    GEN 2 Baja Designs S2 back up lights install

    Thanks for the pics and tutorial Halo! I tapped into the trailer backup light wire that you pointed out. The lights work perfectly and I have no indication from the truck that it thinks a trailer is hooked up. When I put it into reverse they light up and as soon as I’m out of reverse they are...

    Driving in the snow

    We haven’t had more than 6 inches at any one time so far this year, so I haven’t had a chance to get the truck into the deep stuff. When the snow is coming down I put it into weather mode and haven’t used anything other than 4A and I am happy with it. My normal daily drive goes from packed...

    Easiest way to end Auto-stop

    I can give you the absolute easiest way to disable the auto stop/start... Drive on up north. I’m not sure what minimum temp does it, but I can tell you for a fact that the truck automatically disables it at low temperatures. This is what my truck has been telling me all week:

    Winter driving

    I would be all over an unlimited wash membership, but alas there are none within 70 miles of my house. I just pay every time I go. The problem up here is none of the car washes can operate when the temps drop below zero. The garage doors that are needed to keep the wash from freezing up feeeze...

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    You can save yourself some waiting time by signing up for the forscan forum while you are waiting on the OBDLink to be delivered. That way you will be able to get on the forum and download the extended license as soon as you get the OBDLink. I had to wait a day for my forum membership to get...

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    I can’t speak about the $29.97 one, but I have the $79.95 OBDLink MX. As long as you have a windows based laptop (or a Mac running windows thru boot camp I’ve heard) the OBDLink MX is great. Download Forscan, join the forscan forum (and wait until the forum administer approves your forum...

    who has updated to SYNC3 VERSION 3.0 ?

    I just went to the ford website and logged on. My 18 (Nov 3 build date) has v2.3 and the ford website said that is the latest version. I guess I’m going to stop by my local dealership this week and see if they have gotten their hands on 3.0.

    GEN 2 2018 802a.. a couple of questions:

    I have an 18 with a born on date of 11/3 and it does not have the hotspot capability. My understanding is that the 18 f-150’s got it, but the 18 raptor did not. You can check under the settings tab, scroll to page 2 on the general settings and you will see “WiFi”, from what I see in the owners...

    Gen2 reliability

    I was driving home tonight and I discovered that my lane assist no longer worked! Just over 1,000 miles and my first problem... And all I could think was “sweet Jesus, MGD is right, all the gen 2’s are lemons!” I was so upset I snapped a picture when I discovered the lane assist didn’t work...

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    Change the “0” to a “2”. 10A0-9200-0173 was the original. Or: xxxx-x2xx-xxxx to go back to original (on my 2018 at least).

    Forscan changes - tweak your truck

    So I finally got a chance to sit down and take a crack at forscan. I have to say, a huge thank you goes out to Livnitup for the unbelievable spreadsheet and tutorials. As I tell my mechanic, "it's so easy even a pilot can do it!" I have to say I was quite queasy about the whole 'changing the...

    Tracking your New Order – Step by Step / FAQs

    With your order number, name, and dealer number, ford chat will confirm that they have the order. “Unscheduled clean” is the usual response. When the vehicle gets assigned a build week ford chat will give that to you (you have to keep contacting them until that happens). Your dealer will give...

    Remote Start and Auto Climate Settings

    Just got into my FordPass remote started 18 SCREW, 9 degrees (F) outside, seats and steering wheel were all heated and they all stayed on after I pushed the start button and drove away. My wife likes the heated steering wheel so much that I may not get my Raptor back until next summer!

    ???

    Are they tacking on a $100.00 ADM for realism?

    Window pillars scratched. Help!

    I ordered a set from rappygraphics earlier this week for $60.00. They are supposed to be delivered next Tuesday. As soon as I get them and get enough time to put them on I can let you know what I think of them if you’d like.

    LED License Plate Lights

    Got my smd2 bulbs today, took less than 5 minutes thanks to the tip about checking the bulbs before putting them back into the bumper. I had a fifty fifty chance when I plugged them in and guess what...my luck always runs true... I had to take both bulbs out and change plug direction because...

    Post all your 2017 rap problems here please..

    MGD will go on and on stirring sh$t up about them not being reliable. Look up his posts and member responses, make up your own mind on that. And then, unfortunately, a few members on this forum like to be smart asses and post crap that apparently makes them feel better about themselves, but the...

    New sticky please GEN2 owners pics

    8 months waiting for the order to come in was all worth it today when I picked it up from the dealership! I was a little concerned it wouldn’t fit in the garage next to the company car, but she fits in there just fine!

    Just got hit by a deer...

    I just picked up my truck today and where I live this is my greatest fear while driving around. I have yet to hit one, but have come very close a number of times.

    Need to shorten my antenna.

    I don’t pick up my truck until tomorrow, so I don’t have one to do the measurements on yet. I really like the concept of shortening the mast to a couple of inches above the roofline as a low clearance warning device. When I off-road I plan on removing the mast but parking garages are a fear of...

    GEN 2 Dealership wouldn't allow me to test drive their Raptor

    I found a couple of dealerships that left one open sitting in the showroom and was able to get in them, but I agree totally on the concept of not wanting to buy a “new” car that has 300-400 ‘test-drive’ miles on it. The last thing I want to buy is a performance geared vehicle (and I will use...
