    Truck Height

    78.4" or 78,5" according to Ford. I don't know what a "standard" garage is, I'd strongly suggest measuring. My garage is 78.5" high (literally). Have never tried putting Raptor in it though.

    2011 Raptor review by "4-wheel" & "off-road" magazine

    The only controls I really mind are the climate...it's just a giant grid of buttons. Non-nav trucks seem to have a better layout (because they have more space and they used more knobs).

    Greetings..........

    Welcome, sounds like you'll fit in just fine!

    Black or Molten Orange paint

    Can't go wrong either way. I went black but have seen a few orange ones that just look amazing too. Watch out for Hennessey stuff, For instance, their Procharger package has a few thousand dollars worth of markup in it compared to what Procharger will set it for.

    Welcome Outlaw Raptor to FRF!!!

    Welcome! I'll definitely have to make it over to the retail store one of these days! Just was looking through the pics on your website and need to give props to the photographer....I think it's just a mild fisheye they're using but it makes the trucks look enormous. Do you guys do perch...

    I know you guys are going to hate it!

    I would strongly recommend against going fast off road and/or even thinking about getting any wheels off the ground with that setup. I'm basing this on the fact that those are 33" tires and you've gone to 20" wheels. You've lost about 2.5" of tire radius (RADIUS, not diameter). You only...

    Turn signal noise is actually a speaker?

    Ah, I could definitely be wrong on that...on the GM trucks I'd always heard it was through the audio system. You had to get a special module if you replaced the stock head unit.

    New MO Screw

    Congrats, looks great! Love the orange without any of the graphics (rare).

    Turn signal noise is actually a speaker?

    Everything is playing through the radio speakers. This is a computer/programming issue, there are a given number of audio channels available/allowed, and once those are exceeded the computer either stops playing new sounds or prioritizes them appropriately. My 2004 GMC Sierra had the same type...

    EARLY 2012 Ford Raptor Finds ?????

    Nice...I'd love to retrofit a front camera if possible (can see that likely not being the case). Have always thought that'd be a great feature for cresting hills and such.

    650+ hp......

    That could be entertaining. :D

    Inexpensive cool modification

    I just want to find a good plastic/rubberized item that says nothing. Truck already has Ford, SVT, and Raptor emblems on the back of it, I don't like redundancy. :) Anyone know where I can get one online? Auto parts stores seem to detest the idea.

    Wide Raptor

    Remember that ALL of the H1 is that width though, unlike the Raptor with it's much narrower standard-F150-width body. Funny how these have not become any less awesome to me since seeing them 20 or so years ago:

    productivity screen on a 2010????

    I heard that installing a productivity screen will cause that too though. :jester:

    Raptor/limited

    Raptor is by far the most expensive truck (optioned up). Harleys, Limiteds, and Platinums can all be purchased with substantially more discount/rebate even though the MSRPs are very close. An ecoboost limited/plat will also make it substantially more economical with gas. You can also get...

    Guess what the "Least Efficient Truck" is...

    Dynamic pressure = 1/2 ρ v^2 ρ = air density v = velocity Total drag = Cd * SA * 1/2 * ρ * v^2 Cd = coefficient of drag SA = reference surface area Raptor has a whole bunch of Cd and a whole bunch of SA which adds up to not much MPG. There's no point in paying attention to anything other...

    I bought mine for fuel economy. And now I'm PISSED. :roflsquared:

    A DUMBASS AND HIS 1st OIL CHANGE!

    Sorry to hear that! And did they expect a car wash to clean up the oil? :roflsquared: What is it they say about oil and water again?

    Tech Question - Traction Control

    This is my first vehicle with traction and/or stability control. Must say so far I find it pretty lenient on road and in wet conditions. Have deliberately stepped the back end out around wet corners a few times specifically to see where the threshold is, and it was a heck of a lot farther out...

    Dodge is trying to compete with the Raptor!

    Have never been a fan of Chrysler, always thought they were a bit lacking on the quality front. But that truck is just plain awesome, and I'm thrilled to see the Raptor become so that you'll be able to get one (with significant improvements) in 20 years. The alternative is that you get to...

    Screw build mx style

    Looks great! Guessing that emblem works quite well with the tires.

    Youtube comment's

    Have never found more idiotic comments than on truly "general public" sites. Most of the knowledgeable folks won't bother to comment beyond "wow, that's impressive", so the majority of such discussion winds up being pure nonsense. Within a few pages it should naturally devolve into a...

    Why does the A/C turn on automatically?

    It was 56* outside, climate control was set at 66*, "AUTO" was off, A/C was off. I turned the temperature up to 68. Looked down ten minutes later and the A/C was on. This has happened a few times before, independent of any input. I'll look down and just notice it's decided to run the...
