Not harder to see when they're lit up. I set forscan to turn them on as daytime running lights. They're plenty bright when they're on. The smoke lenses blend in with the grill and body.

I replaced all of the marker lights with LED smoked lenses. It really cleaned up the look alot.

I had considered a weight distribution hitch when I got the trailer, but after experiencing the heavy cross winds in the Panhandle and West Texas, I didn't really feel that the trailer was out of control with just the regular hitch. I am still considering one though but I am used to towing...

I should have taken a photo of the dash readout the day I returned to San Antonio. The mileage has increased a tad bit at 9.9mpg after a few days.

Much appreciated. I bought this trailer because it gave me some leeway with the rated towing capacity of the Raptor. It has a hitch weight of 465lbs, 3219lbs empty, and max 4,865lbs fully loaded. I don't have much in the trailer other than a few dishes and some camping supplies. I didn't fill...

I recently went up to Amarillo from San Antonio twice in the last month due to my mom having a medical emergency and then unfortunately passing away. I'm okay with it, we had this discussion several times over the years and I did everything she wanted even though she was non-responsive most of...

Drove from Amarillo Texas to Floydada Texas three times this week. This truck loves some flat land. I averaged 21.3mpg on those drives. However in Amarillo, lucky to get 9mpg.

I can take it or leave on sliding rear windows. My wife had a 2008 Explorer Spot Trac that had a huge downward sliding window. That was pretty cool The tiny one on the Raptor/F150 doesn't seem to serve a purpose.

I have a spare set of shocks that need a rebuild but don't have the tools to do it. I found a great place in San Antonio to do them. I just need to get it done and swapped. I have 42,300 miles on my 2014. I want to swap them out at 50k miles and rebuild the ones currently on the truck. Anyone...

Did a Cannonball Run from the east side of San Antonio Near Braunfels, Texas to Amarillo, Texas. Made it from Junction, TX to Amarillo on one tank of gas at 85-95mph most of the way. Left San Antonio at 1pm pulled into the hospital parking lot at 8:15pm The Raptor performed flawlessly! Ate up...

Jelly!

I changed out all the marker lights tosmoked lens LEDs. They look much better than stock. I also installed the smoked LED turn signals in the mirrors.

I like the Ruby Red color the best. Was looking for one in that color for a long time. Settled on the Blue Flame. I have to admit, the blue is growing on me. Would like to have one in the tan color if only because it hides dirt pretty well.

Who gave you permission to use my name? :Big Laugh: Badass build!!!

That's alot of truck! $400k is chump change.

Members acting like him are what kills technical forums. I didn't sign up here to be called ignorant and stupid because I like my Gen 1 POS. I came here for technical advice and to pass on knowledge. I am far from ignorant on performance vehicles. I was a major gearhead in high school. I've...

Are you also chicking the vacuum air resevoir?

We all have different opinions and we should all be treated with respect. Being called ignorant is blatantly disrespectful. I don't care who he is, it's way out of line.

Call it what you will ignorance or whatever. I don't really care. Your personal attacks are getting old and reek of childish desperation. Other members are completely fed up with you. How about you back the eff off and let other members have their opinions and respect those opinions for what...

You're beyond the point of being ridiculous. Stay out of the Gen 1 forums if you hate the trucks and their owners so much. Your opinion is noted and disregarded. I don't care what you like and you shouldn't care what I like. I have my particular preferences the same as you. I like big V8s and...

I know there are hundreds of thousands of Eco-boost engines out there that are doing well. That is not my point. My point is putting that engine in a heavy package like the Ford Raptor is not a good idea. The problems are coming from the trucks that are beat on and pushed to the limits. The 6.2...

I would love to read that report on his thoughts on the details. A Nascar engine in a Raptor would be an absoulte BEAST!! Found the Motertrend article! Sounds like he had a blast on the journey to get that up and running. I used to be a gear head in high school and I really miss it somedays but...

Yeah, you still cannot convince me that a boosted V-6 in a heavy package like the Raptor is good for long term reliability. 180k and had to have major work to the engine just reinforces my beliefs.

Same thing happens to me. I usually drive around 80mph on the freeway here. It's always the lifted F-150s and Rams. The bigger the tires and higher the lift, the more they need to show up a Raptor. I was on the way home last night and a Ram just had to pass me like I was standing still. No...
