    91 or 93 Octane?

    93 is rare in my area, KY and In. So it's 91 most of the time. I can't feel any difference. Maybe a dyno would show something.

    Best Way/Place to Sell Raptor?

    Taxes are applied for the state you register the vehicle

    Current ford interest rates for raptor

    Minimum down may trigger gap insurance if you pay ADM. Waiting for the craziness to go away.

    Best Way/Place to Sell Raptor?

    Shop around. The difference between the lowest, Carmax, on my '17 Z07 Corvette and highest, the Chevy dealer, was 14K. Honestly I had to stare at the number for a sec. Saved a bunch on taxes because KY only charges sales tax on the trade difference. 2022 C8 ordered in early December, delivery...

    GEN 2 18 Months of Raptor Ownership, summized.

    Pretty much the same as my 18. Still am as happy with it as the day I drove it home.

    Proper Break-in process for Gen 3:

    The brakes need to be cycled between hot and cold several times before any heavy use. The rotors will be more resistant to warping and will last longer.

    Brown Tires

    Sand is the best cleaner. A hour or so on the dunes will make 'em look better than new.

    GEN 1 Will this surface cause head gasket failure?

    I would, at least, try to get the money back. At most you will have a claim for what you're spending now. I own two automotive service shops. I am very reluctant to get attorneys involved in auto repair, but have been forced to a few times. There is a company called Donan Engineering that does...

    Someone hit my Raptor in a parking lot....of course left no note $4,000-5,000 is the estimate

    Insurance companies have so much money they would need a EPA permit to burn a little of it. Cost/benefit analysis. Costs them less to pay the claim than pursue the other party.

    Interesting Scenario

    My opinion I think the R will have the same effect as the Z06. That is that the Z06 did not depress the value of the Sting Ray. My 2017 Z06 is worth 90% of sticker. The C8 is raising the value of the C7's. When the new Z06 comes out it will be a niche vehicle as will the Raptor R. As such it...

    Why would you not buy a gen 3?

    The entire situation around the Gen 3 is ridiculous. Allocations? Orders? VINs? Build dates? Ship Dates? Mark-ups? Delivery dates? I'm going to opt out for a year or whenever. When this process returns to something I recognize as normal I'll order or purchase from dealer stock. Like I did with...

    37 package built but no chip

    A friend who is in Dearborn working on SD's told me last Saturday that in addition to chip shortage, now transport is becoming a bigger issue. IDK, but it's getting more confusing by the day. I'm placing an order next week. Hoping I'll see it by summer. Have had dealers tell me that they can get...

    Bit the bullet and bought a Borla Exhaust!

    I have had the FP exhaust by Borla on my 18 for three years. It's the touring system so it has valves that open as the exhaust pressure increases. Ay WOT it's very loud and sounds great. At normal throttle I can get out of my neighborhood without disturbing my neighbors too much. There is also a...

    Silver Lake ORV Park in Mears MI 600 acres of sand dunes. Not too far from Chicago The people at Dune Land have been very helpful to me October is, I think, the best time to go. Weekdays are not crowded at all. The park closes at the end of October We are going next week or the week after...

    Ford GT with Akropovic exhaust

    I have the Ford performance exhaust on my '18 with larger turbo outlet flanges. Great sound, no drone. Was expensive but I would do it again.

    GEN 2 Car Wash

    Many carwash systems won't take a raptor. I use a couple that say duallies will fit. By far the best one I use has neoprene brushes that spin at very low speed. Using it for over ten years with black F150s and last 2.5 years with a black Raptor. There are no brush marks on the truck.
