Exactly. I would disregard the fact that it broke down. First model year vehicles tend to have more problems, including the Raptor. Shit happens. It's not a good look to have it on video (or to have it happen at all), but it would be disingenuous to say these things are limited to the TRX...

I think what you're seeing is a result of the limited Raptor inventory. It's widely known that inventory is limited so anyone with one for sale is trying to A) get top dollar (because they probably paid a bunch for it on trade/recent purchase) and B) probably isn't going to perfectly analyze the...

I am not in position to buy a Raptor in cash, but this exact scenario is why I'd never consider it even if I could. Interest rates are so low right now that I'd rather have access to the cash for a rainy day. It's easier to eventually make a single payoff payment, should you ever choose to, than...

Besides it just not being a Raptor, one of the main things I dislike about my 2020 XLT loaner is that is uses a physical key. Not having to remove the key from my pocket to unlock the door, then look over to the side to see the keyhole (to prevent inadvertent scratches to the trim) is annoying...

I agree, you'd think there is an order of operations here and one could eventually rule out one issue after another. I'm holding out hope that that still happens. Yes, it has the reverse trailer steering knob (it's an 802A) although I've never used it (bought used at 18K miles, 9K miles ago)...

Welp, still dealing with this issue. Monday will mark 5 weeks at the dealership. To recap, they initially said it was something to do with the IWE system (they did not specify and I didn't ask, my service adviser isn't the best at being specific about what's going on). After fixing whatever they...

I recently had my sway bar end links replaced under warranty. They had failed, which was causing a sort of clang/bang sound from the front end when going over small bumps. Not sure that's your issue, it doesn't really sound like mine did but it's a little hard to tell from the video.

My truck has been with the dealer for 4 weeks for a front differential issue. They said they would try to get me a loaner as soon as one was available, which took about a week and I'm still in possession of it. I thought nothing of it, figuring this was standard practice for warranty work that...

I'm the OP. This afternoon will mark two weeks at the dealership. They confirmed there is a problem but there is no update beyond that - they need to tear down the front diff to determine the issue/fix. Whatever they did with the IWE system did not fix the issue. I haven't heard from anyone in a...

Ugh. Dealership called and said they think it's something to do with the front diff, which requires a 10 hour teardown to see what the issue is.

Got another call from the dealership saying they fixed whatever they thought it was and got it put back together, but now the same problem is happening but in the other direction. They're going to continue troubleshooting. I advised them of the new tires, which would especially make sense now...

Yes, tire pressures were equal. I got a call from the dealership late yesterday saying it was something to do with the IWE system, asking to keep it overnight, and it should be ready to go today. I was in the grocery store so I forgot to ask what, specifically, was the issue/being replaced but...

Gotcha. That seems like the most likely culprit all things considered. Hopefully we'll know soon.

No, I haven't. What/how would a defective tire only show as an issue when the front is powered? It drives just fine, smooth and straight, outside of putting it in 4A. Also, I took a brief look at the axle seals and didn't see anything that clearly indicated an issue, but it's also a little...

Tried this again on what I perceived to be a completely flat road, in both lanes and in the middle, with and without traction control on, and in normal, sport, and weather modes. While in 4A and tracking straight the wheel forcible turns itself to the left consistent with the amount of power...

I’ll try it on a road with no clear crown, but this happened the other day every single time whether or not TC was on. It was a hard and immediate pull to the left every time that would result in a lane change if the wheel isn’t actively corrected to the right. It was so apparent, which is why I...

Got it, thanks all.

I had considered that but just don't ever remember it doing this.

I've done nothing else. What would I be looking at/for?

I have a stock 802A Screw with the Torsen diff. Today I noticed that the truck consistently pulls hard to the left under medium to hard throttle while in 4A. This was happening on flat, slightly wet roads while going straight and with and without traction control on. When getting on the gas...

Gorgeous pictures. We ended up cancelling our post-Christmas trip to Moab due to the forecasted snow, which looks like a good decision in hindsight. How is the melting going on trails and roads? Now considering a MLK or President's Day weekend trip.

To further follow up, the issue is gone after getting the sway bar end links replaced under warranty.

Some questions, not all Raptor specific: Trails - We'll do 4 nights, which gives us 3 full days. My general plan is to do one day for each of these: hurrah pass/chicken corners, gemini bridges/ long canyon on the way back, willow springs into Arches. Anyone have any alternative recommendations...

Just following up on this - Dropped it off for the scheduled appointment today and just got a call that the sway bar end links need to be replaced and it will be done under warranty.

Not to completely derail this thread, but I am considering a similar plan for just after Christmas. My primary concern is weather. The average temps look similar to where I'm at in Colorado (avg highs in the 40s, which is fairly nice if it's sunny, 20s in the evenings) and Moab averages only 9...
