I'm starting to think that what I thought was the cam phaser issue on my truck is actually just the wastegate rattle, which seems like it should be a relief.
Would really need to know your goals to answer the question. How bad do you want a new one? Are you independently wealthy? Is there some life change coming that requires the extra interior room?
100% accurate.
Personally, the Raptor's Sport mode feels like someone described a sport mode to a different person that had to implement it, and what they came up with was to just hold gears longer and keep the turbos spooled. It feels totally unnatural to me, kills the gas mileage, and drives...
Let's unpack a couple things here:
1) Can't say I've ever noticed a difference in drivetrain stress one way or the other.
2) It is quite noticeable that it holds gears for so long, but I don't see this as positively as most others.
3) There's definitely more turbo use in Sport mode.
4)...
They actually do start rattling by themselves. My brand new '15 Lariat Screw had a rattling sunroof before I had 250 miles on the odometer.
I've never had problems with any other sunroof, pano sunroof, or convertible top mechanism in my entire life, but both of my F150's sunroofs have broken.
1) Anyone can find them for "MSRP" online--they're fishing for suckers.
2) You didn't get four non-local dealers to agree to MSRP on a new Raptor in two hours.
3) There's a non insignificant cost associated with buying a vehicle that requires a 1000 mile round trip to acquire.
My Raptor is the least delicate vehicle I've owned in years so if I was in the market to rent something, that would be the one. Sometimes I feel like the only car enthusiast that doesn't get emotional about owning a hunk of glass and metal. If it gets broken or stolen, insurance fixes it or buys...
That's what they look like with the beadlock trim rings installed. The OP's used wheels look just like the OEM headlock-capable wheels on my '19 Raptor without the rings.
I noticed that my Gen 2 infotainment system seemed to be freezing at the same location every time, about 1/4 mile down the street from my house. I finally realized that it seemed to be related to me plugging my iPhone in and activating CarPlay--when the truck/phone left the coverage of my home...
Seems like tonneau cover issues are almost always related to the installation, so I wouldn't expect them to replace it either. That goes double if these are dealer installed.
I don't think I've ever been as confused about an issue as I have been with these cam phasers:
1) I don't understand what happens if they're not fixed. Does my engine blow? Does it just keep sounding funny on cold starts?
2) I don't understand the relationship between reprogramming the ECU and...
This is a tough one:
Most Raptor owners specify the moonroof. The loud but vocal minority is in this group, but they're not wrong--they know the downsides.
I normally insist on a moonroof because I like them. The '15+ Ford trucks are the one time I might skip the feature because of how fragile...

The regional Ford rep isn't for end users, it's for dealers. If they gave the rep's contact info out to every customer that wanted it the rep would never get anything done because they'd be responding to basic requests like this all day that should be handled by the dealer.
I'm a...
Really? That's surprising because my '21 Edge shows the outside temp at the top of the big screen, even when CarPlay is active. Why would they change that on the trucks?
Most of us recognize that the door just needs to be adjusted on a new vehicle that starts under $35k so we just don't see this as the big 'gotcha' that some others do. The 'complicated' solution is to point it out to the dealer and ask them to adjust the door parts that are designed to be...
