    How much taxes and fees do you pay annually in SC or NC state?

    No, there is annual property tax on all vehicles owned/registered. He registered his for the first time, which is the sales tax, capped in SC at $500. He will pay property taxes each year thereafter.

    How much taxes and fees do you pay annually in SC or NC state?

    In SC, vehicle/property taxes are a major source of revenue. For my 2018 Raptor, the 2020 taxes were $420, then $384 in 2021. They do the value on assumed value/mileage. Yours would be roughly similar on a '19, and maybe less depending on county...mine is one of the most expensive. You can...

    Hard Shifts 3-4-5

    The really hard/slamming 4-5 shift. I had it in my '18, and I took multiple techs for rides in it to show them it wasn't just a firm/hard shift. All were like, ooh, yeah...it's not supposed to do that. I had the PCM re-flashed multiple times and it would always come back. I've driven other...

    Hard Shifts 3-4-5

    For those of us that actually had this problem, that's just not true. The PCM re-flash doesn't fix it. And, if it really was designed that way, why? And why don't they all do it? This 10sp inarguably has some issues...my wife's 2019 Expedition has some of them, as well. Just this past weekend it...

    Does the Cam Phaser recall now cover every year of the Gen2 (2017-20), and beyond?

    Update, like anyone GAS... Bought a '19 Limited with the HO 3.5L and 29K miles...told dealer I did not want to deal with the cam phasers again, please make sure had been dealt with, they did the current update (not sure if 21N03 or 08). Get the truck home, cam phaser rattle on startup cold...

    Does the Cam Phaser recall now cover every year of the Gen2 (2017-20), and beyond?

    How does this repair differ/how can I tell if it has been done on a certain truck or not?

    Does the Cam Phaser recall now cover every year of the Gen2 (2017-20), and beyond?

    Yes, I should have remembered that from an X5 4.4i Sport I had years ago that got out of warranty, but this car had a 10yr/120K extended warranty from BMW on the most troublesome areas, plus major repairs to those problem areas with the new/improved parts done by an M Certified Delaership, with...

    Does the Cam Phaser recall now cover every year of the Gen2 (2017-20), and beyond?

    FTOne...thanks...what I am talking about are entries like this from CarFax...2020 F150 Limited, build date appears to be just inside the cutoff, Program #21N03 for Cam Phasers issued here in November of '21, and I have seen it as late as Feb of '22 on these reports. What is this? I really don't...

    Does the Cam Phaser recall now cover every year of the Gen2 (2017-20), and beyond?

    So, I sold my 2018 Raptor in August after having the cam phasers repaired and experiencing some consistent transmission issues. I had hoped to dodge the price insanity by hiding out in a low-mileage 2013 M5 for a year or so, but that has blown up in my face spectacularly (another story). I miss...

    GEN 2 Bad smell in AC system

    If yours is like/as bad as mine was, it won't fix it. It's in the evaporator/coils. I would not run it without the cabin filter...then all that junk is just going into the system to react with whatever is already causing a problem.

    GEN 2 Bad smell in AC system

    No. See my post #43 above...I went through it all/tried everything, and finally got Ford to admit there was a problem/split a fix with me. Decided to sell the truck before then.

    GEN 2 Bad smell in AC system

    How many times are you going to make this same, lame/"stale" joke? This is a legitimate issue on many of these trucks, and contributed to me getting rid of mine.

    Is the Gen 2 an instant classic, styling wise?

    I remember when they got them there was an article in the AJC about it, and the GSP told people, don't even try to outrun us...we will catch you or you will die.

    Is the Gen 2 an instant classic, styling wise?

    I saw the Gen2 on the cover of Car and Driver in 2016, and I said, damn...I'm getting one of those. Best looking truck I've ever seen, still.

    Thinking About Selling

    KBB likely high now, especially for resale, and take the tonneau off it. Where you are impacts it, too.

    Thinking About Selling

    Sold mine here in SC for $62K in August...802a with 44k miles. I'm pretty sure prices are down from then, though.

    GEN 2 Funny smell in my gen 2 Raptor

    See this thread if it gets worse, and definitely try to handle it in the warranty period if you can. https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/a-c-smells-like-vinegar-not-teen-spirit.76675/page-9#post-1652833 The linked post is what I finally got Ford to do. There is a procedure in the shop...

    Thinking About Selling

    Carvana got real in a hurry on the Raptor...the first time I got a quote from them in June it was $60k, Vroom was $63k. The next time I tried in July Carvana was down to $52.5k, Vroom still at $61k. Was going to go with Vroom until a local Ford dealer offered me $62k.

    Thinking About Selling

    I do think the peak has passed, but the values are still up for Gen2s, in part becasue there's not much noticeable improvement in Gen3. I sold my 2018 802a with 44k miles to a deler here for $62k in late July. Could have gotten $64 for it in June. Ended up buying a 2013 M5 with 34k miles to try...

    He says the quiet part out loud...not sure there's enough here to move the needle from a well-kept Gen2.

    Shed/Carport/Garage

    I mean, tarps are essential redneck equipment. Tell her once the garage is fixed, you will line the bed of the Raptor and make a hot tub.
