    Dogs and noise canceling

    I get the same response with my 100 lb pit. He rides with me with no issues so I dont think its bothering him. Seats up and blanket down and he has a ton of space back there.

    Ford Recall Field Service Alert 18N03 | Door Latch Freezing Concerns

    This happened to me on thanksgiving morning, picking up my father in law (who is a die hard toyota guy) in my shiny new raptor with 1500 miles, he goes to close the door and it wont latch. He had to hold the door closed until we got to thanksgiving dinner - to which i didnt hear the end of it...

    2019 Raptor as a Daily Driver

    @Blown00gt said it best - while most other trucks are just transportation, these are genuinely fun to drive. You will look for reasons to drive it and it will put a smile on your face. I dont know how well the expeditions ride, i am sure its nice - but these ride really well and you wont have to...

    Customer relations

    I came from GMC and any time my vehicle needed warranty service, they had a loaner waiting for me and it was always a brand new vehicle. I haven't had the raptor long enough to need anything yet but if I am not provided something to drive while in for warranty work then I would take to a dealer...

    GEN 2 B&O Sound System = No Engine Sound Augmentation?

    i dont notice it - interested to see if someone can confirm that because i keep reading about and listening for it. i think the noise cancelling works very well, the bluetooth calls are very clear.

    GEN 2 [LISTEN] Presenting the AWE FG Exhaust Suite. Available now.

    i like the sound.... Is there power to gain or lose with a system like this on an otherwise factory stock truck?

    Raptor towing 4 place sled trailer

    Well it is already snowing in New England so I wanted to test drive the trailer. The sag wasn't as bad as I was expecting with my 4 place hooked up - trailer is 22ft box with 5 foot V so 27 LOA - 7ft wide. Weighs about 2200lbs empty and each sled is approx 500lbs. It certainly went down a bit...

    GEN 2 Any one use Winter Tires?

    I run the duratracs on the wife's 4runner and they do well. Where in Maine are you? I snowmobile up there quite a bit

    Got Rear-Ended, Need Advice

    Silverbolt is right. There are three sections to the frame, it is made to be replaced easily. It only calls for 12 hours to replace the rear section of the frame, it lists for $6818 from Ford. Most likely the truck will not total even if you pushed for it.

    Got Rear-Ended, Need Advice

    I would tend to agree with this assessment as I wouldnt want the truck anymore either with a bent frame - although that wasn't what the OP asked :). It sounds like he wants to fix the truck. The fact the he is still driving this around is what probably makes his insurance company think it is...

    Got Rear-Ended, Need Advice

    PS - this is also no knock on your bodyshop. It is very costly to get certified by Ford for Aluminum work, very few have done so at this point. The investment is 6 figures.

    Got Rear-Ended, Need Advice

    My guess is that since your body shop is not certified by ford for aluminum work (assuming this since he doesnt have their tools,) they wont even talk to him about the parts. I just checked some part numbers in quite a few different parts interchange catalogs. - 100% the same bed part numbers...

    GEN 2 towed in today FFS!!!!

    The 6.2L's have been pretty well received too - we are low request on them as well. Since the superduty's run them I think they are worked a little harder so they do move a little quicker. The miles are always much higher when I get one in, they seem to always land in a fleet truck somewhere.

    GEN 2 towed in today FFS!!!!

    FWIW - I work in auto salvage - we sell to the tune of close to $1m a day so I always know what stuff is problematic based on demand. I can assure you that every brand has its issues. We are very low demand on eco-boost engines. Same for the newer 5.0L..... 5.4L's are a much, much different...

    After 1 year of ownership, likely no better vehicle.

    Mine just clicked 1k miles - I was a GM guy for a very long time (still have LS powered cars). Last 3 trucks 04 Silverado SS, 09 Denali 6.2, 15 Denali 2500HD. I cant see myself ever wanting to own a different truck than another Raptor. I haven't had this much fun driving in a while. If it holds...

    DIY stereo upgrade for under $500.00

    unfortunately, now i have to tear my truck apart this weekend after reading this thread!!! Of all things with these trucks being so good, the b&o stereo is just unimpressive. I came from a 16 Denali with Bose and it would blow this system away. though it looks like a simple enough upgrade. Are...

    Offroad Alliance Fog Light Kits

    I got my kit my yesterday and installed last night. I went with the KC C3s with the KC Flex in the corner in amber. The Flex is on AUX 1 and the Cubes are on AUX 2. It looks awesome, I am super happy with it and the install is very easy. I was impressed, especially to be able to use the factory...

    Best DEal in the North East?

    I am in MA - I took delivery on mine Wednesday. Was able to get under MSRP but not much. I must have called 10 dealers anyway and not many were willing to go under MSRP. Any that were had a deposit already. Some people still asking $5k-$10k over still which I dont get. I think it was Denooyer...
