I needed fifth wheel towing and ordered an F-350 Tremor in March. It arrived in October. I found out during the delay that the spray-in bed liner and the fifth wheel package were the two delayed items. The bed liner was part of the Black Appearance Package, which I really wanted. It included...

I have a Retrax Pro on my Raptor and a BakFlip on my F-350 (short bed 6.75'). The Retrax was on my 2015 and 2017 F-150s. I upgraded to the Retrax Pro rails like @amREADY but kept the same bed cover mechanism when I picked up the Yakima rack last year. It saved me money using the cover but...

Make sure the state(s) you plan to drive in allow a bead lock setup on the road. Here in CA, it's not legal on surface streets. I've heard of Highway Patrols running down vehicles headed to the Pismo (Oceano) Dunes for running on the freeway. I'd probably do the rings myself but I'm too lazy to...

We needed the added towing of an F350 and picked up an Atlas Blue Tremor. These pictures show it next to a 2020 Ford Performance Blue Raptor. It's very difficult to tell what the color looks like for either Atlas or Antimatter until you see it in person. And, different light is a factor for...

We brought home a 2022 F-350 Tremor last night. Ordered it in March. Found out in July it was delayed due to the fifth wheel package and the spray in bed liner. I wanted the Black Appearance Package, but that included the bed liner and had to change to the Sport Package. We needed to tow our...

I think RAM built the truck they wanted to compete with the Raptor. Both RAM and Ford pull from the parts bin to build their trucks and then add some customization. Ford specifically built a stronger, wider frame and added specific suspension components so that the truck could do what it was...

I have never seen it work on any of my trucks for an hour. Usually it's only while the power is still active and I haven't opened a door. Seems to stay on for 15 minutes or so. Then it shuts off removing power from my devices. I would think this is a battery conservation. Perhaps you were...

I have had an odd problem on a couple occasions with my old F-150 and my wife's Expedition where when I disconnected the trailer, for some reason the system thought it was still connected. At each vehicle startup, it would jump to the trailer screen. In both vehicles, I found if I reconnected...

I upgraded my Retrax rails to the XP Pro this year so that I could integrate the Yakima Rack. This is the third F-150 I have migrated the Retrax setup on. I really like it because it's a clean look with the rack and can be closed to any position, depending on what's in the bed. The rack I...

I reached out to the Built Right customer service. This was their response, "The 60lbs jack is nearing the recommended weight limit but using the 3 Ton Pro Eagle Jack mount is a very solid mounting solution and will be your best bet." I agree that off-roading would likely put too much stress on...

Yeah. I figured 60 lbs on the Built Right equipment would be a bit much. However, I did find this image linked from the Built Right site.

I have the Built Right System setup for my bedside walls. I’m looking to get a Pro Eagle 3 Ton Jack. Has anyone successfully mounted it to the bedside with this setup? If so, what hardware did you use to mount it? Also, should I opt for the 15-inch Pro Eagle extension? Or, is the stock extension...

The first time I washed the truck I was concerned the step stool was going to tilt and really piss me off when I caused the dent, not caused by an off-road mishap, which is somehow ok. Offroad mishaps are partly ok because of the smile on my face when I was doing something at the limit in my...

I think I saw this recommendation elsewhere on the forum when I picked up my Raptor. The “Gorrila Aluminum Heavy-Duty Adjustable-Height PRO Slim-Fold Work Platform, 375 lbs. Load Capacity” platform has been perfect for washing and drying. I can also get all the water out of the hood vents when...

This will be controversial with the group but I have 20”x10” Fuel wheels from my previous F-150 with 305 K02s on them. But only for on-road periods of time. The tires are smaller than stock and the speedometer is slightly off. If I went up to 315s they would rub, because of the offset and the...

@jeanco, that is some great info. Thank you for sharing. I have a 2020 Raptor. I was fortunate to get it when dealers thought they weren’t going to be able to sell them, under MSRP. Fast forward to March, 2021, I needed an F-350 for towing. We ordered it in March. A friend at Ford said last week...

I have the factory spray in on my 2020. On my previous three F-150s I did Rhinolinings and was really happy with it. The factory is decent but, like has been stated, they don't take anything off to spray the bed. When I went to install my Built Right Bedside Rack System I had to use a razor to...

We did Oceano Beach recently (Pismo in CA) and got lazy not airing down. We quickly got stuck in the sand. Then I aired down to 24-25 at each tire and easily drove around the rest of the way and then pulled two stuck vehicles out of the sand. You'll definitely want to air down. I don't know that...

I have a 2020 as well and would say that's not normal. What does the dealer say the noise is coming from "in it's normal location". It could be a variety of things, like a loose spare, loose suspension, leaf springs rubbing, loose bed bolts or a number of other things.

When you say less than ALCON, are you stating they'll be less than $5000 for front and rear for a 6 piston caliper setup? Would it be 4-piston in the rear? Electronic e-brake integration is a must.

I recommend towing a small to medium trailer. You can get to a campsite that is reasonable, unhook and go in to town. It has a fridge that will keep food cold while running on propane for weeks at a time. It will have all your belongings: clothes, dishes a decent mattress, etc. and it will be...

I haven't done Death Valley yet but did do Hungry Valley off the Grapevine. I didn't have to air down at all. I left it in Sport Mode with traction control off to slide the rear end out. Lotso pin stripes on that trip. Just this weekend we did the Pismo Beach dunes. I was lazy and didn't air...

I've never towed a pontoon boat but do tow a variety of trailers. On our travel trailer at 6300 lbs dry with a 675lb hitch weight tows nicely with a weight distribution hitch. I recommend Andersen Hitches, but haven't used other brands. It's pretty stable even with high winds. Anything over 5000...

Congrats and welcome. I’m in the East Bay myself. Just got mine a year ago. COVID had closed a lot of parks at the time but I have enjoyed outings since. I recently tried the trails in Hollister. Gotta be careful as the bushes along the trails will decorate your truck with “pinstripes”. Our...

I tow with my 2020 Supercrew often. Supercrews are rated at around 8000 lbs., but, as pointed out earlier, you have to take in to account how your Raptor is optioned. 802a with a sunroof will be heavier and therefore reduce your overall weight carrying capability. You have to add up all the...
