    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    Wow. Crazy! I know I drive "spiritedly" but I must be driving with more spirit than I though. I'm getting half what some people are reporting. Wondering if some batches are better than others or if driving style can really cause a swing from low 20k to low 50k on KO2s.

    BFG KO2 Tread Life Warranty Claim

    I love the stock KO2s, but my mileage experience on my first set was similar. I replaced them at 4/32 with 22,500 miles on them. I didn't think much of it... I had an Xterra which I ran Wrangler Duratracs on. I'd get about 28k from a set. I just assume I'm going to get 20-30k from a set of...

    Sync 3 Update

    Can someone clear this up for me... I checked and I'm on 3.0. I turned on automatic updates and connected to WiFi. It says it checked but hasn't even updated to 3.3. Do I have to do this another way?

    Switching from car play back to regular screen

    I read your comment and thought "fair enough I haven't tried Waze with it, maybe I should." The app seems fine for navigation but it doesn't display speed limit unless you're navigating somewhere and it doesn't have the button to tag a location with an accident or cop. Am I missing something? I...

    GEN 2 Top 15 Tonneau Covers - which do you have?

    Ford OEM. I like it a lot. It's solid and looks good. Price wasn't that much more than similar models and I could roll it into the loan.

    Appreciative New Owner

    Congrats! I'm pissed Ford brought Lead Foot back for 2020 (that is Lead Foot right? It's a weird color in picures). I was excited that mine was going to be a 2018 exclusive color to boost value when I get the next one. No such luck. Raptor Assault is fun. When you do the dirt handling course...

    1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton? WTF?

    You're right that 500lbs isn't that much. I think it's just something we have to accept with the Raptor that for Ford to set up the suspension for the truck's purpose, not for hauling. I have a trailer for if I need to move more than a couple-few hundred pounds. If I were going to move 500+lbs...

    2020 Raptor Assault

    It's free if you bought a Raptor new within the last year. Your VIN is your ticket to Raptor Assault and you just need to get yourself to Salt Lake City and put yourself up. If you didn't buy a new Raptor in the last year, you can't go. There's no way to pay your way in.

    2020 Raptor Assault

    I recommend March if it's available. I did it March 1st 2019 and we were the first class in the new 2019 trucks. It was dry on the facility course but snowy and muddy in the mountains where they took us. The instructors commented it was some of the more challenging conditions they see all year...

    How to turn off adaptive cruise control

    Sounds like your radar is malfunctioning. I'm pretty sure the correct solution is to take it in to be fixed under warranty. I wouldn't just disable the feature and call it a day.

    1/2 ton, 3/4 ton, 1 ton? WTF?

    I don't get it... The Raptor is a performance vehicle that has some utility. Why did you buy a Raptor if hauling is a big deal to you? Obviously if the Raptor could haul better you'd be sacrificing ride and off road performance, which are the point of the truck. I don't understand how people buy...

    Switching from car play back to regular screen

    Can't stand CarPlay. It would be fine if it could blend with the factory system but it doesn't. I want outside temp and I really want the factory nav. Not a fan of how the CarPlay nav integration works.

    Leveling kit

    Reviving this... Also curious what leveling does to the ride. I like the leveled look but don't want to deviate at all from stock ride and performance.

    Do you prefer lifted or stock Gen2 Raptor?

    I figure Ford spent millions on R&D, with suspension being a major part of what makes it a Raptor. I like the leveled look but I'm on the fence about even doing that because I don't want to deviate from stock ride and suspension performance.

    To Decal or to Not Decal

    I think the bed graphics are gawdy. I want people to notice my Raptor and the types of people who will notice it know what it is without a cheap looking sticker. If I were buying another Raptor I'd get the hood graphics next time. I didn't and I like them now that I've seen them in person.

    Aftermarket Intake and Exhaust?

    Sorry, only a startup sound video from the summer when the difference isn't that noticeable. The difference is significant on cold start and on throttle, but the tone isn't raspy. A friends has a Jeep Trackhawk and always commented he thought my truck sounded a bit wimpy. After doing the...

    Quirks or issues?

    #2 is a common issue. Definitely more pronounced when wet. Avoid grabbing the handle with a full hand. Slide your fingers in and make deliberate contact with the back side of the handle. It will unlock more reliably the first time, then you can grab and pull.

    Aftermarket Intake and Exhaust?

    I just did the Corsa resonator delete. It gave it a good bit more audible grunt but isn't overkill. Haven't done an intake because I keep reading they barely add sound. Neither exhaust nor intake will add any power. If you want power you need a tune (potentially with supporting hardware). Ford...

    Raptor fishtail over small bumps

    It's normal. I kind of like it but I'm weird like that. I've seen lots of people say to drop a few PSI in the rear and it largely resolves it. The instructor at Raptor Assault even recommended this for on-road.

    How to spend $5k on new Raptor

    Exhaust ($460). I did the Corsa resonator delete which gives it more throat without making it raspy. Tune ($1000). Different people like different stuff. I like COBB's ECM and TCM tunes because it's an easy off-the-shelf way to go from a well established company. Other solutions may give you...

    GEN 2 How do I lock doors without setting off alarm?

    Switching to perimeter sensing is probably the most correct answer. If I'm just running in to a store for a couple minutes I usually get out, lock it, then remote start it. When remote started the internal sensors are disabled. Also with the truck running the odds are lower that some vegan will...

    Heated Steering Wheel

    Mine gets pretty warm but not the too hot to touch that people are describing. I just wish Ford put a physical button somewhere for the heated wheel. I'm always on the nav screen and it's annoying having to go into climate to turn it on.

    Heated Steering Wheel

    I've noticed they do come on but they seem to do it in "limp mode" for lack of a better term. The seat usually doesn't seem like the heater was actually on before hitting the start button, and the wheel will be warmer than the air but not as warm as it gets when fully on. Wish both would...

    Heated Steering Wheel

    I do experience the variability you describe. I think it heats up particularly hot, then dips down to a maintenance temp. I think at some interval it might heat back up again though, as it does seem a bit up and down sometimes.

    Ever Even Consider a Super Duty?

    HELL no. When I was initially shopping for my Raptor I had one dealership tell me they had lots of great deals on loaded Super Duties. I said "Dude, that's like me saying I'm looking at GT350s and you telling me you have a Focus ST for a good price. They're unrelated vehicles." The Raptor isn't...
