    2019 Ford Raptor Buyback Warranty repair for Sale

    I was thinking the same thing! It would appear that it's riddled with electrical gremlins. I wouldn't take a chance on it.

    2019 Ford Raptor Buyback Warranty repair for Sale

    Ford doesn’t just buy back vehicles after the first fix attempt. Typically, Ford will only buy back a vehicle after umpteen attempts, without success, so you should be very concerned about whether the issue was fixed for good. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn’t... it’s really a gamble. Has the...

    Trailer Backup Assist Decals

    I'm not sure that your analogy works here. But if you're going to drive a car with a manual transmission, you should know how to drive a stick shift. If you're going to tow a trailer, you should know how to back it up. Based on what you've said so far, I'm guessing you know how to back up a...

    Trailer Backup Assist Decals

    I'm sorry, but if one can't back up a trailer without the Ford Trailer Assist, then one is either towing with wrong vehicle or shouldn't be towing at all. I know, just my opinion. Out of curiosity, have you tried lowering your tailgate to see the ski and trailer?

    Trailer Backup Assist Decals

    There are plenty of stickers on eBay for $15. Like here - https://www.ebay.com/itm/133352470034 I somewhat agree with wheelman - you should continue to learn to back up a trailer the real way (can’t believe I just said that). Fords Trailer Backup Assist feature is really cool, but it will...

    Hello from Cary, NC

    Small world indeed. They live back off of Country Club Dr in a community near the water. But not close enough as my brother-in-law wants his boat behind their house. So they just bought a house on the water up in Holly Ridge. Beautiful piece of property on the ICW. Their house in Hampstead...

    Trade Value

    Use the 2017 on their lot against them. It's a year older with 21k more miles and they're asking $56k? And it's all scratched up? Based on the 2017's price tag, I'm guessing they'll through a price of $60k on your truck if you decided to trade it to them. (Without knowing your options and...

    Kirkland Signature Full Synthetic Oil - Great Value!

    For the record, OldFart, I see nothing wrong with using crushed bat heads in my Raptor... but only if they're from China... no US based bats for me. In all seriousness, I did a little research and Kirkland Signature brand oil is made here in the US by Warren Distribution. They're the largest...

    Kirkland Signature Full Synthetic Oil - Great Value!

    I just saw that Costco is now selling Kirkland Signature (their private label) full synthetic 5W-30 motor oil. They are selling a 5 quart 2-pack for $26.99 - that's $2.69 a quart. I've used Mobil1 for years - I've used nothing else. I always buy it while it's on MVM for $28.69 ($10 off) for 6...

    Taking my truck to Work?

    The reason I asked your age is because my response would be quite different if you were 40+ with 20 years of supervisory/life experience. You're a newer and younger Supervisor, so your concern makes sense to me. I'm also going to guess that you were one of their peers not too long ago...

    CPO’d ‘18 raptor questions

    A “Corporate Vehicle” only means that someone titled the vehicle under a company name - you have nothing to be concerned with. Well, nothing more than normal. A buddy of mine owns three investment properties so he created an LLC for tax purposes. He titles the vehicle under his LLC so he...

    Undercover Swingcase ... who has them!?

    Mine is installed over the BedTred - very similar to the BedRug, but rubberized over the insulation material. I just punched through the material and it worked great. No issues. Here's a pick after I installed it (in my old Lariat).

    Scab 800a

    Nice... didn’t have to go far! Small world... I have an office in Costa Mesa and travel out there often. One evening I was bored and went driving around... ended up looking at Raptors at McCoy Mills. They had a bunch in-stock!

    GEN 2 SCAB Rear Seat Back Driver's Side...

    I’m not sure about the Raptors, buy my Dads SCAB XLT already had a nylon strap that you could pull to release the seat. It was tucked down behind the seat and he couldn’t see it, but with a little fumbling around, we found it. It’s a small little strap with a plastic tab on the end and in...

    Out with the Ram in With the Raptor

    FORSCAN is your friend. Here’s a link that will give you everything you need to know. Doing these changes is much easier than it seems when you first dive into it. You’ll need a windows laptop, ODB II adapter and a FORSCAN license. If your decide to do this, above all, save backups of your...

    Out with the Ram in With the Raptor

    Congrats on your new truck and welcome to FRF. With regards to your stiff steering, have you tried changing your Selectable Steering options? I drove my Raptor for the first few days and didn’t even realize the truck had this option.
