    Other 800A Owners? My 800A+ Build Thread

    Nice! Isn't it odd how $55k feels like a deal when you can get one for that much?!? Extras is the right word too. Because at the end of the day, it's just as much a raptor as one $20k more. Some of these upgrades are going to be really easy. It's kinda nice to do it a la carte after the...

    Whats with dealers only having 802a raptors and not more base models?

    I know, right? I personally don't like the stickers and it would have been hard to stomach peeling off $2k and throwing them away. I couldn't even find an 801A or 802A without them, but I wasn't using raptor finder. I hear you on the overload of projects! But, most of the trailblazing has...

    More power to you then. I'd rather save $10-15k and not have options I don't want, plus not pay a dealer mark-up. To each his own.

    Whats with dealers only having 802a raptors and not more base models?

    Well, there's a lot to the answers for all those questions. I have most of the parts so far and have started a build thread to detail each of these upgrades - http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/other-800a-owners-my-800a-build-thread-58519/ But, I think I can clarify some things easily. For...

    It has lock/unlock functions on the FOB. I'm talking about Ford's Intelligent Access, where you keep your fob in your pocket and sensors on the door along with a wireless transmitter lock and unlock the doors. I like walking up to a car, hopping in, and pushing start to go. My entry level 08...

    Other 800A Owners? My 800A+ Build Thread

    Well, after being on the forum for a while (and being a reader for much longer), it appears there's not a lot of 800A owners out there. So, I thought I'd say hey and share some of my projects in case others were interested in upgrading their 800As to get some of the options on the other...

    Whats with dealers only having 802a raptors and not more base models?

    I'm actually upgrading my 800A for less than those quoted prices. 8" Sync 3 Upgrade (getting parts from car-part.com) - $500 Heated factory seats using factory button - $140 Leather seats from new pull off - $380 802A 8" Instrument Gauge - $650 I could not find a dealer that would sell...

    Blown radiator hose (or something)! Potentail engine damage?!

    Well, I got it back from the dealer today. They said the clamp that held on the radiator hose was not all the way set and came loose. No code was thrown for overheating the engine, so they filled up the radiator, bled air from it, and performed a pressure test to ensure no more leaks. I...

    Blown radiator hose (or something)! Potentail engine damage?!

    Thanks for the help. I didn’t know about the limp mode. My brother in law’s dodge just had the same thing happen to it and it cracked the block, so I’m guessing his doesn’t have the same limp mode (mid-00s) and it has a problematic Mercedes engine. Good suggestions on how the dealer should...

    Blown radiator hose (or something)! Potentail engine damage?!

    I’m writing this while waiting for a tow truck to take my 2018 with 1400 miles to the nearest dealership. After sitting in stop and go traffic for an hour, moving maybe a mile, we took off and after about 3-5 minutes of driving, the engine high temp alert came on and the needle was past red...

    Worth The Wait

    Congrats! I love the Lead Foot color. Did you go with the beadlock capable wheels? Awesome combo IMO

    Finally a vehicle without compromise

    Here's a shot taken this morning. I was able to find one on the lot without the stickers. I prefer the cleaner look and glad I didn't have to pay for the option to then peel them right off. Edit: Updated the picture after reading it wasn't working for others. Please let me know if it's...

    Finally a vehicle without compromise

    After years of driving what I call "compromise cars", I'm excited to be an owner of a 2018 Raptor SuperCrew. A fast car? Can it fit car seats? Can it tow? Can I haul stuff in the back? Is it comfortable to take on long trips? Can I occasionally go off-roading? While I've owned a few...
