    Perch Mod Discussion

    I picked up 2013 about 10 days ago and after reading this thread, went out to check. Sure enough, there is no (outward) appearance that the front shocks can be adjusted. I then stood back and looked at the truck's "stance" and it looks level -- that is to say it is in the mid perch position.

    Anyone else love the Factory SVT wheel?

    I dislike the '13 rims so much that I found brand new set of factory '11 rims to replace them with. Ford should have never gone away from the traditional "racing" style wheels from the first two model years.

    Clearwater Motorcycle Lights on a Raptor??

    Are they more expensive than many other auxiliary lights? Yes. But believe me when I say this: the attention to detail as it relates to the CNC-milled housing and wiring harness is absolutely first rate. There's a reason why most long-distance motorcycle riders have been installing them on...

    Mobile Apps

    I have an iPhone and after a lot of trial and error trying to get the Bluetooth sync'd with my motorcycle communication system, finally figured it out. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but here's what I had to do: with the iPhone off, I first turn on the helmet comm, then the bike...

    Caring for Blue Accent Seats

    Too late to change my order (build day is next week on May 21...YAHOOOOOO!). Even so, I really like the blue accidents and was simply trying to find out if anyone had problems so I could avoid problems.

    The One and Only 2013 Order status thread

    I placed my order on March 8, received my VIN or May 3 and just found out (by calling SVT) that my build day in May 21. I should get my window sticker later this week. Yahoooooo!

    How Long Did It Take to Ship Your Raptor?

    Placed my order on March 8 and just found out the build date will be May 21. So I guess I'm looking at mid-June before I get mine.

    Caring for Blue Accent Seats

    Fletch, I do have a seat cover on order for this reason. Thanks. But if I had the black cloth inserts, i'd be a lot less concerned when it came time to cleaning/conditioning the seats in the event some Lexol made its way from the rag onto the blue fabric -- the black won't show the "spot"...

    Caring for Blue Accent Seats

    That reminds me of the scene from Pulp Fiction when Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta have to clean out the inside of their car due to an accidental discharge. Back to the matter at hand, I guess I should assume by the lack of responses to my question that keeping the blue clean isn't an...

    Caring for Blue Accent Seats

    Thanks for the explanation...clearly I haven't seen it in person. ;-) With THAT said, what's the best way to clean the blue fabric?

    If not leather, what is the blue made of?

    Caring for Blue Accent Seats

    I'm about a month away from getting my truck, which I ordered with the blue accent option. I hesitated getting this package because I was concerned that the blue in the seats would soil easily and sooner than the rest of the leather, but I did it anyway since I never heard about any problems...

    2010/11 OE Wheels on 2013 Tux Black Screw

    The majority of owners appear to be going to the aftermarket. Having done some research, they are doing it solely for the sake of appearance (which is what I'm probably going to do) and not for performance since many -- if not most -- of the aftermarket wheels weigh more than the SVT stock wheels.

    2010/11 OE Wheels on 2013 Tux Black Screw

    Am I the only one who genuinely likes the OE wheeels that came on the 2010 and 2011 Raptors? I happen to think they look great ... as if Ford was trying to replicate the Mustang racing wheels from days gone by. My 2013 Screw isn't scheduled to arrive until June but I'm seriously considering...
