    Raptor's front drivetrain is pulling you

    Thanks for posting....that was particularly interesting, had never heard of this.....no center diff and different front/rear axle ratios, wow.

    Guy struck by Ford Raptor

    Trading gen 2 for gen 1

    I wouldn't worry about some skid plate damage unless it's absolutely thrashed. So easy to smash the skid plate without actually abusing the truck. The biggest enemy here is the transaction cost of changing vehicles. Dealer and tax man generally want several thousand dollars each.

    TRX throwing shade at the Raptor

    Does engine torque under 2000 RPM matter at all when running through a torque converter automatic? Not asking rhetorically, I think the answer is no as you're only just past (stock) converter stall speed, but not certain. LS (still my favorite engine, sorry everyone) is a tiny...

    GEN 2 CB install

    Question I've never found a certain answer to: is there a single radio out there that supports both amateur and CB bands? Pretty sure the answer is no due to fundamental incompatibility.

    Lowered Raptor FTW

    Always thought that'd be kinda cool (starting with a regular F-150) and looks good IMO. Think it might look better with flares painted and non-raptor F-150 bumper/grille though (not sure if Raptor hood/fenders can line up with those though).

    2019 beadlocks with black powdercoated trim trings? Photoshop included.

    Thinking about picking a set of OEM beadlocks up from craigslist and then having the trim rings powdercoated to replace my stock cast wheels. Anyone done this (any color, black or otherwise) with the 2019/2020 wheels? Pic attached is photoshop from a dealer video...only the front is done...

    Guessing he's thinking Power Wagon?

    TRX throwing shade at the Raptor

    Think it's actually a bit heavier than that, as they weigh it with the 305hp V6 and no options. Car and Driver estimates 5400-5800lb for '19 Rebel: https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a19561753/2019-ram-1500-rebel-first-drive-review/

    TRX throwing shade at the Raptor

    LOL that's actually pretty hilarious. Nothing wrong with more competition. Wonder if there's more than one powertrain option in the TRX? I can't see them making this as mass-produced as Raptor *and* 700hp. Could see a standard 395hp Hemi (or one set up to make 451hp) being the base option.

    Husky liners

    I ordered mine from Husky directly on April 23, they showed up April 30. New style. So far like them, install wasn't as bad as expected...two people doing it helped.

    Gear lights disappeared

    2011 did the same thing. It was a dumb design then, and it's a dumb design now. If they really want this configurable, make it a configuration setting.

    Scraping sound at high speed only when accelerating

    It should be fine to drive around with the hubs locked as long as transfer case is in 2wd. When the front wheels turn they'll turn the front axles/diff/ driveshaft, which will cause mechanical drag and burn more gas. It's fine for pavement though as long as it's disconnected at transfer case...

    Fifteen52 Wheels

    Starting to really like these (all of them). Everything is 0 offset though right, nothing available in stock +34mm offset (or close)?

    Gaps in the bed

    I don't think that's the problem...it's the giant gaps at the bottom on the tailgate. Turn the bedlight on in darkness and close tailgate+tonneau. They're huge. Still trying to figure out a solution to "reasonably" seal it on mine, the weatherstrip I bought is way too small for the gap.

    Do Gen 1's fit in car washes?

    Well, they're better for the paint than those natural truck cleaning brushes on either side of the trail.

    Do Gen 1's fit in car washes?

    There is, but it's pretty weak relative to most others. And if you dine in, you'll spend 5 minutes trying to figure out which Raptor is yours when you leave.

    What my 2018 M3 and my 2020 Raptor have in common...

    Isn't the new M3 still getting a manual in the RWD version? Or is that Europe only?

    Both my 11 and 19 fit through H2GOExpress in HB.

    Things You DIscovered About Your Raptor
