Thanks for the candid feedback. You bring up good points such as the elimination of the hard buttons which I use all the time. Excellent point about viability of app support going forward on Android 8 which was released in 2017.

Just saw this video for a Ram like screen upgrade/replacement. I am a consistent carplay user but this runs native Android apps like Waze, Google Maps, YT music, Spotify, and so forth; wouldn't lose anything effectively. iPhone would still connect via Bluetooth for phone calls etc. Would be less...

I realize this is about service but a good dealer tends to have good sales and service. This requires good: people, organization, and ethics. I’ve listened to this guy for years on the radio (KLIF) and only recommends dealers that he knows and trusts. https://www.insideautomotive.com/purchase.htm

Would say to wait. It's been great to sell for awhile and terrible to buy - used or new. The best scenario is sell if you don't need to replace. Our trucks are holding well. Sports cars are absolutely insane now. My 911 is worth more than when I bought it two years ago. I checked on...

I used the Cyan labs upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4 and then used the Ford site to upgrade to the latest 3.4 version. I thought for sure the Ford update would have balked at the previous Cyan labs install.

@Oldfart The thread needs an educational documentary to class up the joint.

Errrr. Negative Ghost Rider.

Thanks for that FB link. I just asked for admission as well.

Haha. I am old enough to know better I guess. Battery Maintainer: The 2019 Raptor is my wife's so it stays local. I drive it when I can on the highway and get up to temp and keep it on a Deltran battery maintainer. My 2018 911 C4S is on a CTEK battery maintainer. I DD my 2018 M3 so there...

All good. Learned a bit but went through a Big @$$ bucket of popcorn. Viva la FRF!

Thanks all. Good points. Full synthetic oil annually. Brake fluid 2 years because it's hydrophilic. Will drain trans and diff at 4 years.

FRF, My '19 is a year old and has ~ 3,300 miles on it. I know, I know ... I switched to full synthetic after my imaginary 'break-in' at 1,000 miles and am sticking to six-month oil changes otherwise. Does this time-based schedule look reasonable - guessing on the analog to mileage intervals...

Looks to be a recent issue with Waze and others receiving results with a phone reboot alone. Longer FRF thread here: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/wierd-carplay-volume-issue.75938/

I am a forum member but the Raptor is honestly hers. She drove a 4Runner and then had a number of X5s. This is her first truck. That said the 802A package with the 360 camera, BLIS, and cooled seats made this an easy yes for her.

@traxem Definitely agree with the wisdom regarding cable quality. I stopped using Apple cables as I've had bad luck with them on the Raptor. Anker brand, from Amazon, have served me well. My BMW is wireless carplay and it spoiled me. I'll look to the wireless carplay dongle for the Raptor.

Apple Carplay implementation is troublesome across many brands. My BMW sometimes refuses to connect to my phone after being connected that drive to my spouse's phone. My Porsche sometimes goes silent went trying to launch my Podcast app. I've had to reset my Ford on more than one occasion -...

Congratulations and welcome to FRF. Many of us still have premium-brand SUVs, sedans, and sports cars in our stable. The only time I notice I am not in a premium brand is when I get it serviced. ;) Mine, errr my wife's Raptor, has been trouble-free.

Wonder if the race teams run these hipo air filters because they routinely break the engines down and rebuild them. If I only had a staff of mechanics on retainer ...

Lots of good pics and advice here -> https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/looking-for-tonneau-cover-recommendations.72782/

Welcome. The first-gen Raptor was the first truck I really lusted after and have enjoyed every mile with my Gen2. Could I ask you to share details on your Hellcat? Year, mileage, mods, and how reliable is/was it?

Another extremely satisfied X4 owner. As others have stated: quiet, the bed stays dry, nice hard surface, low-profile, the tailgate opens and closes independently, the opening cables are easy for my wife to use. I purchased the X4 from a great board sponsor: [email protected] -...

My vote is Dr. Colorchip for smaller rock chips. I have never used it for dime-sized - YMMV.

Congrats - good to know that Lakeland Ford gave you a good deal.

Welcome (back). Did you look at the Tremor package for the SD as an option? Curious what it's like going from SD to our Gen2 Raptors.
