    Car Insurance

    $640 for 6 months with USAA. Low deductible with maximum coverage, with rental/towing and 20% over market value coverage. Now that I posted this, I need to call and raise my deductible to bring that cost down. My daughter is 17 and her 2012 Focus is $1700 for 6 months.

    Raptor High Mileage for 2017/Early 18 Models

    100k, no real issues. Bought it at 69k. Trans is being rebuilt now. Wasn't bad at all, but warranty covered it so I will take a free rebuild. I beat the living shit out of my truck too, but I am good with maintenance, and it came with full records. The previous owner was getting 19.6mpg average...

    2019 Transmission assistance

    I am 2 months in. The dealer in San Antonio took my 17 in for rough shifts, waited on parts for 5-6 weeks. They rebuilt it and something failed, so I am back to square 1. I hope it isn't another 2 months. But I got a free rental out of it. 2 months in a 2022 Escape (I hated that thing) now I...

    Sticking with Gen 2?

    Truth.

    Sticking with Gen 2?

    Every time I go back to Commiefornia for anything I am excited to return to Texas. 91 is expensive garbage there, and 93 here is great.

    New Full Race Manifolds

    How long does it take for people to change these out in their garages? I believe both of my manifolds are warped, but I would rather do it myself if its a weekend job.

    Sticking with Gen 2?

    Realistically for me, it is that I am cheap. And the wife said not yet. Haha.

    GEN 2 How many of you needed a new trans?

    I have only had the truck a year, and put around 35k on it. I do drive it how it was intended to be driven. The transmission was serviced just before I bought it, though I doubt the dealer I got if from knows how to tie their shoes let alone service a transmission. The shifting issue I have is...

    GEN 2 How many of you needed a new trans?

    I am at 99K and they are rebuilding my transmission now due to several parts failing. They would have replaced it but I was told the national backorder has no date for future deliveries at all, so its any ones guess when they might be back. Generally speaking, the only real complaint I hear...

    GEN 2 Engine stumble under light boost on freeway - code P0301

    I had this problem about a week after buying my 17 used. Apparently "a rat chewed through a wire harness on the back of the engine" was their official cause. I believe it was an injector harness. Extended warranty refused to pay for it due to it being from animal damage, but the dealership ended...

    Adaptive Cruise Control RetroFit

    This is the one feature I wish I had on my 17... I don't care about auto braking or anything like that, but the ACC was so nice on my Lincoln before the Raptor...

    Fuel For the Raptor

    I definitely do enjoy the truck, and do raptor it. Certainly not a pavement princess or mall crawler. :) I was averaging 16.8 when I first got the truck, then it started shifting a little wonky and now I am down to the 14.6 average essentially driving identically. It is at the stealership now...

    Fuel For the Raptor

    I run 93 top tier. I average 14.6mpg, which sounds pretty low. I do get slightly worse with 87/89. I wonder why my mileage is lower than many others.

    GEN 2 Highest mileage Gen 2, Who has it?

    Yeah, my wife would stab me in the neck in my sleep if I spent that much. I am still under extended warranty, but having a few small issues. I am a "expect the best but plan for the worst" kind of guy for sure. I would love to do the RMB 4.2, but I would likely just have to buy a stock short...

    GEN 2 Highest mileage Gen 2, Who has it?

    Curious if it was under extended warranty at that point, or if you came out of pocket. If you did, what was the cost?

    Stupid Question....should you wax the fender flares on a 2017-2019 Raptor

    According to the grooves and scratches I have in mine from dumb stuff offroad, they are painted plastic.

    Is this what it feels like when the shocks need to be rebuilt? Bouncy/jarring at higher speeds

    Night and day difference when I had mine rebuilt at around 85k (I assume they haven't been rebuilt at all by previous owner as it was a freeway only truck). That and the Deavers made it a totally different truck. Mine were done at Texas Shock Works as well while I took an Uber to get lunch.

    Mounting plate for new Harbor Freight Badlands jack?

    Look, some of us are cheap bastards. I am frugal elsewhere so I can have my toy with minimal complaints from the wife. If a half price jack is 90% as good as the name brand others seek, that is good enough for me. I am not doing extreme things with my truck at the moment though. One day. :grd:

    Door Handle Gaskets??

    My passenger front door is doing the same thing. How hard is it to get the handles off? I will likely just do all 4 seals at the same time.

    PMCS: Panoramic Sunroof

    Mine started rattling about a month after I bought it (used). Cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and applied Krytox as directed here on the forum and explained by 2 different service advisors. Rattle goes away for 1-2 weeks, then returns. Truck is kept outside for now, but will be garaged when I...

    Insurance: What the Fr*ck!

    $450 for 6 months with USAA, and that is full coverage on the 17 Raptor, the wifes 14 Honda Odyssey, and renters insurance. Low deductibles on all, with rental car and the 20% "replacement assistance" that essentially gives you 20% over bluebook if you total your car. I am 41 and the wife is 46...

    Front clunk noise found!

    Can the passenger side one be accessed from the top as well? I might pull the battery over the weekend and see. I have a clunk too and I am leaning towards this being the cause.

    This truck might be hitting the lot soon!

    Awesome. Appreciate it.

    This truck might be hitting the lot soon!

    Been looking for something like this. What is it called and where did you get it? :grd:
