    2019 vs 2020

    I think just colors. And possibly improved cam phasers but not sure if those were already being installed on late build 2019s. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Extend Warranty or Warranty In General.

    I bought one through Ford to 100K I think. Pro rated refund if I sell the truck before then. With the cam phaser issue I figured it's good piece of mind. Usually I am not a warranty guy but in this case I decided to go for it.

    FS: Pedal Commander Module Fits Raptor 2010-2020

    SOLD SOLD SOLD - Pedal Commander Module. Works great, no damage. I purchased this new from Amazon 8/3/19. Used on my 2019 Raptor for about 3 months and removed due to going with a tune. Plug and play install, takes less than 10 minutes to install. No cutting, splicing, or any modification...

    GEN 2 Issues fixed in 2020?

    Can't you just buy the metal oil pan from Ford and swap it out? Messy project but doable?

    GEN 2 Issues fixed in 2020?

    2020 is supposed to have updated cam phasers. Ford is supposedly releasing a TSB about cam phasers in Q4 2019. Not sure if late build 2019's got the updated parts or not. My info comes from other posts here on the forum about this. Plastic oil pans were gone in 2018.

    Uniden R7 or should I drive the speed limit

    I went from a Valentine 1 to a Uniden R3 and a Uniden R7 (2 vehicles). The Uniden is WAY better than the Valentine. The R7 had some initial bugs but taken care of with the last firmware update. Go for it!!!

    GEN 2 Towing 6-7000 LBS

    Here is my install: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/gen-2-rear-is-too-lightly-sprung-needs-airbags.53216/page-10 The part numbers are detailed a page or 2 before my pictures by the OP. It's a custom build there is not a bold on kit that will fit on the 2019 Raptor. There are a couple...

    GEN 2 Towing 6-7000 LBS

    Cool. Definitely would not fit on 2019-. The clearance is way tighter than those photos and the frame much thicker and closer to the bed. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    GEN 2 Towing 6-7000 LBS

    Is that on a 2017-18 or a 2019? The available space in the rear leaf spring area is significantly less on 2019- and the frame is much thicker vs the regular F-150 which could pose an issue there. I did a lot of research before building my own airbag kit on my 2019 and never came across this...

    GEN 2 Towing 6-7000 LBS

    It's a custom setup. You have to custom fabricate the brackets. All the details are in this thread: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/gen-2-rear-is-too-lightly-sprung-needs-airbags.53216/ I run it at 5psi when not towing and you can't even tell they are there. The bags have internal...

    GEN 2 Towing 6-7000 LBS

    The Raptor is more than capable drivetrain-wise to tow that. The suspension is the weak point for towing. WDH will help a lot. I have airbags on my Raptor for towing.

    Air Bag Suspension

    I have custom Airbags on my 2019. Here is the thread: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/gen-2-rear-is-too-lightly-sprung-needs-airbags.53216/page-10 There is no bolt on solution for the Gen 2 Raptor. You have to fabricate your own brackets. It's easier on the 17-18's because there is...

    Am I missing out on anything by doing my own oil changes and maintenance?

    ^^I like it and it looks like it would be easy to store when not in use.

    automatic braking

    ^^ Wow that's brave. I wish the Raptor had an auto-hold feature that holds the brake on at stop lights for you. My last 2 cars had that feature, I sure miss it. All the hardware is there via the ACC, parking brake, and collision avoidance stuff on the Raptor to make that work, Ford just needs...

    Am I missing out on anything by doing my own oil changes and maintenance?

    Tire rotation on these huge tires might make the trip to the dealer worth it for every other oil change (10K) LOL.

    MPT Tune - PR-X vs Performance Tow? Help me decide.

    I have decided on an MPT tune for my Raptor but need help choosing which one. I tow a 5000 lb race car trailer with my Raptor about 10-12 times per year. MPT says absolutely NO towing with the PR-X tune due to the way it programs the transmission. For towing they recommend their Performance...

    Am I missing out on anything by doing my own oil changes and maintenance?

    I agree. Yes always got a loaner car at those dealers, made service really easy. Not so much at a Ford dealer...waiting or getting a ride to/from.

    Am I missing out on anything by doing my own oil changes and maintenance?

    I bought my Raptor after having owned a couple of "high end" cars where service was included in the purchase for 4+ years. With the Raptor I am back to doing my own oil changes because I enjoy it and it's more convenient. On these prior cars whenever the vehicle would go in for an oil change...

    To Decal or to Not Decal

    I removed the bed graphics from my Raptor as soon as I brought it home. I kept the hood stripes, those I like.

    Gen 2 rear is TOO lightly sprung! needs airbags

    I run 5psi when driving/not towing. You really can't feel the bags at all with that. Towing I am using 40-60psi with about 450 lbs tongue weight. 40 lbs will get rid of the sag, 50 is better, 60 is even better but up at 60 it gets a little stiff in the rear over expansion joints, etc on the...

    lane assist

    Mine yanks the wheel so hard in Normal mode it's almost obnoxious sometimes. There is also a delay in it being disabled when you turn on the turn signal so sometimes when running adaptive cruise on the highway it resists you changing lanes. I have learned to turn on my turn signal a bit...

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    I think you are misreading the Forscan spreadsheet. What is says is that for all F-150's you need to make the change to the ACM to disable it but if you have a 2018 Lariat+ model then you need to also change the DSP. On my 2019 Raptor the ACM was at "2" and I changed it to "0" as noted above...

    GEN 2 Auto high beams causing road rage

    The Raptor is the 3rd car I have owned with auto high beams. The other 2 were different makes and worked much better than the ones on the Raptor.

    Fake engine sound: Navigator vs Limited vs Raptor

    When I disabled mine I noticed the biggest difference at low RPMs and low on/off throttle. At higher RPMs and WOT I can hear no difference. To me this suggests the system spends most of it's time trying to make the exhaust noise in light driving.
