    Real truck bed cover

    Prob should have bought locally and had them install it then. Saving a few bucks isn't always worth the trouble. Not trying to be rude, but being a retail shop owner, I get a little testy with folks who buy items online then don't get the service they expect. It's usually the same people who...

    Real truck bed cover

    Seems to me that legal action is a bit extreme for a mismatched end cap that can easily be replaced. Especially when the seller has already offered to send out another at no cost. Why would you expect them to replace the entire rail when the one you've got isn't defective?

    Yep, you're right. I was remembering my '08 Harley truck.

    F-150 Lightning IS Available Now!

    You're definitely correct on the 5.4. But as I recall, my 2001 Lightning was a 3 valve.

    Raptor deployed as a street machine

    I have to agree with everyone that Raptors ride great, when compared to most other trucks. But, you guys claiming that a Rap "handles like a sports car" are on some pretty good drugs, or have never owned/driven a sports car. I'd describe it like this. It's easy to have fun in my Rap because the...

    Leaking strut, cracked CV boot @ 19K miles

    I thought it was odd that the service writer referred to it as a strut, but I figured, who am I to question the "professional"?

    Leaking strut, cracked CV boot @ 19K miles

    I took my '14 in for an oil change and the tech found that my right front Fox shock is leaking as well as the left CV boot is cracking. Luckily, I'm still under factory warranty. Has this been an issue for many here? Seems pretty early to start worrying about such issues cropping up. Should I...

    Stowable Bed Extender Work as Advertised?

    I didn't think I wanted the bed extender on my G1, but it was already there so I kept it. I use it on an almost weekly basis. I don't recall how it's mounted. No issues/interference with my Extang Revolution tonneau. I can't imagine that it would interfere with any other models either.

    2018 B&O Play System

    If the B&O is anything like the system in my previous A4, it will be excellent, for a factory setup. I doubt it will be though. I've never sat in a Ford product with a decent stereo, especially in the higher frequency range.

    What Did You Name Your Raptor?

    My fam has 2 cats. Either, at any time can usually called "cat". But sometimes, "asshole", "sonofabitch", or "getthefuckoffthecounter". My truck is a possession, I don't name the inanimate objects that I own.

    Premium Unleaded?

    Higher octane fuel is no better for your engine than plain 'ole 87. Premium just detonates at higher compression, thus reduces knock on high compression / turbo engines. Premium also won't get you better mileage or less buildup on engine internals so long as the detergent levels are the same on...

    Actual demand?

    I was curious about trading my '14 and spoke with Bill Colwell Ford in Hudson IA last week (319)988-4153. He said they had 3 allocations and 1 was pre-sold with deposit. He also stated they are selling at MSRP, no additional markup.
