    Offroam phone mount? Locking hooks in bed?

    Figured I’d kill two… in one post. Just traded my 22 for a 25. Am I right the edges of the vents are different? Seems my offroam vent mount for phone doesn’t work. I can’t find a phone mount that works for the 2025. Any ideas? Also noticed I didn’t get the small handles that lock into the...

    Warranty Question

    First, I never buy dealer add-ones, not extended warranties, and I always have a good laugh when they try to sell me tire and wheel protection. Especially on the Raptor. I do have, for decades, Geico Mechanical Breakdown coverage. That covers repairs with a $250 deductible when the factory...

    Getting Tires Installed Today. I hope...

    Place nearby who does my services when not warranty work said he "hopes" my AT4W Wildpeaks fit on his machine. He has Hunter Road Force Balancer and associated tire machines. He's knows as the Viper Wizard on the East Coast. Do you think the 35s are too big for the average tire machine...

    2 Used Raptor R at dealer near me

    As I was leaving Costco where I go off roading by bumping over the parking lot bollard, Colonial Ford (a s c u m b a g of a stealer) had two 2023 Rs on the lot, one with approx 6k miles, the other with 7k miles, one gray, the other black. Asking price was 119 and 121. When I asked why the one...

    Tires rotated. Now Noisy

    Imagine this. My wife, a truly lovely woman if I do say so myself, (as would anyone else who knows her) is generally oblivious to all things cars. She drives whatever I buy for her, knows nothing about cars. On the rare occasions I find myself in her vehicle, if I hear a noise, etc., she's...

    RTFM. Yeah, Yeah, I know, but answer anyway

    This may be the dumbest, simplest question in the history of car forums. In every car I've owned it's been the easiest thing to accomplish but I can't figure it out in the Raptor. How the h*ll do you get the interior lights to come on when opening the doors and obviously go off automatically?

    It happened

    I was in my white Gen3 waiting at a red light today and a white Gen1 made a left turn from my right. I gazed at the beauty that the Gen1 grill is and have to admit, I felt a tinge of jealousy, a bit inadequate.

    Buying Used From a Dealer? You Got to Be Out Your Mind

    I went hard today, brutal off roading. @John M BUNMAN would be jealous. Yep, rode straight over a bollard to pull in to a spot at Costco. Once I was done, I drove down the road and pulled into Colonial Ford in Danbury, Ct., also known as ripoff capital of the world. They have 3 Raptors on...

    2023 Avalanche Gray Raptor available from a GREAT dealer in NC.

    My salesman, Greg Oates of Tindol Ford, just sent me a pic of an Avalanche Gray 2023 Raptor they have available on the lot. Contact him fast if you want it. I have zero connection other than as a very happy customer of a honest dealership.

    Changing Climate buttons?

    So I know this was mentioned in the LED replacement thread. However, I didn't receive an answer there as the thread is a bit stale. I ordered on ebay the replacement unit from a Platinum, correct part number, to replace the climate unit with no numbers. I gotta have the numbers. I thought I...

    Step Aside JohnM

    You heard me. What, you think you’re the only one who takes his Raptor off-roading? Huh? Well get a load of this. That’s right. In da sticks, in da woods, far, far from civilization. No cell service, no satellite service, nearest gas station like 20,000 (feet). I proudly present my latest...

    Best way to Carry two 12' kayaks?

    I always used my 16' enclosed trailer to transport kayaks. Slight overkill. I'm now using the trailer as a storage shed so need something to carry kayaks. They are 12' long and not light. Have the diamondback cover so don't know if I can put it on there. Thinking something on roof. Any...

    Allow me to “frame” the question

    As I’ve noted ad nauseam, I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to all things mechanical. So here’s my question re trucks: If trucks are built on a solid steel frame, unlike a car’s unibody structure, and especially the Raptor with its strengthened frame, then why is there body...

    Pinstripes. Is it still a thing?

    There are many topics here on pinstriping after driving trails with brush. I speak of the real kind. Ya see, I’ve succumbed to, and fallen down that rabbit hole called TikTok (my son said the Chinese have stolen all my personal info as a result. Whateva. I’m sure that’s been done over and...

    Diff cover

    I know diff covers have been discussed over the years but didn’t find it on Gen3. A. Will this fit the Gen3? B. Is it just for “looks”? C. What are the 2 orange rimmed holes I see in it? D. Is it a dirty job? When you remove the old cover does fluid pour out? E. Can an armchair...

    Run, Don’t Walk

    A member here who shall remain anonymous at his behest turned the anti-glare feature on for me. It is that good that you must do it.

    Does anyone (Engineers) try what they design?

    I always found it a bit difficult to remove my tow chains from the holes on my Gen2. They are far behind the hitch and under the body. Just a dumb location. Never had a problem putting the hooks in but getting them out was harder. When I saw it was redesigned on the Gen3, I was glad. They...

    Are there any new topics? Key code pad

    I mean, really, has it all been covered by now? Perhaps, but when I have a question or a thought, bring it up, as my dad always said. So here goes. After four Raptors I just discovered that the number pad on the door is not as sophisticated as I thought. Now don’t get me wrong, I like it...

    Was There a Time When…

    Was there a time when this fine forum, one of my home away from homes, had only a Gen 1 section, before the Gen 2 was even announced? And now with the reordering, or rejiggering of the sub forums, we find the once and still great Gen 1 at the bottom of the page, with a vaporware Raptor R...

    FS: ProClip Mount Gen2

    This fits across top of dash and hooks in to edge of vent. I had it for about a year and it fit perfectly. It has double sided tape on inner edge for vent but I never used it. It's still covered with the factory seal over the tape. This also has the mount, as can be seen, for a GoPro...

    Swaybar Disconnect?

    I ask this out of ignorance, curiosity, and in an effort to learn. I know some Bronco models offer swaybar disconnect. I realize the Raptor is not designed to be a rock crawler but have seen many videos of people doing just that. Is swaybar disconnect not compatible with the way the front...
