Car-B-Ques happen. On Interstate 17 between Flagstaff and Phoenix car fires are a too regular occasion. Sometimes it’s a pickup pulling a camper that burns on the grade, other times it seems more random. The last one I saw in person was a Hyundai Sonota on a flat section just above one of the...

Offroad is a different story, do whatever is necessary to get home.

They do it on the Mustang GT’s also, and they don’t need any help in the exhaust sound department. https://www.pocket-lint.com/cars/news/ford/131151-ford-admits-to-pumping-fake-engine-noises-through-mustang-speakers-to-make-cars-sound-better

I want to see the Dodge Omni Easter egg of Lee Iacocca biting the head off a rabbit mentioned in that article.

I remember test driving an manual trans EB Mustang a few years back when I was looking for a commuter car. On high RPM shifts the fake noise wasn’t keeping up with what the engine was actually doing, so the fake engine noise was still mimicking 6K when I was already completing my shift. Super...

My neighbor just got a 2019 delivered to his house last week, seems fine so far. He got it for about $10K off out of Illinois.

Someone actually patched a 1” slit? They must want to get sued when it fails and you wreck the truck. The industry standard is to not repair anything over 1/4” and not within 1” of the shoulders. Different companies recommend only a certain number of repairs or position of repairs. Some of...

Seems like a technology that OEM’s could add in the future if it was adopted in all 50 states. I couldn’t see paying for it voluntarily. If the DMV has access to any GPS from it they could start using it for the per mile billing of road taxes like they keep proposing.

I hit 106 on a very empty and flat stretch of rural highway while breaking in the Raptor, it felt pretty stable and not unsafe at that speed but I know how catastrophic a blowout would be so I probably won’t do it again. I hit 90ish a couple times this morning passing trucks on a rural 2 lane...

I’m going 10/12 (driving day).

I’ve been looking at the Tuffy because they seem to be the only ones that make one for the Super Cab. I haven’t looked at the other options that might be available for the Crew. I can highly recommend the E&G console safe from @Nick@Apollo-Optics for the center console pistol safe.

I’m more concerned about all the states in between AZ and MA I’ll be driving through.

I was on I-17 between probably Camelback and McDowell in Phoenix, not up in Flagstaff. I have seen a few other ones around though.

Someone chose to inject politics and ruined it, then tagged the mods to get it closed when they were losing the argument :angry94: I was looking at options for protecting it, probably the Amsoil spray. I can't see having the truck and not using it on Nauset and Race Point. I've got another...

I’m moving to Cape Cod in a month.

You certainly don’t win any spelling bees, maybe you’re him post accident?

I’m competent but haven’t been doing much off-roading the past 8 years or so. I put a 6 for myself. When I was wheeling all the time I would’ve gone 8-9 but those skills have atrophied some.

Might I have seen you on I-17 on Sunday? If not you it was another Terrain Gen 1 with graphics. I was driving my Touareg with a trailer, not my Raptor.

I just signed up for 10/11-10/12, so really just the 10/12 driving day.

Everything from Rigid I've used is the older Made in USA production, none of the new Hencho en Mexico products they are shipping for the past couple years. The newer Radiance products seem to be designed to a budget compared to their legacy line of products, hence the cheaper construction.

I’m disappointed that Rigid cheaped out like this.

In one attempted theft it seemed that the owner left the truck open but unattended while he went inside, I don’t know where the fob was or if it was a trim with a standard key and the key was inside. Many Raptors use a standard key instead of a fob. I know some people who just leave the fob in...

I’ve seen some on Craigslist for $1K recently in Albuquerque, $1250 in Phoenix.

If you want your truck stolen or confiscated then you should bring it. When I used to have to work on the US side in Nogales I usually wrote off my car when I parked it overnight at the hotel. Fortunately I never had an issue with my wife’s car, but I never drove my diesel truck down there...

There was just another thread about that rubber causing paint damage, but not as severe as yours.
