    2020 Changes and F-150 Order Guide

    Don't think so. The base price for a '19 SCREW without D&D is $55,840. So looks like the base price for a '20 SCREW increased by $350.

    Asshat in an Infinity Qx70 got an education in Raptor performance this morning.

    There's nothing wrong with hammering on the throttle from time to time. My daily commute has me in stop and go traffic most of my drive. So when I get a little open road, you're god d-mn right I'm gonna open it up a bit. If you think what OP did is illegal or stupid, please turn in your Rap...

    Picked up a 2019 Ranger Raptor Tonight

    Pfffft. I bet it sounds like trash. I heard the 5.2 TTv8 is gonna drop in it next year.

    Asshat in an Infinity Qx70 got an education in Raptor performance this morning.

    My parents drive one of those Infiniti SUVs (either the 60 or 70), and that thing can't compete with a Rap. Glad he gave you the finger salute though; Must have made it 10x more satisfying.

    I want to love my new truck, but still havent "connected" with it.

    @7six2 Have you considered a pedal commander? I'm in a similar situation as you regarding the tune; I'd really like to get one, but am concerned about the warranty implications. I may wind up getting a PC just for a little extra fun. But tbh the stock modes are "good enough" for me. But it...

    I want to love my new truck, but still havent "connected" with it.

    Ok, so things I would recommend: 1) Look into a tune. You can get them customized for your driving style, and that should help quite a bit. 2) There are several documented ways of disabling the auto-stop feature. 3) Have you checked your tire pressure? Especially on the rears. I run mine at...

    2020/2021 Raptor to get the GT500’s V8?

    Value of our raptors after v8 debut

    Wait wait wait.... This dude traded his Raptor for a Fiat (also brags about $4$ used Raptor being worth more than a new Fiat), is still posting on the Raptor forums, and is accusing others of being in denial? BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh man, that's some funny sh*t. In a pathetic way, of course.

    2020/2021 Raptor to get the GT500’s V8?

    Depends on your definition of "stay ahead". Ford has spent a decade refining the Raptor at production scale (save the two year layoff). By the time the TRX hits the pavement/dirt, Ford will have a 12-13 year advantage. There's not a chance Fiat will be able to immediately match what Ford has...

    Dash Cam and Wiring

    Thanks for all the photos/feedback, guys. You've given me some ideas. Think I'll pick up a dash cam in the next week or so.

    Ford authority/new motor

    I'll be honest, it took longer than I thought for him to bail on his new Dodge. Or, more precisely put, the other way around.

    What do you suppose sounds worse: The Raptor's engine, or your whining? I know, we'll ask your fellow subway riders.

    Dash Cam and Wiring

    I've been considering picking up a dash cam for my '19 Rap since I got it. Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but came across a review article on Ars the other day that I found pretty useful. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/06/guidemaster-the-best-dash-cams-to-guard-your-every-drive/ My...

    No gps?? (2019)

    The updates will take awhile (I've owned mine for over four months, and still keep getting prompted without an actual update). I plan to update via USB when I get around to it. As for the no GPS indicator, I receive that from time to time. But like you, I use waze and whenever the no GPS pops...

    Value of our raptors after v8 debut

    So I think you agree with me then? My point wasn't that sound has no relevance to vehicle choice, it was that engine performance and sound are mutually exclusive, and I don't understand those who couple the two. If you want to purchase a vehicle based on sound, that's your choice and I won't...

    Value of our raptors after v8 debut

    Because you'll be screaming, "But mine sounds cooler!" at the TTV6 that blows past you at 8,000ft? I've honestly never understood sound being included in the same narrative as performance. Sound is an emotional reaction, and should be categorized with choices like paint color and carbon fiber...

    2019 Need to knows before signing the papers

    I came from a 2016 F150 XLT to a 2019 Raptor, and I don't notice much of a difference in road feel -- Highway or otherwise. I'd say the shocks contribute a bit in terms of braking and cornering (softer), but the '19s improved that with the live shocks. (My brother has a '17 Rap, and it's...

    Adam's H20 Guard & Gloss Results

    The only issue I've had with the Ceramic Boost that's notable is it leaves high spots like crazy; Especially if you over-apply it. (They're easily taken out, just adds time to the process) It's not a deal-breaker by any means, but its application just isn't as easy as Adam's Detail Spray...

    My Dilemma

    Personally, I wouldn't. I bought an 802a because I wanted all the extra tech/comfort features. Are they worth the premium I paid dollar for dollar? Probably not; But the extra cost was the only way I could get them... So worth it to me. Which is really the point. Would the stripped '19...

    2018 Chipped door handle

    I had the same thing happen to mine. The dealer body shop was able to pull it off and repaint. The dealer paid, but I seem to recall it was less than $100. I've ordered paint from touchupdirect.com before with no issues.

    Upgraded Beadlock Wheels from '17 to '19

    I've always been curious to know the weight difference, but haven't been able to find any actual data. If OP could weigh them and report back, I'm sure a lot of people would love to see the comparison.

    SPORT MODE SUCKS

    ^^ this Honestly, why would anyone use sport mode in (heavy) traffic? I think it's great for open driving. But when I'm in my daily commute, I'm usually in standard (too lazy to switch it) or tow/haul when I want something a little different. Or, for a non-truck analogy: My miter saw is...

    Cracked or not Cracked?

    I can agree with some of this, at least in theory. However, push-button start is certainly a feature I enjoy and will prioritize in future purchases. I hate having things in my pockets, and will leave my key in my backpack most of the time. Push-button start coupled with keyless entry are...
