Sure - it went to rs auto remarketing. The guy I worked with is Arshian. If you do reach out to him let him know you got his name from Rob. He's supposed to give me a $200 referral fee :). Website is rsautoremarketing.com - it was a very low hassle process. His number is 714-414-8975. Call or text

I ended up letting it go for $50k to a wholesale dealer. I did have a couple of people interested above that but it seems the dealer world is controlling things. It went from wholesaler to auction where it was bought by a retail dealer. It's now on its way to a dealer in Victorville. Not sure...

Sure - I'll send you my details via dm

I've loved my Raptor since the day I picked it up, but I'm getting the itch to get a Gen 3 or potentially a Raptor R. I've also had a vehicle drop in my lap recently (long story, but a fleet vehicle from my work came into my hands for stupid low money). While I'm working on lining up my next new...

There seem to be a lot more Raptors on the lots these days here in SoCal. Hard to believe those markups will stick. The dealer in Rancho Santa Margarita is asking $13,500 over but they have 11 on the lot with more in transit. It's a small dealership as well. From my experience you need to get...

I've done many long road trips and the Gen2 is great. SoCal to Seattle, Montana, Denver a few times a year. My record in one day was 1000 miles in 15 hours with just a couple of short 20 minute stops - tried to keep it under 85 through Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. What is impressive if not...

Finally got around to putting on the Power Stop rear brakes I bought a few months ago. 72,000 miles and still had 5.5mm of pad left

Looks great!

Sounds worse than my cam phaser problem, which was fixed under warranty.

I had the roll type on my old F250 and opted for a BakFlip on my Raptor. I prefer the backflip for sure. I would think selling the rolling cover will be a PIA. I do see one locally on CL, guy is asking $1500 for a retrax which seems a bit high to me

Scary situation - good luck finding a 2023 that fits. Would be great to hear your comparison of Gen 2 vs. 3

Sorry - the MT DMV told me that California CHP is on the lookout for out of state plates, cracking down on those who try to skirt sales tax and registration. Corrective action is to register the truck properly or have it leave the state. I've done this a number of times over the last 20+ years...

I had the same dilemma when I bought my 2018 a little over 4 years ago. I got Montana plates that were the same color as CA plates and always drove a bit paranoid. After one year I registered the truck in CA without paying sales tax. Felt guilty for about 10 minutes. I convinced myself this was...

When I recently replaced my K02s I specifically asked for the same tires that came with the truck. They told me I got the last set and they were being discontinued (this was at the Ford dealer). What they told me was that the E load rated tires were available but not the C that the Raptor came...

I figured it would be worth sharing a few things that I had addressed this week by my dealer under the extended warranty. My 2018 has 62000 miles on it now and found it odd to have some things pop up now. I've been through cam phaser change and the usual recalls (too many of them in my opinion)...

The impression I got was that the tech doing the work is backed up. I did ask about parts availability and it didn't seem like an issue. I'm not sure what would motivate them to hang on to my truck for the extra 3 days. Maybe compensation from Ford? I don't need a rental. Quality of service...

Dealer confirmed phasers need to be replaced. Will take them a week to complete the job, I assume because of parts or labor. They don't want me driving it in the meantime. From what they tell me they have "a lot of experience" with these and they were familiar with the latest TSB. Hoping they...

Here's another video from today after the truck was off for more than 3 hours. Seems that the rattle is a bit worse after a short "rest". Is this more in line with the sound you would expect? Thanks for your insight!

This seems like text book cam phaser noise. I'm due for an oil change but want to get this sorted at the same time. Is there a TSB and part number(s) I can tell the dealer about so I am certain I'll be getting the revised part (plus new software)? My is a Feb. 2018 build with just over 48K...

I have family in Montana and I can use that address. Montana is very friendly for vehicle registration, but it does require walk in to the DMV. I just had one of my relatives take care of this. Montana is a zero sales tax state but that doesn't help for CA. If the truck is less than one year old...

I bought a Raptor without CA emissions from a dealer in MN. They would not sell me the truck if I initially registered it in CA, so I took it to my Montana address and registered it there. This appears to be a Ford policy. I just registered the truck in CA with no issues. The CA emissions...

I just got a Ford Protect flyer in the mail and after seeing all the cam phaser issues that have popped up I'm considering adding a warranty to my Raptor. I bought Oct. 1, 2018 and passed on the warranty then. After reading a couple of threads I found I can buy from Flood Ford online for $2150...

When I was shopping for my Raptor my wife really wanted the side graphics, but I couldn't stomach the $2K. Ultimately, I couldn't find stock with the options I wanted that didn't have the graphics so I got them. I am happy with the look on my Oxford White Raptor, particularly when I see my truck...

I think clay and wax is pretty easy. If you need to cut your clear coat it gets to be a real pain in the butt if you don't have the tools and experience. I've done it on a black Tacoma that was about 6 years old and it took me three passes. First with "heavy cut" then second pass with mild cut...
