    rear main seal leaking again after Ford warranty repair - could the oil pan be part of the problem?

    At 14,000 miles an inspection during an oil change on the road at a Ford dealership showed oil leaking in the skid plate area. They told me they thought the oil pan might be leaking and when I got back home to Colorado to have my local dealer look at it. At 17,000 miles my closest Ford...

    Can't be normal: Transmission makes loud hard shifts

    I have a 2023 Raptor with 15,000 miles on it. I bought it new so it is still under warranty. I did a search but could not find a topic like this one. On a recent long road trip (2000 miles roundtrip) I noticed a number of uncharacteristic jerky downshifts when coming to a stop. Normal...

    Is there a difference between Gen 2 and Gen 3 motor?

    I thought I read somewhere that the Gen 3 motor, although rated for the same for torque and horsepower, was retuned to deliver the torque at lower rpm's. Is this true? If so would it explain an improvement in mileage (about 1.5-2 mpg) in favor of my Gen 3 over my Gen 2? Are there any other...

    16.4 mpg on 1464 mile road trip - details below

    I drove 685 miles from Estes Park Colorado to Des Moines Iowa. Mostly I-76 and I-80 with some two lane mountain roads down hill coming out of the mountains. With a mild tail wind behind me I got 17.6 mpg on this leg. Then 94 miles of in town driving in Des Moines which brought the average...

    2019 vs 2023 comparison after 300 miles

    For anyone wondering about the difference and whether it is worth the upgrade, I have owned my 2023 for only 5 days and 300 plus miles. I sold my 2019 two years ago so it's not a back to back comparison, but my memory of its driving experience is still pretty clear. I live and drive at 7500...

    Just had PPF installed on my Code Orange 2023 today

    Preferred Window Tint in Fort Collins, CO did it. I had the hood, orange nose trim, mirrors, door sills, door handle pockets and rocker panels done in Xpel. I bring it up because I thought they did a real good job at a fair price of about $1400. To anyone who has had PPF before, the...

    Missing owners manual. Is there a sport mode button that changes transmission/engine characteristics?

    My 2023 that I just picked up Friday does not have a owners manual. Do I need to talk to my dealer about its whereabouts or do they no longer come with a hard copy and I have to look online for one? So until I get a manual, is there a button or menu setting for an over all sport mode that...

    Has anyone installed AMP XL power retractable steps on their Raptor?

    I like the look and cool factor of the AMP power retractable steps. The XL versions have an extra 3 inch drop for lifted trucks which as a short person I would find beneficial. Besides the $2200-$2500 price any drawbacks with reliability or loss of ground clearance? Would ground clearance...

    New 2023 Raptor replaces my 2019

    I bought a new 2019 Raptor in June of 2019 but sold it in March 2021 when my dealer offered me close to what I paid for it. Two years later and I missed having a truck. I wanted to keep the price down and had a substantial GM card rebate which I could have used on a Chevy. So I test drove the...
