    Pay for using an outhouse?

    Slightly off topic, but I don't know how you guys live there in IL. I flew into O Hair in June, cost me $10.00 in tolls to get out of your miserable state, another $7.00 n the way back so I could fly the hell out of there. And this is on top of what I assume to be the usual super high taxes you...

    Newbie - Considering leaving GM for a Raptor!

    Today four of us were on a run, we stopped at Cabella's & were parked in a group. I was walking towards the store when I heard a guy walking the other way say to his wife- Wow, look at all the Raptors. I have NEVER heard anyone say "Wow, look at all the GMC Sierras"..... Do it. Now.

    Potential buyer and can't get a test drive...

    No test drive=no sale in my world. That is the one thing about being old(er) that I like, people generally take you seriously. One thing I hold true in business is whoever is writing the check has the power. I do what is necessary to meet my customer's needs because they are writing the check...

    Newbie - Considering leaving GM for a Raptor!

    As already been said, this is not the time to look for a deal, what you find on the lot is what your gonna get. And the pickins get slimmer every day. Anyway, Ford has hit a home run with the Raptor. Its on the road manners are great, and off road is unparalleled by anything production. Take...

    Ford dealership rant!

    Well, if it was the O ring from the currently installed filter it would be accompanied by 1-7 quarts of oil. I am impressed by the clean skid plate, the first couple of oil changes left me with a skid plate dripping oil everywhere. Apparently, they did some "training" and now they make sure...

    Ford's ESP

    My understand is you can cancel & you will be refunded for the "unused" portion. Another factor is whoever writes the refund check might be required to send it to whoever financed your Raptor.

    Don't start with me.... A weeding? In So Cal? Maybe in CO.. OK, so maybe you can't spell....but you can't come up with anything better? VG has beat that into the ground. Besides, you will have all day Sat to make your way north.

    Newbie from Nevada

    OK, fine. All I am saying is I have bought three vehicles there and have not had any issues. I dont understand why you are screwing around for two weeks when the dealership is 30 miles away, just drive over there and settle the deal face to face.

    My Ford dealer has Raptors in stock

    Out here in NV the Ford Dealer in Carson City has two new Screws (dark red, black) and one used (13, white). Supposed to be getting one more in black. They have a mark up, but will talk, they wont go below MSRP. So...if your desperate....(at this point I think your stuck). Ask for Rick...

    Oil Pan drain bolt stripped...!

    Costs me $54.00 to get either truck serviced/ tires rotated. I always get hit for the additional oil and "hazmat".. either way, it's cheap insurance for me because there is no way Ford can deny warranty because the wrong oil was used... What is the Ford Owners Advantage rewards program?

    Future Raptor Engines?

    The Eco boost in an F150 isn't that much better than a 5L. I have an '11 F150 5L, my sales guy has an identical F-150 but it has an Eco boost. On the highway our MPG is within 1-2 MPG, he does get 2-3 better when driven just in town, so for me the additional complications of a turbo just isn't...

    Fuel cell and smog equipment questions

    I had to get my Raptor smoged today, so I asked the guy about this. From what said, NV doesn't care what the fuel is in, as long as the CEL isn't on, its assumed that the fuel system is intact & OK.

    Fuel cell and smog equipment questions

    I haven't had a smog guy look at much of anything. If the CEL isn't on, they just plug in and run the test. But, this is up here in Washoe county, Clark county might be different.

    2015 F-150 Prototype Convoy through YNP

    They took a picture of your truck to get your license plate so they can run it & void your warranty. Actually, cool catch. Sometimes I think they do stuff like this to stir up interest & keep us guessing.

    Colorado Dealer sold order out from under me...

    Ford needs to get their dealer network in line. Stories like this are becoming all to common. This sort of thing coupled with poor warranty service is going to hurt Ford in the long run.

    Hill Descent Mode

    And at the bottom of the hill- if it's a long one, your brakes will be freaking hot. But when it's needed, it works great.
