    People suck

    Ah, OK, so I can be a little dense.....either way, it sucks that your Raptor was damaged and I would be pissed beyond belief. How do you sleep at night? I sure couldn't if my Raptor was outside. I have a hell of time at hotels and such. My paranoia is well founded due to the following...

    People suck

    I would put it in my garage but both bays are full so it's Street parking for me till I can move out of this shithole city. The county i live in has the second highest crime rate in the state and I'm only a few blocks from the hood so it's only a matter of time till things get worse here. So it...

    People suck

    Sucks to hear about this, but these trucks are way to wide to park on the street. I couldn't sleep if mine was sitting street side. Time to determine how much the crap in your garage is worth. Is it worth putting it in a storage facility? if not, time to go to the dump..

    Whiteish slime

    I am going to offer a thin thread of hope. You have less mileage than I do, so that makes me wonder, is your Raptor driven enough? Lots of start it up, and only drive one or two miles wont allow the engine to reach operating temp & "boil off" any condensation in the engine oil. if this is the...

    Need advice

    Blue hits on a good point, you need to decide whether you haul or off road more. I had F-250's /350's for years, but once I got rid of all the race cars and such F150's have done the job for me. I agree, it is hard to give up the ability to hook up to any trailer and go, but having a truck that...

    Broken Windshield At Tint Shop - Advice?

    I don't think the shop has any responsibility, but you would think that they would have known that applying heat to a damaged windshield is a great way to cause a crack. Really, it probably would have cracked this winter once the defroster was turned on. If it was mine, assuming the crack isn't...

    Raptor or ecoboost?

    Go for the Raptor, it will probably end up costing less than the FX4. Back in 2010 I built an FX4 with as many of the goodies that came on the Raptor (obviously some things aren't available on the FX) & it cost more than the Raptor. Plus the resale on the Raptor will kill the FX 4. It wont be...

    Rear window cracked under acceleration

    This is why you have to have all the windows up or all down when you accelerate, the air cant accelerate as fast and shock loads the window. Actually, it was probably a fluke thing, a friend had a side window do the same thing in a Ford Ranger he was driving, it just blew out. Apparently...

    Bent Frame:(

    There was a member here who topped $24K after hitting a deer, and that didn't involve a frame replacement, so I think this est is a bit low. If it was mine, I would want it totaled, unless this shop is super picky & you can supervise the repair, this truck is going to be plagued with issues...

    Raptor Kicking Ass!!

    GM manages to step on their **** more than any other company I have ever seen. They just don't seem to learn from their mistakes.

    Prairie City SVRA october 12th

    Are you fucking kidding? This will be the second time in the last 5 years I have wanted to get in P/C & they are still screwing with the road. I thought NV was dead ass slow when it came to road work..this takes the cake. What makes this really bad, is we don't need their stinking pavement...

    SYNC Two Phones?

    I thought that was a reasonable question. Until recently, I was in the same boat-work and personal phones. Why the attitude? You ever hear of a computer network or a shared drive? Why wouldn't it be possible? It's not like he was asking for cold fusion or something like that. I would...

    Towing questions

    You will probably want the ball to be about 2" higher than the hitch height for the trailer, reason being the truck will drop a couple of inches even with a W/D, you will still see some suspension compression, so you might not need as much drop as you think. In regard to the Aux, I would...

    Raptor Sightings/Spotting (on the road or parked)

    Last Friday I saw saw four of 'em scattered all over Reno, two black, one silver, one orange. This place is lousy with Raptors.. and I never see any when I am in mine.

    Hello from Norcal

    I agree, that does seem high for a SCAB. Tell them you meant 48K out the door, that will knock a few bucks off the price. But...if 48K is a price you can live with, then good for you- you will now have one of the coolest vehicles out there. One of the best things about a Raptor is it can be...

    Raptor Sightings/Spotting (on the road or parked)

    You got balls taking a Raptor in that parking lot - some of the smallest spaces I have ever seen.

    time to downsize, but upgrade

    Mine is white simply because it hides "pin striping" pretty well. With as wide as the Raptor is, you cant avoid it.

    Oil life %

    The oil life will change depending how you drive. If I really hammer it, the oil life will really drop, I have had some 2K intervals according to the computer. Unless I have taken lots of friends out in the desert (to show them what the Raptor can do) I change the oil every 5K. Once, just to see...
