Yeah, I'm sure your 6000 pound truck handles awesome and accelerates like crazy after you remove 75 pounds from it.

It is an off-road truck and you are worried about a couple of little marks on your springs? Take it on trails for one single day and you will have just as much cosmetic damage. One day. As for the guy telling you to file an insurance claim, ummm, no.

Great examples. Jobs and Gates dropped out of college (Harvard in Gates' case) and Allen graduated from Arizona Teacher's College. Not sure you meant Steve Allen though. He was an entertainer, not an inventor.

That looks like textbook burn thru on the clear done by a high school dropout making $9/hr in a dealership recon department. Sorry it happened but there is little that can fix it beyond a repaint.

OP might have some kind of driveline issue from driveshaft to wheel bearing, etc. going on. Or he is coming from an S-class. If he could chime in with a video capturing the sound or even describe it in more detail (varies with speed vs. road surface for example) we could probably help him out.

It might not only be his first time with off-road tires, it might even be his first truck. If he came from any type of modern luxury car from BMW, Audi, Merc, Lexus, etc then a Raptor is going to be a bit of a transition.

Nice Raptor! Red looks great with those big tires.

Yeah, cool. Old dudes with pickups make about as much sense as guys 70+ on motorcycles. Give it up, Gramps.

It was late spring '21

NO 5hit, Sherlock. Thanks for clearing that up. My comments still stand. Actually, there is less than zero excuse for needing it to power close. I can maybe see a tiny justification for power opening. But not really. Prats that want a power tailgate are the reason Raptors cost $75,000. Idiots.

Powered tailgate. A solution in search of a problem. Why on God's Earth would anyone want another electronic doodad on their truck? I mean, great the tailgate powers down as you approach with an armful of stuff. You still have to put it in the truck, so clearly your arms aren't broken.

Griot's Garage Interior Cleaner is great. You can use it on any interior surface and while not intended for glass, it doesn't make a total greasy mess if you get a bit on your glass like a lot of the 'shiny' products. Stay away from trying to make your interior 'shine'. No pro detailer...

We have officially lost our collective minds. I have tons of cash, own two houses and have zero debt. I am starting to almost wish we would have a wicked recession to fix some of this ********.

Take a picture with the door open. I have not seen an Atlas blue truck with the blue interior. I'm thinking the two different blues might look weird. Congrats on the truck.

Look in the driver's door jamb. Ford engineers set the spec and printed it on a nice sticker for you.

Congrats on the new truck! Makes me a little sad to hear that your wife won't be riding shotgun.

Look, a 'baller' has arrived. He paid a mere $10K ADM and now only owes $62K. He is exactly the guy I was referring to.

All you guys paying ADMs better pray this market does not correct itself in the next couple of years. Cash buyers, what do they care, it just costs a little more for this toy. But God help anyone who is financing these things. You are going to be so flipped in these things that you'll never...

Iconic silver really suits the Gen 3. Keep her shiny side up!

Great deal, good catch. You've done a great service to this forum.

It is NOT fiberglass.

Just what a Raptor needs. Add it to the 20 places it already appears on the truck.

Clay bar will take that off. It is going to take 10 bars and 3 hours, but it will come off.

I don't know squat about any stupid R button but that wheel finish with that antimatter paint is amazing.

Honestly never heard anyone refer to any other turbo car as an 'ecoboost' much less a 'non-car person. In my experience, non-car people don't even know how many cylinders a car has. I am actually pretty stoked for this turbo inline 6. I have a similar engine in my Land Rover Defender and it...
