, and the Fox Live can go 100/0 or 0/100.

    2019 Raptor "preview"

    People keep saying that - Ford only says that to push 19 sales. The mountain bike units are standalone with their own computer and battery. Fox would be retarded not to use this tech in aftermarket shocks - all they gotta do is provided a power solution and everything else is pretty easy. I will...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    I have slid around a tiny bit offroading, but nothing to the point where I thought I needed/wanted a different seat. Given the supposed wear-life of alcantara (not to mention cleaning considerations) I'd rather have the leather seats unless it was truly just a desert toy. Reading their article...

    2017 3.5 Ecoboost Timing Chain or Wastegate Rattle?

    Sorry to hear that. I was told by a friend that got his fixed in early July that new parts were supposed to hit end of the month. Seen more trucks go in since, but nobody has told me anything.

    2017 3.5 Ecoboost Timing Chain or Wastegate Rattle?

    I actually queried the facebook group on this, no response. I'm in Texas, use stop and go frequently, and have had no indication of this issue at 20k miles.

    Yokohama GEOLANDAR MT G003

    No direct experience, but there are other tires I know that have consistently performed better in reviews and comparisons. If you want a solid M/T for a great price, the Firestone M/T2 has been getting rave reviews from everyone running them. I am considering them against Cooper ST Maxxes as my...

    I'll get to ride in a 19 or two at Texplex week after next, so I should be able to give detailed comparisons (as well as video) of the shocks and seats. You can tell they make a difference upon landing, shocks don't compress nearly as much, but it will be interesting to see just how much the...

    GEN 2 Should order the front axle with TORSEN® Differential $500

    Torsen is a no brainer, and it is an lsd. 4A is safe for all conditions, and necessary if you want to put all the power down in sport mode (or even normal mode)

    No way, is that Mike Brown in Granbury? If so I got a picture of my 17 in that exact spot. Also if so I'm going need to see your truck lol

    what mods are you running, if any? Sorry to hear about your troubles.

    For those curious, I too have seen some of the videos from the FPRS. The new truck took a pretty substantial jump and upon landing, only compressed the back shocks halfway. I'm pretty certain my truck would have at least hit 80-90% of travel doing the same jump.
