    My bad, it was a 2014. Close but no cigar.

    Race Red 2013 Screw

    Just posted a picture of a 2013 Race Red with a little over 86k for sale at Future Ford in Roseville Ca. Small world! Race Red is awesome but it sure shows the scratches. Congrats!

    2014 Race Red Raptor for sale

    Saw this sitting on a lot in Roseville Ca. It is a 2014 with 87,650 miles on it. They are asking $50k for it. That's 21,000 miles and $5k more than my 2014 Roush five months ago. Feeling better about my beast all the time.

    New member, prospective owner

    You are right about the size of the trucks. My Raptor fits into my garage but it isn’t a fit for my garage. I park it out back and my wife’s Camry gets the prime parking spot.

    Look closer John. That is definitely not a hard tail.

    Disappointed...just a bit

    Soon to be sixty-eight and at 5’9” I’m glad my truck has a step. I use it all the time. Rainbow stickers and under carriage lights make you look gay not a tailgate step.

    Nice looking truck. It’s probably past it’s trouble free stage but if you accept that going in you should be okay.

    Overheated the Raptor

    Update: Took truck to local shop I trust and radiator cap was determined to be bad. Opened at 5psi instead of 20psi as designed. They put a Stant cap on it which I am replacing with online oem purchase.

    NorCal Rallycross Episode II: Attack of the Cones

    I live twelve miles from Prairie City OHV park and I never thought of rallycross. I always thought of it as a sucky dusty place to ride dirt bikes.

    Poor quality bed camera

    What’s next? A muffler camera?

    New member here hoping to own a raptor soon

    Glad to hear it. Too few honest contractors left in this world. An honest man who stands behind his work will always be able to make a living and still have friends.

    If you worked for Bonny plumbing here in NorCal you could just rip off a few gray haired widows and buy anything you want.

    Speaking of birds of prey, the Raptor breeding season is over and the High Rock Canyon Road is open. If you find yourself in the Black Rock Desert dodging the Burning Man crowd it’s a cool drive and now you don’t have to worry about your truck getting screwed.

    Beer break and coolant check.

    Overheated the Raptor

    I would have replaced it immediately once I put two and two together but they haven't opened an auto parts store in Middlegate Nevada yet much less a Ford dealership.

    Overheated the Raptor

    I have heard this from several sources and plan to buy only from the Ford dealer.

    Overheated the Raptor

    Have no idea what the maintenance history or usage of the truck prior to my ownership so a clog wouldn't be ruled out.

    Overheated the Raptor

    Fluid level is within cold range markings on the reservoir when it's cold. Stays pretty close to that level even after driving it for a while unless I turn it off.

    Overheated the Raptor

    The overflow tank is full and bubbling out out the the holes in the cap.

    Overheated the Raptor

    Just got back from my desert excursion. Raptor cleared the Sierras fully loaded (approx. 800 lb under max rated weight.) Running at night with the a/c off and never reving over 3k did the trick. Never got over 1/2 way on the dash temp gauge. First off-road run was a short one and coolant boiled...

    The wife and I were talking about their pie on the way through Auburn this morning. They’ll probably be closed our next time by.

    I truly appreciate your advice. Not only is there a shortage of replacement parts but I have a severe shortage of replacement dollars right now.

    Going to take another run at it tonight or more correctly 3:00 am tomorrow. Cooler temp, less traffic and I’ll be easy on the throttle.
