    Ford horrible quality

    If you really feel that way then you obviously don't read much. Do some research on the recycled metal used in Chevy and other manufacturers and you'll see it's hardly a problem unique to Ford vehicles. Here....this will get you started...

    TRX engine is already on its way out?

    I don't entirely disagree but was surprised at your apparent lack of experience/knowledge about towing with a turbo. A lot of Diesels use turbos. On the Raptor there is this little gem and I just returned from a 2k mile trip towing a trailer over the rocky mountain range. No drama whatsoever...

    GEN 2 Help with Spring and Leaf Selection

    I agree someone has the answer but there is no way to discern for sure. as many opinions as there are options and ultimately the advice on here for suspension is good for brand but not for configuration. Only a suspension expert can help set it up correctly and if you notice...everyone talks...

    GEN 2 Help with Spring and Leaf Selection

    Don't listen to anyone on here about suspension. You should call Deaver or Icon directly and describe your needs. I also carry 200+ pounds of gear all the time and also tow an overland trailer with a 3500lb max so about 500lb tongue weight. I went with a custom Deaver pack that consists of a re...

    Trying so hard to like the Gen 3 but.....

    If your criteria is simply external looks then I suppose you can make a case although I do not personally agree. Strange to ignore the amazing upgrades to...well...every single other component of the truck...you know...the stuff that makes a Raptor a Raptor. Scoops, vents, rear applique'...ok I...

    Raptor R - Will you be buying this beast.

    My 19 is already more capable than I am so no need to upgrade. I could afford it but It'd feel like throwing money away. If I was in the market then you bet I'd buy it. Killing TRX on every single metric except HP and offering factory 37s is impressive. The R version should be insane!! Ford put...

    2021 Raptor Is a Total BUST!!

    Not even a little bit. The release video was garbage but the reviews since then discussing all the upgrades has been amazing. They have totally upgraded the capabilities and beat TRX at EVERYTHING except HP/TQ which will be rectified with the R. They are doing it right. I'd have loved to see the...

    Leaf spring advice ?

    My best advice to you is to not listen to anyone on this forum when it comes to suspension advice. The opinions are usually uninformed and emotional. It's hard to find real advice in between the idiots spewing ignorant opinions. Suspension is one of those things where there isn't one single...

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    Totally agree. It's the getting unstuck part that's not something you can do manually

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    You need to research the mechanics of trail control better. Alternating traction between all 4 wheels individually is unique to trail control and is NOT something you can do manually with left foot braking.

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    If you think you can out drive trail control then you don't understand it. I'm not saying it's always better but under certain circumstances trail control altering traction using individual wheel braking is NOT something you can do manually.

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    The options I mentioned are all available on the 2019 not just the 2020

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    The main changes are three fold 1) Suspension completely changed ti Live Valve that includes sensors around the truck tochange the suspension dynamics under various driving conditions. It's not just jumping the truck. Not sure how much difference without directly comparing old vs new under all...

    Raptor on Tracks

    Putting tracks on a Raptor? This guy reminds me of the dude that totaled his new TRX trying to jump it like he did the Raptor.

    RAPTOR FLIGHT TIME VS DODGE TRX

    What I got from his video was you can jump the Raptor...outside of it's intended envelope... and come out basically unscathed. You can jump your TRX outside the intended envelope and it's totaled. I'd love to see Fiat run their TRX through the Baja 1000 then drive it home as Ford did with the...

    RPG traction bars

    Krazy House Customs makes a killer torque arm that doesn't interfere with clearance, provides benefits on the street as well as off road. It's an amazingly solid product. I've run it for about a year and wouldn't consider anything else at this point. btw...get the diff guard option as well.

    Waterless cleaning?

    I second the Optimum no rinse. I've used it for many years with great success and I'm extremely retentive about my paint. No scratches. It's designed to prevent scratching. one bucket or three is up to you and makes little difference in my opinion just depends on your particular level of...

    My wife had her brand new CX5 ran into...only damage was to the rear wheel...not even any body damage. I used these guys to get a diminished value successfully processed for about 1800.00. https://www.pdxinjurylawyers.com/auto-accidents-cars-trucks/diminished-value/

    Road trip ahead: What do I bring?

    Take your jack out from behind the seat and put it in the bed of your truck so you don't have to worry about the kid seats. Not sure of your oil consumption but maybe bring an extra quart?

    GEN 2 KO2 wet roads?

    Tire opinions are like oil opinions. Mostly uninformed and mostly subjective. Powerful truck+light rear end=slippery when wet regarless of tire. Pressure can impact your result. Nothing more to be said really.
