The only reason that I like sunroofs.....I'm tall and it gives me more headroom. Typically, when you buy a high-end vehicle, a sunroof is included in one of the luxury packages. I've opened mine maybe three times in three years, mainly for the benefits of the grandkids riding in the truck. I do...

I added the silicone cover on the key fob and do that to all my vehicles. I had to lower the spare the first month I had the coach. I bought a set of take off wheels and they came with the spare rim too. I keep that flat key for the spare in the drop-down sunglass holder. I also carry the star...

Got it wired up a couple of days ago. Wired the battery charger kit to the ground I created near the battery for other things like my AMP running boards and LED lights on the front. The positive side was wired directly to the battery. Everything is automatic as its all wired through the...

There is no mileage accumulated when towing.

Thanks, on my Dutch Star, I'm running the Air Force One air braking system. I also wired the taillights to the truck using diodes. It uses the coach power to turn on the taillights since they're isolated from the truck. I've towed the truck over 10K miles and never had an issue or even a low...

GordoJay....thanks for that info, I knew there was something about where to attach the wires. The minute you said BMS, it came back to me. Thanks

Thanks, using a trailer is a pain and that's why most four down tow. Once you get to a campground you need a space for the RV truck and trailer. I do take a photo but hard to prove when it was taken. I also manually roll the truck a few inches to make sure it's in neutral.

I tow a 2019 Ford Raptor behind my diesel pusher motorhome. There have been some reports on the RV Forums that a Raptor and other F-150 4x4's have destroyed the transmission while being towed. The trucks are designed for Recreational Towing (in the Manual) and are set to tow by following a...

Most trailers are set up to put 10% of the total boat/trailer weight on the tongue. So if the boat weighs 5K, the tongue weight should be 500 pounds. This is a formula used to make the trailer handle correctly. Sometimes you can cheat a little by moving the boat back on the trailer. I did this...

The first time I changed mine....I thought no way they were able to get a filter in there, since I was holding a new one in my hand. Then I read all that had to be removed. Couldn't they have just made the glove box drop down and slide a new one in. It was like locating the upfitter wiring the...

Upholstery shops use a steamer to finish new interior installs. If they don't come back, maybe stop by an upholstery shop and have them steamed.

Had mine in for a 15K oil change (2019) this week. It took them two hours to change the oil. The service guy is one of their better ones there and keeps me apprised of the service and any delays. They started the recall after the oil change and it took them another hour. He said the computers...

My guess, that air connection is a common way for people to connect to an air hose to blow stuff out, like debris in the truck. They used it prior to delivery and blew a leftover bolt out from under the seats.

Mine started coming apart on the passenger side after two years. It sat on the lot for awhile so that may have been part of the problem (2019 Raptor). I just went on Amazon and ordered these RainX wipers. The connection point has a plastic block, for a quick connect, but is larger than the OEM...

450 HP and 1250 Torque :33:

Thanks for explaining what the IWE does! With that said, I have over 17K posts in an RV forum. When I discuss something, it only takes a few minutes to explain what I'm posting about and why. I get private messages on almost a daily basis and phone calls from people all over the country...

I may take a beating for this, but I'll say it anyways. I'm a 65 year old Raptor owner, I do all my own servicing, mods and work on my vehicles, since I was 16. Unfortunately, as I get older and more things become electronically operated, I'm being pushed out of doing a lot of work on newer...

Galpin Ford (Los Angeles, California) one of the largest dealers in the United States, has a Shelby Raptor in stock. $110K plus tax and license ($121K).

Things are constantly changing, but some of these stories on what people pay sounds ridiculous. I bought my 2019, new, in Southern California. It's a Magnetic Supercrew 802A with the carbon fiber package sunroof and some other options for $70K in March of 2020. This was during the first scary...

If the tire was undamaged, my guess would be that something got between the inner rim and brake caliber, punching a hole in the rim. I would look for a scar on the caliper or A frame. Double check the shock.

Look for a used on one on Craigslist. They're a standard bolt pattern through several year models. I took mine off and replaced them with AMP running boards (I'm not a serious off roader). I sold mine (brand new) for $175.00 on Craigslist.

I get them too, on my 2019. They wouldn't be so annoying if they timed out automatically.

Even though I replaced the tow hooks, they're just cosmetic. There isn't enough metal/weld on them to tow. With that said, the two bars that slide in there for towing use a 3/4" pin to connect the tow bar and can work as tow hooks without a problem. I use only Roadmaster products and have the...

Here's how it's attached. The base plates are made by Roadmaster and are about $400.00. My next project will be to build a push bar that fits in those base plate holes, so it's removable when I tow the truck.
