    Next-Gen Ford F-150 Raptor Will Get Supercharged 5.2L Predator V8

    If you think either generation of Raptor sucks and is completely inferior to the other, I'm guessing you haven't owned one of that generation.

    (Not sure where to post) Any info on this truck?

    I actually lived in California when I bought both 2011 and 2019...neither was the world's most amazing deal but both were couple K under sticker... at time I found some in TX, SD, and ME but was so busy with work cost-benefit wasn't there to do it. Definitely don't even consider CA if they want...

    (Not sure where to post) Any info on this truck?

    Price seems steep.... could get a new one for one comparably equipped for only a couple $k more, with full warranty and better financing. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/new-cars/ford/f150/salt-lake-city-ut-84101?dma=&searchRadius=0&trimCodeList=F150PICKUP|Raptor,F150PICKUP|SVT...

    Digital License Plate

    Would not touch with a ten foot pole. But then again I'm the type of idiot who pulls the cellular modem fuse on his truck, runs a LineageOS-without-Google smartphone, and doesn't have any "smart" appliances on his network. Not a luddite,but a software developer. Much less concerned about...

    GEN 2 Method 703’s over OEM

    Are the 703s available in +25mm offset yet? Been thinking about doing the same to my truck in future, but thought they were only offering zero offset right now. If you're not familiar with offsets.... The stock wheels are +35mm offset. From what I read, +25mm is "close enough". The lower...

    Need tire and rim advice.

    At full compression, the wheel has to go inside the fenderwell. If it sticks out, it will just conveniently remove the fiberglass fenders for you. Yes, companies will gladly sell you wheel and tire packages knowing exactly what kind of truck you have and knowing that if the suspension fully...

    New Raptor mistakenly undercoated

    DO NOT BUY THAT. Rubberized undercoating is an absolute fraud. It just holds salt/water against the parts to corrode beneath it. It's a guaranteed death sentence.

    TFL: Gen 3 + GT500 V8 is confirmed

    My brother had one in high school. It was the fastest car in the world. The whole world! (But seriously, OMG was 205hp amazing then)

    TFL: Gen 3 + GT500 V8 is confirmed

    I was totally guessing on numbers there... based on them continuing to use our 3.5L....only number I've seen publicly stated is the Powerboost in the 10speed truck supposedly makes 41hp. But just realized they're all quoting it as making "35kw / 41hp"....But 35kw is actually 47hp...so...

    TFL: Gen 3 + GT500 V8 is confirmed

    I think it makes a lot of sense for them to do this. The Powerboost only makes 41hp. And maybe they reliably squeeze another 50 out of the Ecoboost for an even 500hp. So 541hp at most, but they'll have to call it 500hp + 41hp, because typically the max system power will be nowhere close to...

    Question #14: What to look for before taking delivery?

    The most important thing is to make sure it's not a witch. Bring a duck with you and if your Raptor weighs the same as a duck, it's a witch, and you should not buy it. Also if it's made of wood it's a witch, and you should burn it. For reference:

    Airlift new system installed. Love it

    Is that a function of it failing as a result of offroading or outright limiting capability?

    is this price crazy or absolutely insane?

    Well it's 90k, but according to ad it's got a 10-cylinder in it, so it could be really great. Hope it's not the Ford U-Haul V10. Or the BMW S85, because it's probably due for rod bearings already. I mean if it's the Lambo item it's prolly worth the 90k, so quit shit talking the poor guy...

    Achieved 17.4 MPH today on 2.5 hour trip through mountains

    You can calibrate the gauge to read accurately, by setting a multiplier on the displayed value using "Engineering Test Mode": After testing with gas used per mile vs the computer, I set mine to 941, i.e., my truck gets 94.1% of the original mileage. It tends to be within 3% accurate now...

    Sync 3.4 Update

    Is there a noticeable improvement in performance or anywhere else, or is it just BLUE? I'm not terribly excited about the blue.

    GEN 2 Stock offset (+25mm) 17” wheels?

    According to Method's master parts list (on their website) the 703 is listed as coming-soon in +25 for 6x135 17x8.5. These have the "bead-grip technology" ribs on them. There's a pic of them in Aftermarket Wheels thread here.

    BIG PROBLEM with the Forum Search!!!!!!

    I find it really helps to sort-by-date (sort-by-relevance) is default. Maybe change that to the default option?

    Aftermarket Wheels

    I just looked at the Method Master Parts List (link on their website at bottom). Looks like the 703 is going to be coming in 17x8.5, 6x135, with a 25mm offset. Says "coming soon" like the 0mm 703s, although the "created date" is June for the 25mm, vs February for the 0mm. Edit...forum ruined...

    Icon Multi-Rate Rear Leaf Spring Kit

    Anyone running just the Icon leaves in Option 1 without changing the front springs? Have a 2019, totally stock. I'm currently at 40" front and 41.5" rear. I assume these take me up to 42.5" in the rear unless I get a 2" drop shackle like the Camburg item? Will I see more payload capacity...
