I just got mine replaced in my Gen 1. Paid someone to do it. Total cost was 1,200 bucks. Thet put a rebuilt one in. I have never had any luck with interior stuff. I always break plastic things so I opted to leave it to the pros. Mine isn't as complicated as a panoramic sun roof that they put in...
Yep and I know. Even my Gen1 lays a CRAZY patch of tire, but trying to stop a 3 ton truck and then all of a sudden a turn in the road comes up on ya quickly.....well let's just say ya better of planned a head. I see a ton of inexperienced drivers in there muscle cars crashing Hard. Just haven't...
How often does ANYBODY actually Use all the HP in there Raptors. To me anything over or around 500 HP to the wheels on a Unprepped road is asking for trip to the Hospital. Its Sketchy enough in my Sister's Stingray and thats around 485 in a car thats designed to Handle. A Truck????? Good luck
WD40 is Awsome with a soft cloth to wipe off. I use it all the to time to remove tar. Safe on the clear coat. Let it soak in a few seconds. I learned this trick from people with Expensive Show cars and my sister with her New Stingray
Damn that's alot of money yinz are talking. Im a knuckle dragging airplane mechanic. 1 Raptor thats paid off and just maintain it and 1 daily driver car. Thats it for me
Yes that would be. And would Love to go for a ride. I don't have the coin to get that crazy. Motocross is my Adrenaline Rush. Much Cheaper to do, except for all the Damn surgery bills I had to pay over the yrs getting bones replaced with metal in my body. Lol
I and alot if people just enjoy it as is. You can modify any vehicle to fit your needs and wants. I have already seen people modifying there Gen 3s on the Forum and the Gen 3 is much more purposely built for off road more than mine will ever be. I like the truckyness of the Gen1
I actually never had a problem with my Springs. I'm not out there trying to go baja riding. For me the truck does everything I want it to and then some. Its been a Very nice and Solid daily driver for many years. Now its my weekend toy going to MX tracks with my bike and occasionally rip it...
Brakes and springs can easily be modified at a reasonable cost if one chooses to. As far as techy stuff, well I'm not in to all that techy stuff and there always seems to be problems with techy stuff. Drive train is SOLID. The truck does everything I want it to do and Then Some. I have other...
When you see a Gen 1, you know rt away it's a RAPTOR. I always have to take a couple looks when I see a Gen 2 or 3 on the road to know its a RAPTOR. All the f150s have a very similar front end. But the Gen 1 was always different from anything else on the road. Dont get me wrong, I love em all...
I never bought a truck to Win drag races. Lol. Thats what muscle cars are for. You can make Any vehicle Faster. And there ALWAYS Someone faster. Like a dog chasing its tail. Own what makes you put a smile on your face. For me its my good old Gen1 and still LOVING IT.
Have you used your AC? My wife's Edge had a condensenation drain tube that fell off the unit under the dash that completely soaked her floors. I found it and simply reconnected the tube. Sometimes its the simplest things
Mine has never leaked and truck is 10 yrs old. But the cheap plastic parts that move it broke into pieces about 4 yrs ago. I now have money to get it fixed and appointment made next week. Praying they hook up the drains properly. Lol
Cause of the prices now I put 89 in it. Occasionally use 93. As others mentioned it gets a little better gas mileage with 93. Not much different than 89 but bigger difference than regular. As a result I Never use less than 89
Yep mine still gets a ton of attention also. Everywhere it's parked. And I'm LOVING ALL OF IT. Even the Satisfaction of saying NO to the occasional person offering crazy money to buy it. She's a KEEPER
The dealer I go to all the time told me they would sell me there Gen 3 at MSRP cause they know I always come in for maintenance. Anyone else they asking 15K over MSRP. Cause they want the vehicle to come back for maintenance visits and etc. But I LOVE my Gen1 so not interested. They just don't...
