    Ford.com now has ford raptor 2019 vehicle.

    There's also trail control, which is pretty cool. But all the new colors are a far cry from the 17-18 colors, and the tailgate applique has new lettering coloring too.

    Gen 2 Driver's Interior Door panel and Fender Flare

    New is about $300, so I was thinking about $130 or so, buyer to pay shipping.

    Build and Price for 2019s is now live

    I'm going Friday. Heard they were unlocked this time, and one had the new seats. Did you get to sit in it?

    Build and Price for 2019s is now live

    I was thinking about upgrading to a 19, but I'd lose Shadow black, ambient lighting, and my moonroof, and $4k. Not a sacrifice I want to make for trail control. Undoubtedly the Fox Live valve shocks will be available as standalones later on, once they've proven themselves. 4x4 sticker must be...

    Gen 2 Driver's Interior Door panel and Fender Flare

    Hah, I do not - tho the first replacement that came in was for the passenger side, and I sent it back.

    Build and Price for 2019s is now live

    Build and price for the 2019 is now live. A 2019 just like mine (except the moonroof that's not longer available), is about $3k over what I paid in 2017. $4k including moonroof. The colors also look to be pretty accurate to what I've seen in real life. Agate is much more silver (due to the...

    Gen 2 Driver's Interior Door panel and Fender Flare

    I have the driver's interior door panel for sale, as well as my old front left fender flare. Both as pictured. The fender flare may need a new clip or two (<$5 from the dealer).

    GEN 2 Offroad Drive Modes

    At Raptor Assault they claim mode selection will check to make sure it is safe to switch before doing so, but I find no backing to that claim. The only speed restriction is 4L, between 0-3 I think. Barely coasting

    GEN 2 Offroad Drive Modes

    The manual and raptor supplement detail the modes quite well. The main thing you should note is that they are well calibrated, and you should trust them to do what they were designed to do. Normal, Sport, and Weather for the road, the rest for off road. To answer your question directly, in...

    Installed Bakflip MX4 - love this thing

    I've had heavy rain with my MX4, even with slightly worn seals no (or very minimal) water intrusion. It is as waterproof as you'll get, IMO.

    Raptor Noob - Negotiating a 2019

    Raptor shocks have always been internal bypass, with different dampening zones (gen 1 has eight, IIRC, gen 2 has nine). The Fox Live valve adds another adjustment on top of this. To explain it simply, the Live valve controls the total volume of oil in the shock at any given .005ths of a second...

    Raptor Noob - Negotiating a 2019

    The Fox Live Valve should - if they work as advertised - improve ride quality in all domains. You're getting the same internal bypass system the Raptor has always had, with the added adjust-ability of an aftermarket shock except that a computer is doing it on the fly, much more rapidly. The...

    Backflip MX4 Seal

    Mine has done this pretty much since day 1. Thought it was normal. Tried to adjust it a bit to no avail, but I'll admit I wasn't forcing it much.

    37" Tire Regrets?

    Another tire to consider is the Cooper ST Maxx. Just as good (if not better) than Toyo or Nitto, but not nearly as heavy. Only a few lbs per tire more than the K02s. If you are driving seriously offroad, you're going to need fenders to properly fit 37s. And then you'll start breaking...

    Fox Factory Racing 3.0 Shocks w/Deavers

    And this is exactly why the Fox Live Valve shocks should be pretty amazing. You'll have a computer making these adjustments for you 200x a sec. A friend runs Icon 3.0s in his Gen 1 - he has a street setting, a tow setting, a high speed whoops setting, and a general offroad setting that Icon...

    GEN 2 Why does this thing have to be a piece of shit?

    - Exhaust tips seem to be a regional thing. It appears salt or road coatings wears them out quickly - not a problem down south. - Red stripe is hit or miss. Mine is basically new but I also am mindful not to grab it. Pretty common for it to be worn out by 60-70k on the Gen 1s. This is...

    Can't decide on what tires to buy

    Haha, I do use 4A, but the stock tires are known for their poor skid rating and bad wet performance. The fact it is comparable to driving on black ice on an old truck with bald tires makes me think there has to be a better alternative - and that's while going to a more aggressive tire.

    Can't decide on what tires to buy

    If you are using 4A and can't stay on the road, you've got a serious driving problem. Try driving in the rain with the KO2s in 2H. I have hit puddles going straight and lost traction - they are quite frankly terrible. My wife told me they were bad, and that's when I really started to realize...

    Can't decide on what tires to buy

    A friend who ran both the stock tires and 35 RGs for quite some time said the RGs were much stiffer, and made the ride a lot more truck-like. The offroad performance was improved slightly, from what he said.

    Rear Window Moulding (B-Pillar Trim) Replacement

    Hopefully no one else has to replace this piece, but in case you have to, I made a video on how it is done. There are four screws and four snaps. It is really easy, takes maybe fifteen minutes tops. The part costs $60 at full price.

    GEN 2 2018 SCrew Early Experience: Update

    Even with the sucky stock tires, the handling is great, ESPECIALLY for a truck this powerful and light. I am the first to say the tires lack grip in all circumstances, but even so, the feedback is always enough to allow for quick correction without concern. Exempting wet tarmac, that is.

    Raced a 2.7...

    Yes, tires, weight, and drag coefficient saps a lot of the power from the Raptor. Actually, a 2.7 Eco will beat a Gen 2 Raptor on the street - IIRC it is currently the fastest in the lineup. That is until the 2019 Limited hits the market, anyway.

    Cabin Air Filter replacement

    Do you guys use recirc on dusty roads/offroading? I did and mine was pretty clean at 17.5k. In fact, had I not gone to all the effort getting to it, I wouldn't have replaced it.

    GEN 2 Start up rattle

    A few things from a conversation with a friend that has been dealing with this: When I asked about what problems other than noise could/did arise: From what I've seen of the 8 or so cases thus far, the noise may or may not be fixed by the repair, and seems to be a split on whether or not it...

    GEN 2 2018 SCREW long distance trip report with MPG

    No kidding. Well put together too, unlike most of the setups I've seen.
