    With the price of TRx, why are folks paying ADM for raptors?

    Yeah I can't even find new trx on the interwebs but I'm sure you can go in and find out dealer allotments and adm. Here I have yet to see a new trx for under 115k

    With the price of TRx, why are folks paying ADM for raptors?

    Don't know why you think the trx is selling under msrp and it really depends on what options are on it. My coworker managed to get one but is paying over 100k for hers. I think msrp is $69k-$94k

    True 37 spare options on 35 truck?

    The 2 biggest differences between the 35 and 37 packages are the rear axel sway bar that has a bend to make clearance. Also the tow bar/hitch reciever is also bent to make clearance. Keep it dirty offroad has an excellent video showing the differences between both. Granted the truck he was...

    Dealer giving out my R?

    Blame lobbyist and dealership schemes. Ever wondered why we can't purchase directly from the manufacturer? It's because of them. Now unless you signed a document that specifically states your name with a specific vin on a specific price with promise of garentee then I'm afraid the dealer can do...

    Wouldn't it be awesome? 5.8L Raptor R

    Ahhh the 4.6 v8 was terrible... had to have a special tool just for this motor when changing out spark plugs. They were prone to breaking in half while trying to remove them and would usually require an extraction tool which I permanently bought. Ended up selling the vehicle a few years later...

    37 vs 35 Gen 3.

    Heres my opinion: depends on how bad you want the extra 2 inches. Theres a lot more that goes with the 37 inch package than just larger tires. Ford supplies all raptors with the 37 inch package with slightly larger shocks and a different tow crossbar to properly fit the larger tire under the...

    Aftermarket mods, will I recoup dollars spent?

    My response wont be about which mods to pick or get but rather your question on recouping the money spent on mods. Modding a vehicle will add value depending on the type and extent of mods. However, the first moment you mod a vehicle, the instant you should never sell to a broker or dealership...

    Just for fun: What kind of MPG are you getting?

    Unloaded highway driving I could avg around 17.5 and maybe higher if going downhill (I live in the mountains). Moderately loaded I'm getting closer to 15.5-16 mpg (tire rack, both spares, power tank and jack. No tools except for stock lug bar). I'm expecting to get more like 12 with a light...

    Questions- Help me build my raptor

    The only reason youd want fully loaded or a higher tier package is if you ever plan on selling the truck. Of course you will be paying for the higher tier. Just something to keep in mind. At the very least, get a front torsen diff.

    That's it...I'm out

    I've owned an 03 explorer, 05 mustang gt, 14 f150 supercab xlt 4x4, 16 mustang ecoboost, 17 mustang gt premium, 18 f150 raptor 802a, and a 2020 explorer platinum. I will always admit I'm a ford fanboy (even a stock holder) and I'll probably only own fords for the rest of my life. We are in...

    Tire PSI

    Higher will get you better milage but bumps in the road will feel more pronounced. I run mine at 40 on street but air down to around 26 off road. Power tank ftw

    8-Hrs Later!-Raptor VS Cat’s Claw, Bushes & Cedar Trees!!

    These trucks are not mountain trail friendly!!! My buddy and I went up old stage here in colorado. Everything is great until you get on those narrow trails which nature in turn gives you custom pinstripping. I ended up getting stuck in a rock garden and cause significant damage to my exhaust. Be...

    Ford Bronco Raptor vs. RAPTOR

    I'm hoping it's more rock crawling oriented than baja running. I got my raptor for my baja needs but I'm hoping the new bronco will be badass in rockcrawling in areas like moab. A true jeep competitor

    JLT Oil Seperator

    I swear people who praise catch cans have never ridden a scooter or cart with a 2 stroke engine. Man those were good times

    JLT Oil Seperator

    Heres my 2 cents on catch cans: waste of money. Yes it works as described as it does remove most oil (not all) in the recirculating tube or crankcase evap. Now what does this do to the engine? Absolutely nothing. These engines are completely fine burning a bit of oil in the intake. If I'm not...

    Front license plate bracket

    Mine was completely missing. Got my truck from canada so it came with the engine block heater. Definitely useful here in colorado. I had mine installed since we require a front plate here. The oem style bracket is actually pretty nice, remove plate while offroading for extra air flow. Havent had...

    Front license plate bracket

    Not sure about the new gen but the 2nd gens are riveted on (oem quick insert) carefully drill out the rivets and the whole bracket comes off clean.

    Opinions on taking your Gen 2 to instant valvoline oil change

    I trust no one with my oil changes. It's so easy to do on modern vehicles so I do them myself on all 3 vehicles. Too many horror stories about shops forgetting to fill oil or replacing with poor or used oil. To save myself the stress and possible headache, I do it myself. Also highly recommend...

    Aftermarket alarm?

    So I just had a visitor stop by last friday and I didnt like having unexpected visitors. My question to you guys, do you know any aftermarket alarm with suspension position sensors or something that works in similar fashion? Bottom line, I want the alarm to go off if someone tries to jump in the...

    Which model is the better off-roader?

    Running 37s is a very costly aftermarket option that I just dont see the justification in. The parts and replacement fenders really steer me away. I agree with most on here. 35s will definitely be faster unless you throw in a set of higher final drive gears. This truck is plenty capable for what...

    Anyone worried about the gearing of the 37s?

    With the 10 speed auto and a powerful engine, itll be fine. The only real advantage now for a higher ratio is more torque at a dead stop, i.e. rock crawling. These trucks werent built for crawling on rocks like jeeps because of the lack of ground clearance and size of the vehicle. But with 37s...

    Colorado trail conditions

    I went down old stage a took a couple of offroad trails there. It was super fun but watch out for all the jeep owners here. Trails here are narrow but nothing the raptor cant fit through, at least all the trails I went on. Just watch your ground clearance and you should be fine. These raptors...
