    Home burglar alarm system extended to Raptor

    Why not just add the same motion sensor to the exterior of your house? I have one screwed under the soffits above the garage. When tripped, it turns on the driveway lights, which is much nicer than your standard motion flood lights that everyone recognizes and no one bats at eye at anymore...

    Ceramic Coating & PPF Cost

    Thanks for the reply. I wound up applying the coating to pretty much every non-plastic or glass part of the truck. So fenders and bumpers got a coating too. I can certainly see why it's as expensive as it is though... All in the process probably took north of 22 hours: Strip wash, iron...

    Ceramic Coating & PPF Cost

    Here's a question: Has anyone ceramic coated their fenders? I'm about to start applying the coating, and am wondering if I should coat the fenders as well. They're not painted, like the rest of the areas I plan to apply coating to.... So wondering if anyone else has done or had their fenders...

    Burning Smell from Engine

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. That's what I was hoping it was, but don't remember having similar experiences with past new vehicles. But then again, I'm a little more observant with this one, lol.

    Burning Smell from Engine

    Just looking to see if the community has any input before I head to the dealership for service... I've had my 2019 for about five weeks now, and just rolled over 500 miles on the odometer. Whenever I pull the truck into my garage and close the bay door, I can smell the odor of something...

    Rumor: The Ford F-150 Raptor Is Getting the Mustang GT500's Supercharged V-8

    lol, am I the only one who noticed the headline started with the word "Rumor"? Anyway, go ahead and slap a 5.2 v8 with a couple blowers in the Raptor and charge an extra $20k for it. Hopefully that'll keep the 3.5 v6 at its current price point, because it's plenty of engine for me.

    Picked up 2019 Performace Blue with Recaros

    I'm almost positive the 800a doesn't come with the Raptor mats, and I'm pretty sure the 801a doesn't either. But that being said, my frame of reference is my 802a truck...... I've been happy with them too. I'd prefer a little more coverage, especially on the driver's side. But I don't want...

    Picked up 2019 Performace Blue with Recaros

    I picked up a bottle of this: https://www.chemicalguys.com/fabric-guard-interior-protector/fabric-guard-interior-protector.html Applies to the alcantara nicely, no discoloration or noticeable adverse effects.

    '19 Being Built

    Nice. 04/03 could definitely be possible. Just be prepared for unreliable updates from here on out. FP chat still showed my truck as awaiting shipment when it landed on my dealer's lot. Though I'm 30 miles from Dearborn Assembly, so shipping literally took an hour.

    '19 Being Built

    It's all relative, and with the right variables six weeks isn't outside of reason. I just wouldn't do something silly like book plane tickets to pick your truck up. ;-) Dealers are notoriously inaccurate (and that's pulling a punch). Once you get a VIN you can contact Ford Performance via...

    '19 Being Built

    From what I've seen, they all say convoy. Though I could be wrong. I'm not sure what measurement Ford uses to determine convoy vs rail, but going to KC would almost certainly be rail. Has your truck actually been built? If so, 04/03 isn't an unlikely estimate.

    '19 Being Built

    Congrats on the decision. I just took delivery of my '19 a month ago, and it's incredible. I honestly don't have any desire for a v8. Sure the v6 doesn't sound like a v8, but it also doesn't sound like the v6 in my wife's Explorer. It's got a growl to it. Only word of caution is I wouldn't...

    Picked up 2019 Performace Blue with Recaros

    Congrats on the truck. Your build is a mirror of mine; I have the exact same list of options. And yes, the accent package includes carbon fiber. Also, the Raptor mats are included with the 802a trim. It's not listed anywhere, just part of the deal. And you're right, I haven't seen any...

    Welcome. Great color choice.

    Tailgate not dropping with remote

    Mine did this after I installed the tonneau cover (MX4). I adjusted the cover to reduce the overlap until the tailgate would release without any manual pressure. There is less weather sealing making contact with the tailgate, but I also don't need to pull the tailgate open. So far, water...

    What to do when shit happens

    If it weren't aluminum, that would be a fine approach. But rolling dents out of aluminum is much more tricky than the former steel body. I'd just pay to get it fixed. Going through insurance for something that's likely close to what your deductible is doesn't make sense given the hit you'll...

    Is the panoramic roof just asking for trouble?

    You'll get opinions both ways here. My personal experience is with my 2016 F150 XLT with the panoramic moon roof. Was a 99% pavement vehicle, never off roaded. After about a year, the moon roof started rattling. It wasn't annoying enough for me to get it fixed under warranty, but it was...

    Opinions Needed Painted Fender Flares and Bumper on Possible Purchase

    Agree. Use it as a bargaining chip. Claim you hate it, and you're willing to live with it if the price comes down. Personally, I don't like it. One of the things I enjoy about the Raptor is the contrast. The entire truck being a single color is less appealing. But, that's just me. Money...

    Welcome! I see your wife's reaction is the same as mine when I start talking about Raptors.

    F1 bakflip and bedside decals installed

    Anyone looking for deals on Bak covers, if you just chat with them via their site and mention FRF, they'll get both the MX4 and F1 down to ~$750 if you mention the "Ford Raptor Forums discount".

    2019 Raptor Intel

    The Huskies I installed didn't require drilling. Same as the WTs, in fact. Just install over the existing screws on the fenders and wheel wells. WT and Husky are almost identical, just small cosmetic differences. PPF sounds awesome. I ruled it out because I wanted to do everything on my...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    And there you go with the swearing again. @PBR ME is right, it really does make you look and sound like a simpleton. When the shoe fits, I suppose. But honestly, you should calm down. I'm amazed someone can get so worked up over a situation they put themselves in.

    2019 Raptor Intel

    Yeah, pretty similar to the Huskies. I also did just front, and also can't comment on their usefulness as I'm yet to drive in any inclement weather. I definitely considered the WTs, but liked the form factor of the Huskies just a touch more. I'm just trying to prevent spray all over the side...

    2019 Raptor Intel

    I just installed the Husky mud flaps myself. Couldn't have been much easier, and I like that they're pretty minimal in appearance. Would like to know your thoughts on the WTs. Are you doing full PPF or just partial?

    2019 Raptor Intel

    lol, you're so worked up over a situation you created. You should learn to better control your emotions. I bet your dog will appreciate it.
