    Gen 1 Raptor Options - Pls help

    Fact is these trucks are over 10 years old. My truck has been in the shop 3 separate times with low miles, mostly because of incomplete or incorrect diagnosis but the culprit ended up being misfiring due to corroded plugs and coils. If the truck you’re looking at was in a humid environment I’d...

    Best way to diagnose misfire

    Forscan mode 6 should show all the data you’re looking for. Just have to sift through each cylinder

    Keep or Return?

    Good decision keeping it. If you own and know how to use even a basic mechanics tool set you’ll be able to get that truck running and acting as it should. Welcome! from the pics, I wouldn’t worry much on the oil changes, I bet they were done. it’s unlikely that someone would install a CAI and...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Installed the Morimoto 3rd brake light. Install difficulty 1/10 assuming you have trim tools to pop the 2 headliner pins. Took all of 10 minutes and I find the foam around the Morimoto to be OEM+. Love the look. I passed on the rapid flash module, it’s just not my style.

    Performance SUV -> Raptor

    I went from a 2011 X5M to my Gen 1. The size is no comparison despite what some are saying on here. The raptor is much more roomy. IMO the raptor is one of the best road trip vehicles for ride and space alone. That being said, our X7 is preferred by my wife so we tend to drive it long distance...

    Looking at used 14 w/83k

    I looked at a truck with this. the One I looked at had some sort of PPF in that same area. My 2012 doesn’t have it but it may have been included from the factory. The rust bucket I looked at was deteriorating in the same manner. As far as the hitch, my guess is that is terribly bubbling rust...

    WTB black Gen 3 wheels

    This might be a long shot, but… As the description states, I’m looking to buy a set of gen 3 wheels. Preferably black but would consider gunmetal. I added a photo below for the style I’m looking for. Located in Memphis, TN thanks!

    swapping corsa exhaust with stock?

    I did it by myself in the garage. It’s not too difficult. I still have my factory muffler available.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Isn’t that the truth. I have a few battle wounds on my hands from swapping those out last night. Blood was shed

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Applied ceramic trim coat on my front inner fender liners. Now they match the pretty black of my bedliner coated rears. Highly recommend! photo is after the first coat and I realized I didn’t get full coverage. It’s now complete

    What wires are those?

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    All new coils, plugs, and wires complete. Should definitely get a T-shirt for completing that! I left everything on the vehicle and it was tedious but with patience everything went smoothly. Whooo!

    15 minute job. Removed the bed extenders while I was at it. Overall very well built and extremely comfortable to sit on. Starbucks tailgate who’s coming ?

    Best options for clearcoat repair

    It’s probably be best to get ahold of a local reputable shop and ask. looks doable but fairly laborious. My guess is they’ll likely advise a total respray. That’s what I would do.

    Want to order a Ranger Raptor

    This is probably a ridiculous question, but is anyone getting these at MSRP?

    Will you even consider a Cybertruck (Fun Poll)

    I would consider the cyber truck AND a Raptor but not OR. I’d have to put one of those binge worthy stickers “my other car is a ***” on it
