    California emissions

    Interesting. So why not just order all the Raptors with ca emissions? Makes it easier to sell. Im surprised its even an option

    Does anyone know what the physical differences in the emissions system are between a CA Emissions version and a non-California emissions? Thanks!

    GEN 2 2017 Raptor Allocation Lottery Winner!

    So... I'm elated. I just completed my order for a 2017 SCAB. I'm currently stationed oversees and won a 2017 allocation with Military Auto Source (a company that sells cars to oversee service members at reduced prices). After waiting a few months to see forum members and car journalists reviews...

    GEN 2 GEN2 MPG thread...

    Are you crazy? 1000lbs makes a huge difference in the amount the engine has to work! But that's not even an issue. The issue with poor mileage compared to your JAG is that THIS IS A HUGE TRUCK. It has 10x the amount of drag compared to any low profile car!

    5.5' Bed

    Yup it will fit on a 45 degree angle, tailgate closed. When I take two dirt bikes, I take my tailgate off cause rocks flip up and scratch it.

    GEN 2 ok - my dealer pic shows tire not mounted properly - those weights!?

    Drive the truck, if it wobbles have the dealer try to fix it.... if it still wobbles, take it to discount tire and have the road force thing done.... it's amazing

    Who went from Chevy /GMC to Gen 2 Raptor any thoughts or regrets

    i've had both gen 1 and numerous chevy trucks. Chevy's quality control is hands down much better. Ford's engineering is better. So buy new expect to take it to the dealer to have weird quirks fixed... but once you get all the qa stuff taken care off, it's going to be amazing. Also, chevy's don't...

    Here is what a Screw Cab Raptor weighs

    Why Rap Owners don't wave at other Rap Owners?

    when i see another raptor I scream "RAPTOR" and get 5 points... and wave to them. Sometimes i get a wave, sometimes I don't. My family plays a game when we drive together, when you see a jeep you call out jeep for 1 point, see and raptor and call out RAPTOR of 5 points, and a NISSAN GTR for 50...

    Speed limiter 107mph

    Speed ratings factor in many things for the tires. How long they can travel at that speed before they get too hot and pose a risk of blowing out. How much weight they are rated for at that speed. These tires probably can go upwards of 140-150 mph with a empty truck for like 5 minutes before...

    Moon Roof- Yes or No?

    My reasons i'm not ordering a moon roof. 1. less weight 2. no chance of a leak in the middle of the roof (either new or 5 years down the road.) 3. It frees up like 3 inches of headroom. 4. I never would use it Maybe I'm old school, but i think moon roofs are dumb. My gen 1 raptor came...

    GEN 2 Quality Issues

    I've sent an official letter to Ford once about their quality control. Out of the American market ford has some of the best engineered trucks and vehicles, but the QC for all their vehicles is so bad. I had a motor blow up after taking delivery of a 2012 mustang 5.0 and I wrote to them about it...
