    No New Raptor, Then Build This

    I have been in several threads that took a political turn and no comment was made. In fact, Gordo, who "liked" the comment above, was involved in it. Funny that it is only called out when the political stance is in opposition of your beliefs... LAME! And, his comment was related to the thread...

    Hot off the presses

    Gen 2 is more than a "city vehicle, casual off roading, and camping." You do realize that they ran a 2017 gen 2 in the Baja 1000 and if finished in regulation time, without issues. Then they drove it back to Arizona, not on a trailer. I run mine in Baja many times a year. In fact I just got...

    Hot off the presses

    You do realize that the HO twin turbo V6 has more horses, more torque, and lighter because of it. My good friend has both gen 1 and gen 2. He was dead set on not buying a gen 2 until the V8 returned. DEAD SET. However, after riding in my gen 2 he quickly realized that the sound was the ONLY...

    New symbol on Navigation

    I drove the highway that shows that symbol again yesterday that I was referring to in an earlier post. At least in California, that symbol represents where the Fast Track scanners are on the road and where the pay booths are on toll highways. I was able to verify this multiple times as there...

    My truck in shop and dealer isn't giving me loaner. Options?

    I know those places well! I was a principal for four years at West Orange Elementary in Orange Unified before moving back to San Diego. My wife is a Speech and Language Pathologist for an elementary school. If you ever want to do a baja run, let me know. I go about 20 times per year. I have...

    Fordpass Rewards: 0 points?

    Thanks Troy! That is great to know! I have the ESP so I was thinking that my points would only work for something I already paid for. Did you purchase through the dealership?

    New symbol on Navigation

    Will do! I am watching this thread and receiving email notifications for it so I don't forget about it. The highway that I am driving is between Tijuana and San Diego. I have a vacation beach house in Baja and have taken the Raptor there four times since owning it. The first three times I...

    New symbol on Navigation

    I have to ask, is that carbon fiber piece around your screen stock or aftermarket? I have a 2020 with the carbon fiber package it is does not have that piece in carbon fiber.

    New symbol on Navigation

    I saw that on a toll highway last weekend. I was wondering what it was, but since my truck is only a few months old, I didn't think about it. Are you sure it wasn't on a toll highway? I am going on the same highway in a week and a half and will be sure to see if it only pops up then. I...

    Raptor Assault Jul 28 20

    I am going on the 22nd. I originally booked at the Comfort Inn with the RA discount. However, I read one of the RA threads last week where someone posted a great summary of the experience, along with recommendations. He rated in order three hotels. Of course, it is based on what you plan to...

    GEN 2 Is it me or are prices crazy

    I got it from Penske Ford in La Mesa, Ca. I got it for a bit over a grand over invoice (75k MSRP, 69+K invoice and I got it for 71k. I got mine for about 4k under MSRP. So, my point to the group was that Gordo's comment that going out of state to purchase would save "$20,000 on an $80,000...

    GEN 2 Is it me or are prices crazy

    Uhh, I knew that and it does make sense to me. When I was looking to see if there was a big financial difference to purchase out of state, savings on tax turned out to be the only factor that would make it feasible. which is why "tax" and "register" are in the same sentence. The Department of...

    Tom, your truck looks great! Do you add Eibach springs in front?

    GEN 2 Is it me or are prices crazy

    Those numbers are off... A $75,000 2020 Raptor invoices for a bit over $69,000, unless the GM is blowing somebody at the Ford Mothership. IF you can get a 2020 Raptor out of state with an MSRP of $75,000 for $67,000, then it would be marginally beneficial, but I probably wouldn't do it. I got...

    GEN 2 Is it me or are prices crazy

    I looked into buying out of state, but in order to register it in CA, they hit you with the sales tax. After transportation costs, it really didn't make much sense to do it. Plus, now I have a better relationship with the dealer that I purchased the truck from, rather than if I had purchased...
