    New Falken Wildpeak AT4W

    I wound up getting a set. So far like them, but have only driven on street in dry conditions so that really isn't a useful opinion. They are quiet at 80mph. I weighed my spare at 98.6lb (stock 2019 non-beadlock wheel, KO2, zero wear). Wildpeak AT4W on Method MR703 17x8.5, 25mm offset was...

    Wheel + Tire Weight

    I just weighed my spare (2019, non-beadlock, unused). And it's 98.6lb.

    New Falken Wildpeak AT4W

    Anyone running the AT4Ws yet? I'm torn between these and the Toyo A/T III, or perhaps even another set of KO2. Would consider KO3s but not yet available in real sizes. Mainly concerned about extra weight degrading performance. Un-sprung rotating mass is the second worst kind of mass...

    Sync 3.4 Crashed badly today, had to soft reset

    I'm running Sync 3.4, build 20136. 2019 802A. Started truck and the map came up full screen with no 'chrome' (i.e., no clock, climate control data, or bottom mode bar). Phone connected as expected via bluetooth and started playing music from Spotify (which is what it'd been doing 3hr before...

    TFL Finds 2021 Ford Raptor Horsepower and Torque Numbers?

    What the heck weighs so much? It's a 1.5kWh lithium-ion battery, motor and inverter. Tesla's 75kWh packs weigh a bit over 1000lb, and a third gen Prius battery is 1.3kWh and weighs 93lb. Looked at the weight info here and it's about 600lb as you said...

    2022 Tundra stole some lighting cues from the Raptor!

    My understanding is the speculation is they're using a 3.5L TT V6. Same motor they use in Lexus LS500, 415hp/442lb-ft in the LS500. And I think they were doing a big of 5.7Ls for parts and other vehicles that still uses before that plant stops making it altogether.

    2022 Tundra stole some lighting cues from the Raptor!

    You need clearance lights if you're more than 80" wide. Pickup trucks are currently in the 79.9"-80.0" range.

    GPS TRACKER

    There's also of course the physical module, believe it's behind rear seat on the back wall of cab (inside of course). Pulling the cord out of that works just as well. If you want good tracking to find thieves that are cloning keys (and thus likely are very familiar with the truck's design), I...

    GPS TRACKER

    On a Gen2, Fuse 10 in the interior panel kills the 4G modem. Doesn't affect GPS functionality in truck, but the data isn't sent to Ford or its marketing partners, or their marketing partners, or the marketing partners of those marketing partners...

    2020 Performance Chip

    This is obviously a giant scam on par with the "Tornado Fuel Saver" and fuel magnets. How do they even sell one?

    2021 Raptor Price list

    Anyone that pays $1-20k dealer markup either has enough money to simply not care or is a complete moron. After buying my truck new ($1500 under sticker in Orange County, CA), I found a $20,000 ADM sticker that had been on it in the glovebox. And buying in socal and not traveling out of...

    2021 Raptor Price list

    My current truck (2019) was $70,940 MSRP I think (802A, tech packge, tailgate step, moonroof). Looks like the equivalent 2021 is $72220. (801A, tailgate step, moonroof). So a $1280 price increase over two years on a different generation. The "new Raptor costs $10,000 more" statement made by...

    What happens if you unplug telematics/modem on a 2019 with 802A?

    No problems at all. I don't think it behaves any differently than everyone else's other than FordPass being disabled. There's an error if you go into the FordPass menu, but only if you take that action. ForScan does see an internal code logged about the issue, but it's not a check-engine...

    GEN 2 Stock Head Unit Issues

    Mine had few issues on 3.3, but after initial 3.4 upgrade it was pretty atrocious. Resetting fixed the vast majority of those problems. 3.4 still does have a delay in displaying controls sometimes. It seems as though it's not pre-loading visual resources for commonly requested actions, like...

    Sell now or trade in later for Raptor R?

    That's nuts. What was sticker on yours? Love my truck but the idea that it's worth more than I paid for it after 18 months makes me consider swapping it for a manual Taco and Model 3.

    Ford & Carfax's awful policy. BE AWARE !!!

    That's horrible, thanks for writing it up. Hadn't considered how insane this crap is becoming. So....always request (and then inevitably sue) insurance for diminution of value if you get any kind of damage that goes on a carfax. Otherwise your insurance is only effectively paying half the...

    2021 F150 "work truck" faster than a Raptor.

    I think Ford needs to...this: Raptor/Limited HO Motor Powerboost Raptor TOD transfer case Regular cab, short bed. No rear axle blocks. Monochromatic paint, no chrome. They literally have a gen-14 Lightning sitting in the parts bin, you're just not allowed to configure one.

    Tons of errors

    It continues to amaze me that sensor/data-input faults in new vehicles aren't correctly logged by the software systems. This is not a Ford thing, it seems like it's every manufacturer. There was a fault condition that tripped these subsystems to stop functioning because some requirement could...

    Driving in snow?

    I believe the Deep Snow/Sand mode (and maybe Baja+Rock Crawl) does dial back the ABS intervention threshold and disables the system at *very* slow speeds. The slow-speed-disable bit is about building up sand/mud/snow in front of the tire which adds to the retarding force. I think it's like...

    The drive-mode button is a huge design fail.

    Overall I'm really impressed with the drive modes on the Gen2, but after a year of owning it I still can't believe how poorly Ford designed their user interface. First, it's just a button which says "mode" on the steering wheel. Not even "Drive Mode", just "Mode". Right underneath the audio...
