    Steering sensation….

    You probably bought this tools old truck after Carmax shipped it out of the US

    Transmission deemed cooked

    FordTechOne provides more diagnostic guidance and information than anyone else on this site, and it's not even close. He is a very valuable resource that contributes in a multitude of ways. Just because you don't like his answer doesn't mean he's wrong. And the gaslighting is ironic, considering...

    My journey to Raptor R ownership

    Until you have something in writing, you have nothing. I'd keep pushing for a sort of "promissory note" if you will, so that you have some sort of recourse when the dealer sells the truck to someone else. Or they will just ADM you out of the deal if they want to sell it to someone else.

    GEN 2 Most efficient and effective way to get the 500 horses?

    Gotcha, as others have mentioned, I would recommend Goosetune and FMIC, seems to please most people and there's a very noticeable performance improvement. I'm still stock engine as I don't have the cajones to blow my warranty yet, but have driven two trucks with Goosetune's and they are very...

    GEN 2 Most efficient and effective way to get the 500 horses?

    For 0-60 times I'd buy a different truck Shelby Super Snake, or TRX. Sounds like an identity crisis.

    Livernois Tune PROBLEMS. DO NOT BUY

    This went about exactly as expected. Emotional rant from a desperate kid who broke dad's truck looking to pawn responsibility off on anyone he can.

    Advice on how to get a Raptor R in the future

    I'd start by buying a Gen 3, a 2022 F250, and maybe something else. Become the owners favorite customer, because that's who is getting first dibs, if the owner himself doesn't take it.

    Raptor and its future (EV Raptor)

    Care to name a few of those? Horsepower, torque, weight, fuel economy, etc? I'm trying to think of a single metric the 5.0 beats the 3.5 high output (apparently H.O. is a bad word) in?

    GEN 2 Any of you thought about trading the Raptor for the Bronco

    I was very interested in the Badlands first edition sasquatch package but Ford's reservations are so screwed up just like with Raptor gen 3 I moved on. RR SVR for daily and Raptor for hunting and offroading. Broncos look great, hope to try one some day, not doing ADM though.

    New 2021/2022ish Raptor purchase perks

    Yes, you get a Raptor and floor mats.

    Raptor and its future (EV Raptor)

    Me too! We will just make it appear out of nowhere, something about thermodynamics and energy being created and destroyed? Nuclear energy should be the future, I think we agree on that. Water, wind, and solar all have their place as well, just not as primary grid power supplies. All these EV's...

    Raptor and its future (EV Raptor)

    You are probably not aware, coal fire power plants, produce....electricity! There you go, we are officially the greenest country in the world! Nuclear power is electric, coal power is electric, and even gasoline is used to produce electricity! My Raptor now identifies as EV, thank you for...

    Reviews? First drives?

    Just pray it's not TFL that gets the first review. It'd be yet another TRX drag race video plus rock crawling since that's what baja is all about.

    Why 8,200 lbs tow?

    In what engineering vacuum do we disregard the suspension for a tow/payload rating? You can throw 1000 lb/ft of torque in the Raptor or TRX, but the suspension is going to be the limiter. Can't isolate independent variables that way in a system based rating. It's almost entirely the suspension...

    Raptor and its future (EV Raptor)

    EV's will be great, just imagine rolling blackouts when your state gov says no charging between hours x-x, and all you have is an EV. Already happening in California, and will spread as energy infrastructure demand surpasses capability at peak hours.

    Wireless CarPlay adapter anyone?

    How did you connect via wifi? All I see in my trucks wifi is a VOLKSWAGEN which is the carlink (probably resold and used from Amazon?) and it requires a password to connect?

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    Sorry I'm the village idiot, what is better about the 2.0 IFP? I am looking at the SVC kit as well and figured I'd just go King or Fox 2.5? Thanks in advance.

    2020 Raptor with 4800 miles is still leaking water inside

    I don't have any experience with your interior moisture problem, and it seems to be uncommon from some cursory searches. That being said, I would go to a different dealer. The fact your dealer claims Ford "doesn't stand behind their products" speaks volumes to their relationship with Ford. Ford...

    Dealer Negotiation

    Yes clearly dealers sell at invoice and make no money out of the good will in their heart, that's how the bought their Patek and $5000 western boots. Dealer's make good money at invoice, and great money at anything above. Which is one of the reasons ADM is that much more insulting.

    2022 Ford F-150 Raptor R: "durability problems when turned up beyond 650 HP"

    This is very true, Ford is concerned with making money, that's it. Regardless of what their "social justice media team" tells everyone.
