    Can I just say how much I appreciate my Raptor?

    Got her back this morning! Cam phasers noise is gone, got a fresh oil change, axle seal was repaired, and got a new key. 200$ ain't too bad considering I had a rental for 5 days as well. Dealer even paid the first day rental charge for me. This has been one of the best dealer experiences I've...

    Can I just say how much I appreciate my Raptor?

    Unfortunately a single dealer family owns more than half of the dealerships in colorado springs, and both of the ford dealers here. This is the same dealer that told me my previous F150 was struck by lightning... we hadn't had a thunderstorm all year.

    Can I just say how much I appreciate my Raptor?

    Yeah.. I called to set up the rental ahead of time, and the front desk girl made it very clear that I wouldn't be getting a raptor as my rental, which was expected. She clearly has had a few pissed off customers looking for a equal replacement while they're getting service. What transmission...

    I purchased my ESP from Zeigler as well, can't beat them or Flood Ford. Congrats on joining the club, you won't regret it!

    Can I just say how much I appreciate my Raptor?

    My wife has a 2017 Explorer Sport, and it's FAR funner than this Nissan lol, that's for sure. I opted for a deductible on my ESP though, I'd prefer to keep my truck as far from the stealership as I possibly can, unless absolutely necessary.

    Can I just say how much I appreciate my Raptor?

    Dropped my truck off yesterday for the cam phasers recall, an axle seal leak, possibly a TCM tsb, and to get a new key programmed. Got a new Nissan Pathfinder as a rental free of charge to me for 10 days with my ESP. It's not dirty or broken, it's just lame as hell. It has enough room that I...

    CORONA RAPTOR RAFFLE

    Man, terrible news. @CoronaRaptor was truly a good guy. First guy to comment on my introduction post, and often the first guy to comment on any posts looking for answers or help with issues of any kind. You'll be missed, RIP. Forum won't be quite the same without ya.

    Erratic operation and engine shutoff today

    Take the truck to the stealership and have it diagnosed. The fan being on after the engine being shut off is probably normal unless it ran for 30 minutes or more.

    Front axle seal leak?

    Did they already agree to replacing the rear shocks under the warranty? It's not usually something that any warranty covers because it's a 'normal wear and tear' part. The 100$ deductible is totally normal.. Ford ESP come with 50-250$ deductible. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Front axle seal leak?

    My passenger side front axle is leaking as well. Found it when I was getting an inspection done for an ESP. It's a very cheap part, but they want 500-600$ to replace it with labor. The rear shock needs replaced. Depending on your mileage it may be right about time or over due.

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    If I were you, and you weren't worried about ruining your reputation with that dealer, I'd take the Gen 3, flip it, and buy another Gen 2 and pocket the difference. I agree that the styling of the Gen 3 is pretty poor compared to 1/2. The Tailgate app looks like it belongs on a Nissan Titan not...

    Higher mileage Raptors, it's time to start checking front hubs/bearings.

    On these trucks the hub assembly interfaces with the Integrated Wheel End (IWE). It is critical that the IWE is compressed with vacuum during hub installation to avoid damage to either component. Once the axle shaft is inserted into the wheel bearing, the threaded end needs to be measured for...

    Sell or trade my Gen 2? Manheim anyone?

    The fact that nothing like the Raptor exists is one of the largest reasons it'll hold its value regardless of mileage.. I can't speak for every market, but I can tell you that in the southwest Gen 1 and Gen 2 Raptors still pull a pretty penny on the used market even with 'high' miles.

    Sell or trade my Gen 2? Manheim anyone?

    I know Porsche is a cut above the rest when it comes to germans, but JD Power awards can be bought, and don't mean squat. I fully agree that the Raptor is the 911 of the truck world though.

    Sell or trade my Gen 2? Manheim anyone?

    Someone compared a raptor to a Porsche. Implying that a raptor will be as unreliable as a German vehicle outside of the warranty period. We all know the saying.. lease German, don’t buy. Reliability is the only reason anyone cares about a warranty anyways so it’s literally what the comment I...

    Sell or trade my Gen 2? Manheim anyone?

    This is simply not true. Gen 1s are listed for 35-40k$ right now with 100-150k miles, and msrp on a 2014 was 49,000$... https://cosprings.craigslist.org/ctd/d/denver-2013-ford-f150-supercrew-cab/7503667842.html 36k for a black 2013 screw with 130K odd miles. We're talking about a Ford pickup...

    And she’s mine!

    Born and raised in New Mexico and spent almost 10 years in Albuquerque. Good luck.. Everybody has a chip on their shoulder and there's more bad than good out there. Enjoy the food though, nothing like it. Also, gorgeous raptor, enjoy that too.

    Dealers and Warranty work

    Phil Long is a bunch of thieves, but I had to get some work done on my previous F150 at the motor city location and I eventually got satisfactory service for a satisfactory price. I have my cam phasers scheduled to get done at the Chapel hills location in July as well.

    Nasty noise on every startup.

    Got her scheduled for the cam phaser recall. Thanks for the input everyone.

    Nasty noise on every startup.

    Pretty nasty noise on startup. Sounds like a bad rattle somewhere on the driver side, worse when cold. There's a metallic ting that can be heard in one of the two sound clips as well. That existed before the rattle. It can be heard in the cab and it sounds like its right behind the steering...
