    Abrupt fuel mileage drop

    My commute is 4.5 miles with 2 stop signs and 3 traffic lights and no speed limit over 35mph. I average 14mpg. It just takes a lot of restraint.

    Anyone heard any V8 ecoboost rumors

    Who is actually forcing you to click on said threads that you supposedly get tired of?

    GEN 2 Engine auto on/off annoyance

    I wouldn't want it to, but that's just me. Let's say I have something light, like a bass boat or some jet skis. I don't need frickin' tow/haul mode.

    2013-2014 Raptors Sync 2 -> Sync 3 Upgrade

    Personally, $500-700 is what I would be willing to pay for this upgrade. I really want it, but I'm the opposite of your first paragraph. My truck is more or less stock lol.

    Report: 2019 F-150 Raptor To Receive Ford’s New 7.0L DOHC V8 Motor

    EPA regs don't matter on low volume cars. Look at the Hellcat/Demon.

    Sync bluetooth connection problems solved : advice for those with troubles...

    Correct. Same here. So I've gotten in the habit of answering it from the phone, immediately flipping it to handset and then right back to bluetooth. Usually by the time it's coming over the speakers I'm hearing, "llo....Hello....can you hear me?" haha

    Sync bluetooth connection problems solved : advice for those with troubles...

    Same. Mine does this in spurts (couple weeks at a time). If it does it, just go to your phone, direct the sound to the handset, then back to bluetooth and it will work. Super inconvenient, but it's a work-around when it's being a goof ball.

    That's why it's called a rumor and not thrice-verified concrete report.

    GEN 2 Engine auto on/off annoyance

    There were 4 of us in the truck, and we all spent an entire weekend in it. Not a single person commented on it negatively. The only comments that were made, "It is eerily quiet in here."

    GEN 2 Engine auto on/off annoyance

    Man, I just don't get the hate over it. I've spent a lot of time driving my dad's '17 FX4 with the 3.5/10spd and I absolutely love the start-stop on it. You can't even tell it's happening other than the truck gets super quiet which I think is pleasant. Not to mention all the gas it is saving...

    IG roll call

    It's so funny to me, it happens daily. I get on here, and recognize a truck in a picture or signature and think, "hey, I know that truck! I see it all the time on IG!" @injaneer

    Rigid Radience Light Output

    Why not just tie all your lights in with your high beams? You kind of made my point for me. Who cares if your high beams don't add anything to the LEDs, the point is you shouldn't be using any LED cubes/bars in a place you wouldn't use your high beams. As to your "fogs:" You realize they're...

    Lightbar thoughts

    This is false. My cheap Chinese bars use Crees. I would gladly bet you any of the high end brands (Rigid, Baja Designs, VisionX) would crush my lights as far output, longevity/toughness/durability, and reach. Any amount you want to bet, I'll take that bet. It's easy to make an LED. The real...

    I only have a year so far, but that's correct. And it hasn't had any covers on it.

    Looking to straight trade Gen2 for newer Gen1

    I can't judge a gen2 because I haven't even ridden in one, let alone driven. However, my dad has a 2017 FX4, and I can tell you, BOTH of us HATE that the grille doesn't go up with the hood. It makes it soooo much easier to get in the bay and work on, etc.

    Lightbar thoughts

    The bar on my truck, about a year, maybe more. Had it on my previous truck. The cubes, few months. However, they have amber Rigid covers on them. The finish is holding up much better than I expected. I expected the lens to start yellowing at this point on the bar, but nothing yet. That part has...

    Lightbar thoughts

    So, I have a good deal of experience with RC light bars. I have a 20" and 4 cubes on my truck. We put one of their black edition 20" on my pop's truck. They're bright. Especially for the money. But like all Chinese bars...that brightness doesn't go anywhere. I don't get anymore distance over...
