    Would you buy?

    2 years (next week) and 20,000+ on my 2018 SCREW, and I love every minute I'm driving it. No major issues, but had Sync3 issue that involved update and, then, R&R of part. Missed my baby while she was in the shop, but very happy.

    2019 Need to knows before signing the papers

    Gotta be honest, I'm used to having the back end skip a little bit; but, it's nothing compared to other pickup trucks ... hell, my 95 Mustang GT used to JUMP when it hit a bump in the corner. You will notice - if you are new to pickup trucks - that the back end may slide in the rain if (i) you...

    2019 Need to knows before signing the papers

    Upon reading the original post, the first thing that immediately came to mind was that Ford ships the trucks with the tires aired up to 45 to 50 psi. The dealer did not lower these. After driving around a week or two and wondering why my back end was so bouncy, I got on this forum and found that...

    The Raptor Wave

    Of course! It's silly, but we are a fraternity of sorts of individuals who have a shared interest in a fun vehicle. Down here, you'll get the two-finger Texas wave from the steering wheel.

    BD's OnX6+ Lower Grille LED Kit Question

    and yet, the picture doesn't do it justice. I guess the headlights are brighter than I thought: I can still see them despite looking into the sun. :)

    Crikey. You may have a problem (says pot to kettle). ;)

    BD's OnX6+ Lower Grille LED Kit Question

    It'd be like looking into the sun. I (only) have 3 pair of BD Squadron Sports and I thought that got the job done. :)

    BD's OnX6+ Lower Grille LED Kit Question

    I don't know: do you have enough light? I mean, the OnX6 is only 11,000 plus lumens; the Squadron Sports (assuming they are ONLY Sports) are approximately 6300 lumen/pair (12,600 lumen), and the S2 Sports are only 2300 lumen/pair (4800 lumen/pair if they're pros). Since the OEM lights (only)...

    BD's OnX6+ Lower Grille LED Kit Question

    Thank you. Since getting the BD Squadrons, I've realized (1) I made the right choice of light, (2) they do a phenomenal job in near-to-mid range, and (3) if I really want to improve long-distance down range (thinking: high beam plus plus) lighting, I'm going to have to mount them high up (like...

    BD's OnX6+ Lower Grille LED Kit Question

    So to those of you who have OnX6 as well as BD squadron sports, is it worth it? I already have three pairs of Squadron sports (spot, driving combo, & wide cornering) in the fog light pockets. I can't use those on street due to light output already, so is there something beyond 'more is better'...

    Just got my 2019 Raptor

    Now, if only FordRaptorLights.com (a/k/a Off Road Alliance) would offer complimentary BD S8 bars with every purchase, referral and/or recommendation! :)

    Just got my 2019 Raptor

    Sweet-looking ride. There are many postings on this, but I went with Baja Designs Squadrons (3 pair) after about a year of looking. OffRoad Alliance (a/k/a FordRaptorLights.com) offers excellent (patient) service before and after the sale, they helped with installation questions, and prices met...

    Offroad Alliance Fog Light Kits

    Never one to rush, I was picking through the website for FordRaptorLights.com (a/k/a OffRoad Alliance) and found this ↑↑↑ bracket buried near the bottom of the web page offerings (3 pairs for 2017-18 Raptors). From there, paired up the BD Squadrons. While it doesn't look as polished as their...

    Offroad Alliance Fog Light Kits

    Sweet looking truck. Surely I can't be the only one who put three BD Squadrons up front in the pockets? I guess I'm going to have take a picture to show how that install went, but suffice to say the light output is stout. If I was going to do it again, I'd trade the BD Squadron Spots out for...

    7 weeks later ... what would you do?

    I ordered a 2017 in February 2017, only to have Ford stop production in May. My order finally arrived as a 2018 in August 2017. Clearly, eh Six month wait. Was it aggravating? Absolutely. Have I love the hell out of the car for the last 2 years? Giddy like a child every time I drive it. It was...

    GEN 2 Single vs Dual catch cans

    Please forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of a catch can?

    Anyone in Dallas?

    WRT buying from dealer: I was able to use buying (really, pricing) service (through USAA) and participating dealers to get their agreed-upon price. From there, it was just a matter of getting dealers to "beat" the competitors - remember, closer to end of month is better - and I was able to...

    Anyone in Dallas?

    I'm here in Dallas. This is the stormy season and hail is more common than would be reasonably liked. Is it in Dallas, or one of the northern suburbs (e.g., Richardson, Plano, Friso, Allen, McKinney)? While I'm not a mechanic, I may be able to look it over - take more pictures - and compare it...

    Sync 3 (Radio + Nav) Freezing, Lagging and acting lobotomized

    That's the frustrating part: new equipment is in my future AGAIN as they replaced the "brain" already the first time in March (e.g., 40 days ago). :( In reviewing the service records, I realized they have not actually replaced the brain yet, merely given a software reboot. Here's hoping.

    Sync 3 (Radio + Nav) Freezing, Lagging and acting lobotomized

    I drove two hours on an interstate today. According to my Nav Screen, I was doing donuts for over an hour in cemetery back in Dallas...120 miles north of where I was. It's been lobotomized.

    Sync 3 (Radio + Nav) Freezing, Lagging and acting lobotomized

    Thank you for the suggested tactic for soft reboot (i actually figured that out about a year ago - the first time it froze - and it didn't need it again until January). But that beats no radio and frozen map! :)

    Sync 3 (Radio + Nav) Freezing, Lagging and acting lobotomized

    I have 2018 Raptor with Sync 3. For the first 1+ year, everything worked flawlessly. But recently, Sync 3 is lagging (3-20 seconds between touching touch screen and/or using voice recognition) and freezing. Its brain was replaced last month, and it's doing it again (the lagging/freezing is...
