In perusing the forums Ford may not offer Sync updates (which also adds software for the camera) for older trucks. Try navigating settings to software update, when connected to a nearby WiFi. I think the current version is 3.4, if your head unit can run that version. If not, check with your...

I had a similar problem with my 2020 both prior to and after the recall. When I first had it "partially fixed" they replaced one of the cameras and then recalibrated. It worked most of the time but was still intermittent. Then I brought it in for the recall. Except a couple glitches it has been...

Yup. That's what I was guided to after I attempted to level my '17 F-150 with a 2.25 puck. I chose poorly where the shop said they had done this several times. I should have stepped up and done springs, not just pucks as it rendered the shocks ineffective because I had added height beyond the...

I started writing this and realize it's a bit long winded... I'm still a rookie, but I'll share a few thoughts. Tires are really a matter of where your priorities are. On my previous F-150 I added larger wheels and tires. I wanted something quiet on the freeway but with good sidewall support...

I'm in the East Bay. Did a trip to Hungry Valley off the grapevine this weekend. First true test of the truck and it blew me away. I thought a couple times I was going to break it when the whoops looked shallower than I thought. We did a couple night trips while there. I also did the Off-road...

I had several problems early on with my 2020. Additionally, the camera worked 10% of the time. I had the camera replaced, then the recall replaced the front camera and I haven't had issues with CarPlay or the cameras since. Make sure you're on the latest Sync firmware. It's been shared on other...

I too am a fan of ORA. I wanted something that looked like it was meant to be in that slot. I went with the Baja's. I did find that some of the thick washers were missing in the install kit so I had to improvise while I was in the middle of the installation. The wiring kit was great as well...

I reached out to Retrax to find out if the replacement XR Rails would work. At $419 it's not cheap but probably offers the best fitment option. I'm hoping that's the solution.

I have a RetraxPro MX bedcover on my Gen2, which does not offer the rack rails of the XR models. I'm looking at the Yakima Overhaul HD, Adjustable-Height Truck Bed Rack. I'm struggling to find an adapter kit that would allow me to use this rack, installed over my tonneau. The BACKRACK WIDE TOP...

Now that RAM is 'attempting' to compete with the Raptor, GM won't be far behind with some hobbled together concoction that cuts way too many corners.

I use a wheel dolly. It works great. The model I chose is the Sunex 1500-pound Hydraulic Wheel Dolly. $134.99 on Amazon. I switch between wider 20x10 wheels and the factory beadlock when off-roading. Between those and A Dewalt cordless impact wrench, the swap goes pretty quick.

Great video. When I was searching in 2020, I found a few key differences between the 2019 package options and the 2020. I kept the spreadsheet of the different SCREWs I was considering. Key to that was the 2019s had the separate Raptor Technology Package, which included Adaptive Cruise Control...

I have found over the years that the 10-speed transmission does a good job of choosing the right gear. Often this is done by shifting over the in-between gears. It would drive me crazy if it shifted through every gear instead of choosing the right one, even with normal driving. For me...

I bought a set and they're great. I haven't done a lot of off-roading yet to test their durability but it's not a concern so far. I leave an axe, shovel and traction boards mounted to them. The shovel and boards came in handy for someone else almost immediately. Ford should acquire built-right...

I have used my Retrax since 2015 on three different F-150s. The benefits include it can be set to any locking point so that items can be "pinched" with the tailgate closed. It's very handy for plywood or 2x4s. Many bed covers do not offer the ability to lock at any point. The actual keyed lock...

Correct. Ford does not offer wireless CarPlay or Android Auto with Sync 3. Sync 4 will have it as an option. The two USB ports in your dash should provide CarPlay and Android Auto when you plug the devices in. You have to agree on the Sync screen and also approve access from your iPhone/Android...

Welcome! As a new Raptor owner you'll get invited to the Raptor Assault Ford Performance event in Toole, UT. As a newb it'll help you realize your money was well spent. Invite should arrive in about a month and you have a year to book your travel/hotel to enjoy the experience. Event is...

We have a rental trailer we host on Outdoorsy that requires a 2 5/16 ball size. We provide this adjustable hitch to the renter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XK3IWL8/?tag=fordraptorforum-20 Note that the F-150/Raptor is a 2-inch receiver. This Fastway hitch can adjust both up or down 8-inches...

I have a gradual curve in a 50mph zone on a street near my house. It has a pavement bump near the end of it. As I was researching Deavers on these forums, I read several references to the elimination of the hop and immediately thought of that curve. Upon returning home the day of the install, I...

Thanks Gerald. That's helpful. Much appreciated!

I'm running 305s on 20's pulled from my previous F-150, hence the reason stock is lower than the OEM 315 KO2s. I swap 'em out with OEM when I'm pushing it off-road. The stock blocks were removed. I'm ok with it not being level now. Perhaps Eibachs or Geysers in the front later. I'll try to jack...

For those of you who have Deaver's I'm curious about your install. I read the back and forth on the forum about Deavers vs. Icons. I decided to go with Deavers to eliminate the hop, provide better off-road and to assist with reducing sag when towing on my 2020 SCREW. The shop I called, listed as...

I did the Raptor Assault this past week. They mount their CBs in the center console (arm rest) against one the wall of the console on the passenger side. Then the mic/speaker is rested in the center console under the radio with the coil cable drive through the opening in the console. Inside the...

Sorry for the delay, I picked mine up at Napa Ford in April. The Ford Performance Blue trucks are in limited supply but I did also find the same truck at Walnut Creek Ford at about $2000 off MSRP in April. I also reached out to the Ford Store Morgan Hill. They didn’t have what I wanted (willing...

I picked up my 2020 in NorCal in April. I looked at several 2019s in SoCal. As I searched I learned that the window sticker has the original destination. I saw a couple 19s that were originally built for NY but new on the lot down south and almost made the drive. Gas and hotel didn't make the...
