    True 37 spare options on 35 truck?

    The 37 is about 2" taller, and only 1" of that is tire, so it must have ;-)

    True 37 spare options on 35 truck?

    Just went out and checked. .875" vs 1.0 on shock shafts.

    True 37 spare options on 35 truck?

    So I own both and just went out and looked. There appears to be enough room in the rear at the hitch, but the sway bar on the 35 does not have enough clearance. if you put a 37" tire under my 2022 35", it would definitely be against the sway bar.

    DRUM ROLL!!! HUGE New Product Announcement... 2021 Raptor Bumper 40", 50" Light Bar & 50" Universal Cross-mounts NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER for Gen 3

    Even harder to install. I don't like blocking so much of the cooling either. Is stolen lights a thing now? I never thought about that.

    DRUM ROLL!!! HUGE New Product Announcement... 2021 Raptor Bumper 40", 50" Light Bar & 50" Universal Cross-mounts NOW AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER for Gen 3

    I bought the bracket and universal bar. Looks like a better solution than behind the grill to me.

    35 vs 37 package

    I own both. I am speaking from experience, or seat of the pants, not out my ass like you. The loss of 1" of suspension is to keep the larger tires from jaming into the top of the wheel well. What is the mystery to you about that? If you think larger tires don't help off-road, then explain why...

    35 vs 37 package

    Ha Ha! You've never had one have you? I have a 2022 35" and a 2022 37"pp, and they are definitely different. The 37pp stock, is better off road than the 35" stock. Much softer feeling in the rough stuff, and a bigger foot print aired down. The only places the 35" are better is slightly better...

    Console Vault Thoughts?

    I like mine. Yeah the opening is smaller, but it's big enough. It's nice having a secure area. Also, there's a couple inches between the top of the safe and the armrest lid, with lots of room for a pistol or what ever.

    Difference in rear shocks?

    That would be a fun ride!

    My 2023 RaptorR order

    I honestly hope you get it. I hope everyone that really wants one gets one. I think supply will come up short of expectations, orders will get pushed out and go unfilled. I never did get my 37pp I ordered, and had to buy off the lot with an ADM. I want to be wrong on this, but I think there will...

    turning off all lights

    Had my dealer do a "Police Dark" as they called it, for my 2012 F350 for night hunting with NODs. Well worth the $109.....The OP is either a troll, or has a short circuit in his helmet.

    Odds submitted and confirmed R orders get allocation, hypothetical 2nd round of 2023 allocations/builds, pushed to 2024, or cancelled?

    I waited for and got a Bronco a year late. Others are still waiting from Day One orders. I put in an order for a Raptor 37pp over a year ago. Still no build date on that, BUT, I bought a 37pp for me, and a 35" 801a for the wife, both for $10k over. Which is about what MSRP will be for the 2023s...

    Tire replacement time...

    I run Falken 35" Wildpeak AT/3 load range E, on all our companies Superdutys. Best all around bad weather road AT tire made, IMO. So so, like all ATs off road, but aired down they do okay. Just too heavy for the Raptor I'm told, so we went with the 35" KO2s in load range "E" instead of load...

    Tire replacement time...

    The OEM "beadlocks" are just for looks, and should be taken off to change the tire, or you run the risk of having them scratched up, or get charged for their time to remove and replace them. Since they serve no purpose except looks, there's no reason you can't remove and re-install them yourself.

    Dealer giving out my R?

    Hire a lawyer to help you fight a car salesman. Does nobody see the irony of that snake fight? Want some more sad humor? Go back and read all the post of people that think they're getting a "R" at MSRP, $25k over, or at all! The production of "R"s will come up short, and with ADMs of most...

    22 raptor canceled. Out of luck?

    6) Pay an ADM and be driving one in a weak for sure, for what a 2023 will cost if you get one.

    Did you take the covers off? Was the ignition on?

    Estimated annual Raptor R Production rate

    Ha Ha! If they plan on making 3000 Raptor R trucks, expect about 492 to actually be made, and about 350 of those will be on chip holds. They can't build Broncos on Ranger frames to meet 20% of the orders for 2 years. You think there's a lot of post about people waiting on Raptors now? There are...

    Anybody else over the new Raptor R already?

    Love both our 2022 Gen 3 Raptors. Mines a 37pp, and the wife has a 35 801a. Her's is getting the visual upgrades, color match, wheels & tires, ect. Mine has real beadlocks, 10 ply tires, chase lights, off road lights, extra spares, air compressor, ect, and is getting tuned. If I can get another...

    Ford Raptor R vs Ram TRX

    I think you'll be able to buy 2 TRXs for the price of 1 Raptor R with ADM. That said,I'm driving a 22 37pp, I'm still trying to get a Raptor R, but have a TRX ordered for $5k under MSRP. Gotta try. If the Raptor becomes a real opportunity, i'll sell or trade one of the other 2 trucks. if not...

    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    The only Raptor I've ever owned is the AMB fully loaded 37pp. I can't believe how it drives on and off road. The interior is so nice, and seats are so comfortable, it lacks nothing but a little more HP. Since I've never had a gen 2, it just looks like the old single woman at the bar to me. I...

    Premium Fuel

    Back to Fuel. I'm lucky that the one stoplight town I live in has 2 sources for reasonable priced 92 octane non-ethanol fuel.
