Interesting, I arrived at 38F / 35R myself for all around driving with the original tires. With the 10 ply Load Range E tires I am down to 36F / 33R, and may try lower yet. To the OP, I have owned many trucks over the years, and several of them have shown the same kick out tendencies...

I live off pavement all the time, but it is a pretty tame dirt road to the house. And yeah, lower pressures are better, for sure. My TPMS do show pressures under 30 PSI, I have seen indications as low as 12 PSI on them. The trigger point for the truck is around 30 or 32 PSI though, so...

I don't think any stock Raptor size BFG Ko2's are either DT or come with a 50k mile warranty. It appears the DT / 50k Ko2's are in slightly smaller sizes. T!

What size tires are those? Why I ask; The original Gen 2 Raptor tire size is 315/70/17. BFG makes two Ko2 tires in that size, part number 58424, 315/70R17 113/110S, load range C, and part number 08806, 315/70R17 121/118S, load range E. The load range C tire, part number 58424, is the...

Exactly why I specifically got mine without sunroof. Mine is loaded, but no sunroof, and I did that because I intended to put a lot of off road miles on the truck. I was a bit worried about two things, vibration from washboarded roads and hail damage. A dented roof is a problem and ugly, but...

I am quite pleased with my "little" 3.5HO Raptor, plenty of horses and torque, with fair (if it matters) mileage. So not really a v-8 fanboi, but not opposed to the idea, either. I thought that in late March / early April the fact a limited edition Raptor would be coming from Ford, in late...

Very early 3/2018 build, 2018 SCREW, 802A/Tech/no sunroof. Picked it up with 21 miles on it. Now (14 months of driving) has 29k+ on it. Several thousand of those miles are off road. Zero problems so far, it is my wifes favorite out of town vehicle. I love everything about this truck, except...

Yes, if you have a one piece box, no remote head, the locations to mount get limited. But with a control head radio (separate small control head from the rest of the radio) it gets easier. I originally had a radio mounted similar to RaptorGuyNC. The control head of the VHF/UHF (2 meter / 70...

I assume you mean my post. The scanner is a Uniden BCD536HP. However you cannot see the scanner in the pictures I posted, the scanner is mounted out of sight in the center console. What you can see in my pictures is an older Android phone. This phone has no sim card in it, but the WiFi still...

I am using the Uniden R3, although I will probably end up getting the R7. The R3 has excellent sensitivity and decent BSM filtering. The R3 installed over the mirror: The home made mount I built for it, and the permanent power installed. In this case the power comes from the AUX 6...

It was pretty easy, although thin hands help. Straight through either the grommet at the front of the bed or the access hole at the front bed stake pocket, and then into the back of the cab via the pressure release vent behind the rear seat. Can be a pain to get to those spots, but nice...

I did all three of my VHF/UHF antennas on a power lay-down light bar. My HF antenna is not fixed, and cannot be layed down, but the whip is on a quick disconnect, it takes about 5 seconds to take the whip off. By the way, I ran my coax's all in via the pressure release vent behind the rear...

2018 Supercrew, April 2018 purchase, ~24000 miles, I have a little less tread left on the original tires than what is in those pictures. The truck has several thousand off-road miles on it. I rotate the tires every 6000 to 8000 miles, every other oil change (yes, I try to change the oil about...

It depends on what parts you include. For example, I added the Go-Rhino light bar stuff just for antennas, so I suppose I would have to include that in the cost. Plus, I had all of the radios and antennas on hand before I owned the Raptor, so I did not buy any radio specifically for this...

I think it has been posted a few times, but here is a link to one description of how to do it. https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/2018-screw-long-distance-trip-report-with-mpg.63372/#post-1289350 Also, the results of my adjustments in ETM are there. Now my Indicated MPG and my calculated...

And that is what started this thread. Some trucks had the lit indicators, and some did not. The first few people who noticed this were convinced Ford had made a mistake on the assembly line and left their lights of by accident. Even some dealers did not know Ford had done it on purpose. The...

Similar opinions (gear shift numbers should be on the console) have been expressed by other in this thread, and to each his own. However.... Having the letters light up near the gear shift is a very traditional approach, I have had many vehicles over the years with this feature. It provides...

My very early March 2018 build 802A / Tech Package SCREW has the USB accents that light up. But the PRNDM does not light up, there are NOT clips under the console to mount the LED strips to, and I could not find an empty plug that might power such LEDs. T!

If you are referring to my post and pictures, there is no installation behind or near a windshield antenna. My radar detector is installed behind the factory windshield tint strip / perforated shade. There is no antenna in this area on my 2018 SCREW. The perforated tint should interfere...

Yeah, I really like the R3. Excellent range, very low (one of the lowest in the industry) false alert rate, moderate cost. What is not to like? I want arrows, and that is coming on the R7. My V1 has arrows, but not the sensitivity of the R3 and the V1 falses more. I have to run K band on...

I don’t claim to know how Ford specifically does it in the Raptor, but under boost may not be the only time a motor can benefit from increased octane. Modern adaptive valve trains, spark, etc, can also better match performance curves. I have not done extensive testing in my Raptor, I have...

I built a tire mount at the front of the bed. So one tire under bed, one in bed. However, I am probably ordering a dual in bed mount in the near future. T!

I rotate my tires every other oil change, I change oil every 3000 - 3500 miles, so tires get rotated every 6000 - 7000 miles, the truck has 22k+ on it so three past rotations closing in on fourth. I have never taught the vehicle where a tire is, the truck has always figured it out for itself...

More than just A and B will set off the factory alarm. I started to jack the truck (2018 SCREW 802A / tech) up with a floor jack to do a tire rotation one day and had not yet unlocked / unarmed the vehicle, about the time the left rear tire came off the ground the alarm went off. So there is...

I think you are asking yourself the wrong question. Does it matter if you are "using the truck for what it was built for"? As long as you are happy, enjoy the vehicle, and it does what you need, does it matter what it was built for? The right question, to me, is "would another vehicle make...
