    Smoother Transmission Shifting

    As stated in other posts, I am not completely sold on how the 10-speed transmission shifts. Shifts from 6 through 10 gear are great, but under normal accelerations, the shifts from 1st to 3rd and 3rd to 5th (2nd and 4th gears are skipped) are very noticeable to me due to the extra RPMs required...

    Vibration In Gas Pedal

    Thanks for the response. I saw a similar post and tried this months back to no avail.

    Vibration In Gas Pedal

    Unfortunately I did not. I actually cut off the rubber vibration dampener on the driver's side rear portion of the exhaust and that strangely enough seems to have helped, but the problem still persists to a lesser degree. I am not proposing that others cut off the vibration dampener, but I was...

    Rear Springs - shim to cure vibration

    I am having similar gas pedal vibrations and was told it was a harmonic vibration coming from the exhaust system. Seems like my vibrations are worse at certain RMPs. Could they be misdiagnosing my issue?

    Supercab vs supercrew... leg room and appearence

    My sentiments exactly. I like the looks of the SCAB better, but needed the room of the SCREW for the family.

    Prospective owner looking for '18 allocation

    Not sure where in the midwest you live, but Northgate Ford in Cincinnati took my 2017 MSRP order on November 1st and I received my truck the day after Christmas. I am not saying that I had the quickest turnaround time on getting my truck, but it can't be too far off. Not only do you need to...

    4 Auto Issue

    I still hear the same noise. I am beginning to think it is somewhat normal. 4A on this truck is definitely not as smooth and seamless as an Acura MDX, etc.... My 2011 Armada 4A mode even seems much more refined to the degree that you can flip the switch between 2H and 4A and I wouldn't be...

    2017 M&R Ford Raptor Fog Kit Prototype

    I have actually saved several milk jugs and plan on giving this a test ASAP. I will compare the results to my high-tech trash bag solution and report back on the results. ---------- Post added at 02:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 PM ---------- If I should have an issue with...

    Race Red Raptor - Yay or Nay!!

    I don't hate it, but I am going with Nay. The red that I have always liked is BMW's Imola red which seems to be a little deeper and darker.

    Can't Tell if Shimmy is Just the Tires

    Make sure they road force balance the tires. The rear tires that came with my truck were in theory balanced, but when you road force balanced them, they couldn't be properly balanced and had to be replaced.

    What did you pay +/- MSRP?

    So let me get this straight… Your step-brother's mother's uncle's best friend's dad's prom date from high school knows the owner of the dealership and he gave you that great of a deal. Are you sure he doesn't have a crush on your wife or girlfriend? Just kidding ...... glad you got such a...

    What did you pay +/- MSRP?

    How were you able to order a Raptor for $4K under MSRP? Do you have a personal connection with the owner of the dealership? Was there a trade in tied to the transaction, or were you purchasing other vehicles? I pride myself on being able to work decent deals and I couldn't even come close to...

    aFe Rebel Side Exit Cat-Back Exhaust with 3-1/2" Dual Black Tips for the 2017 Raptor

    I am interested in what other people think about the design, quality, etc... I have never bought an aftermarket exhaust, so I am not familiar with this company and only know a few of the key players (Borla, Corsa, etc..). A little more noise/rumble sounds like fun, but I am not sure if this...

    Drag Strip Launch

    Fully agree. Everybody needs to quit sending ridiculously nasty responses to anything that deviates from the norm on this forum. We all have different interests and reasons for buying a Raptor, all of which are good, so let's quit judging and be receptive to others who march to a different beat.

    Vibration In Gas Pedal

    All said and done, the dealer tightened the engine, transmission, and exhaust mounts with the car running to try and eliminate all vibration. The truck is definitely better and I can tell a difference, but it isn't totally fixed; I can still feel much more vibration (mostly in the gas pedal)...

    Vibration In Gas Pedal

    I apologize for not providing an update. I just dropped it off this morning at a different dealership because the other dealership wasn't able to fix the problem. I drove with their senior technician and he immediately said it was the exhaust causing the problem. I asked him if he had any doubts...

    Console Organization

    I bought the exact same thing and absolutely love it. It fits tightly, doesn't make any noise, and works really well. I initially didn't like the price, but I surely am not going to take the time to make up my own contraption for $25.

    2017 M&R Ford Raptor Fog Kit Prototype

    I fully agree and I didn't want to either, but strangely enough, it is working amazingly well. As soon as I have a better solution in hand, I will be switching, but until then, I have working lights that I can use every day. I don't solicit comments, but I've already had a couple people tell...

    Calling Any/All Raptor Owners Near Cincinnati, Ohio

    A long story short, I love numerous things about my Raptor, but I also have a few annoyances that I would like to determine if they are specific to my truck, or just traits of the Gen 2 Raptor. If there is anybody near the Cincinnati area that would like to get together to chat about their...

    2017 M&R Ford Raptor Fog Kit Prototype

    That is definitely a better solution. M&R ..... how much for additional lenses to do as described above? Any chance you will offer some pre-tinted so we can have a somewhat street legal solution?

    2017 M&R Ford Raptor Fog Kit Prototype

    To reduce the intensity of the lights so they can be used for street use, I came up with the following solution that seems to be working well enough for the time being until I can come up with something better. All said and done, I cut lens size disks out of a Hefty tall white kitchen garbage...

    Reducing Fog Light Intensity For Street Use

    Looking for solutions to reduce the intensity of my fog lights for street use. The end caps easily screw off each individual light, so are there cheap filters that can be inserted for street use and removed for offroading?
