Living close to the ocean, I noticed some rust when the wheels were rotated. I think I'll go with the Amsoil HDMP. Is there a supporting vendor on FRF, or is it best to buy from the factory? I would guess Autozone doesn't carry it. Thanks...

I've seen a few in Florida... Most of the time, any kind of wave would not be seen: (i.e. too fast, too far, etc.). Only 5 or so could see my full hand wave. Two waved back with a piece sign and a full hand wave from the passenger. This is a bit of an old thread. Any updates on the...

Raptor Day in Cocoa Beach/Merritt Island I saw three Raptors in the area in one day... First a black SCREW traveling south on Courtney. I waved but he didn't see me. Then a second black one turning away from me with the FORD on the grill painted Blue, rather unique, looked nice. Next was...

I've had this happen to mine as well, Florida gets pretty hot in the summer. Originally I thought it might be the thermostat. However, being a Software Engineer, I think now it is some type of programming issue since many owners report this problem. I have two workarounds you might try: 1)...

I haven't used uShip.com, but I would definitely consider them. I was going to move my truck and received some great quotes from the U-Ship independent drivers. I drove instead since my company paid per mile. Things to consider when using them: insurance coverage; type of transportation...

After seeing the 2017, I am sooooo happy I got my 2014. It was one of the last SE Raptors in Florida.

I have the SA-680 and was considering the Breedlove, Scorpion super-duty foldover mount http://www.k0bg.com/images/antenna/breedlovefo.gif Just not sure where to attach with the Retraxpro bed cover. Perhaps reinforcing the cannister.

Thanks for the excellent advice. I realize it wouldn't be a true Roush, (and I was joking about the decals). I'm just trying to group the installation into stages if that make sense. If there is a cost benefit to install the basic kit, I think that might be the best choice.

I am interested in upgrading my 2014 to a Roush, but it's a bit expensive to do all at once. So I was wondering how I might do it in stages. For example, add the CAI first, perhaps the exhaust next, etc. I would appreciate an approach on how I could eventually have a Roush system. What...

I purchased a Scorpion Antenna a few years ago with the idea of mounting it to my truck, which I did not own yet. Now that I have my Raptor, I was considering how I could mount it, (it is huge). I recently installed a RetraxPro MX cover which makes it more difficult to place. I'd rather not...

Welcome to the FRF from Cocoa Beach. You're gonna love the Retrax Pro MX, my best add-on so far.

Yup, it's fun to work at KSC. Still it's just a job, sitting thru 4 hour meetings discussing management stuff. What's awesome is getting into my Raptor after work and driving home. There's at least one other Raptor here.

I'll take a shot at answering your question, even though I'm just a novice compared to others on FRF. I believe the ride may be based on what you previously had before. In my case, I went from a Honda Civic Hybrid to a Raptor, (just a minor change in gas mileage, 51 to 15 mpg). The Honda was...

My Raptor dreaming of the Dunes of Mars

Welcome to the FRF... I spent a year in Riyadh, so I envy you having a Raptor there, enjoy!

I spotted a Black Raptor headed west on Thursday (July 4th Weekend) right around the Disney Power Pole (Shaped like Mickey Mouse), merging onto I4. I gave a wave. Also saw A Black Roush in the O&C parking lot at Kennedy Space Center today. There seems to be a few of us at KSC. If you ever...

I have a similar problem in the hot Florida sun. I did some experimenting with the a/c and think I understand why it appears to not work that well. Being a Software Engineer by trade, I blame it on the temperature control unit/software. Usually I have mine set at 72. When I first get...

Installed bed LED lights, I feel bad it was so inexpensive:

I recently installed a Retrax Pro bed cover and wanted LED lights for the bed. It's dark in there with a cover. The idea I had was to wire as many have suggested, down the taillight and through the frame, and connect at the fuse box. I had previously installed a Blackvue DR650 which came...

Thanks for the update on shipping.

I first dreamed of the Raptors when I saw the 2010's, but waited until the last 3 2014 Special Editions in Florida were available to buy. Picked one up from the showroom that day, (last one left in Florida as the other two had already sold). My addiction started small: Just valve stem...

Thanks for the suggestion ARH1956... Not only did my Kahr PM9 fit the factory pocket perfectly, it also looks like it is part of the console itself.

Thanks Noah, Excellent video...now I understand! I appreciate your help and also thanks to all the supporting members and sponsors of the FRF. I am now a supporting member.

Speaking of installation, I am a bit confused with the instructions available online. I have seen Noah's excellent YouTube video on his Raptor, but the instructions from the Nav-TV website are a bit lacking, and involve the airbag removal. The installation should be the same for the 2013 &...
