    Cobb Tuner - any value as a sale item??

    I traded in my 2019 Ford Raptor but kept the Cobb Tuner with TCM tuner. I didn't remove the tune when I sold the truck. Does this make the tuner worthless or is there some value? Thanks

    hAtE to see it... dealer offered me any of their 2024 $5k under MSRP

    Last year, I asked about a Bronco Raptor on my local Ford lot, the smucks told me they could easily get $40K over MSRP and looked at me like I was dirt. That was with my 2019 Raptor sitting outside. Fast forward to the last couple of months and they have one 2023 Bronco and five 2024 Bronco...

    What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

    I installed the new Weathertech bed liner today. It's a heavy rubber with 3" tall wall on three sides. The underside looks like the tenacles of an octopus. I'm not a fan of spray in liners and I wanted something that went up the sides of the bed so when something slides around, it doesn't hit...

    Raptor Regret?

    I was a little leery when I started looking at Raptors. My previous trucks all had 400HP V-8's. However, when you think about it, a lot of your supercars are running high HP V-6 engines. The Raptor V-6 had been out long enough that the engine was time proven. There were a couple of stupid...

    Auto car wash for the day to day washing

    We live in Southern California and water use is always an issue. I use a local automatic car wash about every ten days. It's the brush type. After I drive through, I jump out and towel off the few spots that are still dripping and inside the door frames. Every so often, I use the same car wash...

    CA registering out of state new vehicle

    Join AAA in California, you don't have to get their insurance, just get a membership, pretty inexpensive. Then register at an AAA Office. They'll even give you your new plates right there.

    Remote start heated seats won’t turn on.

    Per the Manual.....the remote start is supposed to remember the LAST configuration, like heated seats on, when you stop the truck. Try leaving the heated seats on and stop the truck and lock it. We live in California, and I've only turned the heated seats on a couple of times. I've never...

    Engine Bay Cleaning

    I've washed every engine compartment on every vehicle I've ever owned, I really like the 505 cleaner from Home Depot. It's a more powerful formula of 409. I spray everything under the hood, hitting the dirtiest spots a couple of times, wait a few minutes and rinse with a garden hose sprayer...

    Pedal Commander Stuffs

    I bought a Pedal Commander when my 2019 was new. It worked well. I believe I had set at City 1 or Sport 1. About two months ago, I was driving up a grade and the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. It went into a limp mode, and it said several things were not available, if I recall, it was...

    Ford Motorcraft battery for Raptor?

    I use my local Ford dealer for routine service. With the original purchase of the truck and five oil changes since new, I had enough Ford points (didn't even know they were worth anything) to buy a new OEM AGM battery for my truck for half price, $131.00. I tow my truck behind my diesel pusher...

    Easy Seat Mod for Big Guys

    I recently replaced my driver's side seat cover, primarily for a bleached-out spot in the center of the seat. There was also a small 1" tear along the side where the side of the seat collapses as you slide out. That was caused by my fat butt. When I replaced the seat cushion, I placed a piece...

    Bumper Piece

    On my 2019, that piece, the other side and center cross hatch section are all one piece. Ford wanted $237.00 for the part, Found it online form China for $55.00. Actually, saw it on the shipping tracking leaving Quangchau China. Took about four weeks for delivery. I cut up the cross hatch area...

    Cobb Accessport TCM Tune????

    I have a 2019 Raptor that is completely stock. I'm interested in adding the Cobb Accessport ECM/TCM primarily to improve the shifting. Here is my question.....I tow the truck behind my diesel pusher motorhome. This requires putting the transmission into NEUTRAL TOW. There have been at least a...

    New drivers seat cover

    I just bought the driver's seat bottom from Ford for my 2019 Raptor. It was reasonable compared to other things they sell ($189.00). I'm pretty handy and was a mechanic in my younger days. I do all my own work. The lower seat cover wasn't difficult, but pretty complex. About half a dozen...

    Painted Fender Flares

    Both Amazon and Ebay had them. Amazon was about half the price. The OEM vents are slightly recessed into the body, so the CF overlays fit nicely and are still "inside" the sheet metal, so they won't snag. I cleaned the OEM vents with alcohol, removed the tape form the CF covers and then heated...

    Will you even consider a Cybertruck (Fun Poll)

    My Raptor is admittedly a mall crawler. For me it was an old man hot rod. It's towable and is towed behind my diesel motorhome when we go camping. With that said, when the Rivian truck was about to go into production, it was supposed to be flat towable and many RVer's put orders in. At the last...

    Painted Fender Flares

    I just got mine back from paint. My Raptor came with matching flairs from the factory, except the flairs and the short piece behind the wheels are matte finish. I damaged the flairs and the leading edge of the truck bed on both sides with rock chips. I had the bed sides, all four flairs and the...

    Tire advice needed

    I was in the same boat as you. Mine rarely goes off road but is may daily driver and gets towed behind my motorhome. The more I towed the truck, the louder the KO2's got. I'm a big fan of the Cooper AT3's. They look bigger than most as they have more of a rounded tread. The rounded tread also...

    GEN 2 What happened to my fender flare?

    I may be wrong, but I think the only color in 2019 that came with matching paint flares was the Magnetic grey. Mine streaked and are annoying. I'm older with bad knees and when I first bought my Raptor, I changed the running boards to AMP electric. That was a mistake, I soon found the OEM...

    Parking Brake Alert Malfunction - Help

    Thanks everyone for the help, especially Old Raptor Guy. I'll check the wiring harnesses. I guess I could be Old Raptor Guy too, I'm 68 years old and just like the truck as a daily driver. We also tow it behind our diesel pusher motorhome.

    Parking Brake Alert Malfunction - Help

    I have a 2019 Raptor with about 27K miles. The other day while driving on the freeway, the dash lit up and said Parking Brake Malfunction. I got a picture of the wrench, the dash display told me multiple things were now unavailable, including changing driving modes. I thought the world was...

    Power Seat Control Cover

    This may be a silly a question, but I will ask. I love everything about my 2019 Raptor Super Crew except the power seat controls. I have a big butt and legs and I'm no spring chicken, so I just don't jump into my truck. About 50% of the time, I clip the seat controls. When you do this, it...
