    Ride quality changed after new tires but it's not tires

    If you have a full size spare, why not rotate it in, one position at a time and see what happens. This is unrelated, but can make you think it's a tire. I traded in a 2016 GMC Canyon that had what I thought was a tire vibration at 80-85 mph. I swapped positions and balanced the tires. I use to...

    Tailgate - does this look normal?

    On my new truck, the tailgate really groaned, every time you lowered it. It was the right side where you can lift the tailgate out. It was well greased, but still made noise. I sprayed TriFlow into the joint and that solved the issue.

    Gaps in bed

    They're purposely formed and I think they're a good idea. Whenever you wash out your bed, the water stacks up there. With that said, I run a Bakflip cover and may seal mine since there shouldn't be any water issues.

    What do you think will happen with trade ins?

    I had a different experience. I had a 2016 GMC Canyon with Amp running boards and a Flipbak toneau cover. Checking NADA, it said it was worth $25K as a clean trade in. The dealer took $2K off the new Raptor and gave me the $25K for the Canyon. A week later, I drive past the dealer and they have...

    Price increase?!?

    I bought a new 2019 two weeks ago. Before I went shopping, I checked all of the dealers within a 30 mile radius of my house (Los Angeles area) . There were 82 new Raptors for sale, about 40% 2019 and the rest 2020's. My nearest dealer, where I bought had a blue, black, grey and white Raptor on...

    Things You DIscovered About Your Raptor

    Thanks everyone for participating in this. I learned today that pushing the button on the side of the shifter displays the gears on the dash. That video was pretty good. One thing he didn't talk about with the seats....you can set them so they automatically move all the way back when you shut...

    Best Hard Tonneau Cover

    I installed a Bakflip MX4 on my 2016 GMC Canyon. The Bakflip has two corrugated drain tubes at the front of the cover that is suppose to drain any water from the cover, out of the bed. The Canyon had two plastic plugs on the bed front wall. I cut a hole in each so the drain tubes went directly...

    Pics of motorhome and Raptor

    "kpecks".....it's Dutch Star Don. I just bought a Raptor on Wednesday. I have the base plates on order and will be transferring over my AF1 braking system. Spent the last couple of days buying goodies, AMP running boards and Bakflip toneau. I know Captain Gizmo also tows a Raptor. I've been...

    2 hours into owning Powertrain malfunction

    On my test drive last week, I unknowingly pulled the shifter all the way back into Manual. I turned out of the dealership and it revved....it took a second to realize what I did. Having only put about 70 miles on it so far, it's obvious that I will have to pay attention to how far I pull it...

    Things You DIscovered About Your Raptor

    I bought a new 2019 Raptor, Magnetic with the 802a package, Raptor Technology package and a couple of other typical options. I've had both knees replaced in the last six months, so working on it has been slow. I ordered a Bakflip MX4 toneau cover, AMP running boards, under seat storage box and...
