Did somebody say Jan Juan? You know, seeing as it is still a truck and all, it can still do other truck things besides 'driving off-road' (or baja'ing for you Gen 2 homies since Gen 1 lacks that operational mode). Examples include: Going to Starbucks in the AM (or PM if you're living...

A premium (ADM) above par (MSRP) is only as good as the market for it. The dealers are paying below par (discount) for the investment (ie. the Raptor) and then adding in extra juice by way of the ADM for their own gain. As the investor (that'd be us deplorables) the underlying rub is...

Thrust washer damaged the planetary gear (if the tech's notes are truthful/accurate) after disassembling the transfer case and inspecting. Maybe I I've just been forgetting to get out and lock the hubs! :rofl:

A.I.I.Raciing Where is our sound porn? :lol:

It's easy to arm chair coach finance, but I'm glad it worked out and you got the truck. Enjoy it in good health. :cheers:

My experience: you get what you pay for with a budget carrier. I'm sure there are some forum members here that have had a positive experience that can chime in. Others will recommend you drive yourself, which is what I'd also recommend. If you absolutely can't drive, I'd pay up for a white...

Looks like the long and short of it is the transfer case grenaded (per the attached tech comments). Rebuilt the transfer case, though was covered under the CPO warranty. Total time to fix was 8 days, the length of time being attributed to receipt of parts. Hope this helps future folks...

:rofl: This is the way it should be. Always. If I was in a turd of a vehicle, I'd absolutely roll my negative equity into a Raptor due to the relative lack of accelerated depreciation on these particular vehicles. A Tundra is a nice truck and I don't think I'd bring a pile of cash to...

Growing up in Dallas and now living in Arizona, I can tell you that there's not going to be any similar - it's all plains around DFW. You'll need to head south and west of Austin to Texas' hill country for anything remotely resembling the south west.

After checking KBB.com, I have confirmed that there's no "Take it up the ass ADM" option to tick off. How does one factor this in to the re-sale value? Oh - you don't.

Almost made it a month.

This. Looks like a pair of Ugg boots would be fitting.

I'd rock a TRX for 36 months or 36k miles. There's literally no other truck like the Raptor on the market. The Power Wagon is the only other comparable, and even then that's an apple and watermelon comparison. As others have noted already, competition breeds improvements. Ford has...

Not normally a fan of the "monster" theme and I hope you don't have a flat bill to match, but this is a good looking truck. Like others said, the spares would benefit from a matching scheme. Enjoy in good health. :cheers:

I can't wait to hear this. :cheers:

Had to reach far into the bottom of the meme war chest and knock the dust off for that one. :cheers:

Mage n' tic Something you do. But only on the weekends.

Have rebuilding the shocks on my 'do-to' list and am thinking about running this exact same setup/rebuild. How is the ride on the road? Had a chance for feedback off road yet?

You might be on to something. 'What did you (marginally) afford to do to your decaying Raptor with its macho-man V8 today?'

They're good enough to let us pee over in their Gen 2 pool, least we can do is let them over into our impoverished pool.

26 pages of feedback for Blackwidow mufflers, lots of great info: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f160/installed-black-widow-muffler-38506/index26.html Discussion on Race Venom setups are on the last few pages of the thread. I kept the stock resonator and stock exit. Truck sounds...

Gotcha - that makes sense. Made my fair share of foolish trail mistakes, hopefully this wasn't one of those of the beer holding variety.

Can we get one of these for those that wish to get to 0-60 as quickly as possible:

What's with the butthurt over it being posted here? Fellow forum member behind the wheel?
