    recommend trails in southwest Colorado

    I've been on Ophir Pass, and that's really cool. You'll also want to check out the bridal veil falls above Telluride. It's an out-and-back with some really cool photo ops.

    Install new Tow Hooks

    I recently saw a Bronco Raptor with code orange tow hooks and trim rings -- I'm thinking I'm just going to reusemy factory ones and have them powder coated along with the wheel trim rings...

    GooseTuned GT700 Big Turbo review ‘21 Gen 3

    Once they get the 2024 cracked I’ll most likely be ordering one of these.

    Ford Performance Air/Oil separator for 3.5L EcoBoost

    Pardon my ignorance, but why is the drivers side unnecessary?

    Upgrading my Gen 2->Gen 3

    I'm not sure how long it was on the lot, but it had 130 miles on it. So it'd been driven more than a bit, but less than a lot. I'll be doing a paint correction & ceramic coating on it over the next 2 weekends (when I'm not taking a 2 week Introduction to Bladesmithing class), and I'll be sure...

    Upgrading my Gen 2->Gen 3

    Well, thanks for the heads-up on that. The tire pressure was indeed set to 48psi, and even though there were a couple dealer-installed accessories on the Monroney label, they weren't actually in the truck. So I had them give me a credit for both of those. The paint has some orange peel, but...

    New Video Review for the Gen 3 2024 Model Raptor 37 and R. What fits? What Doesn't? What Changed?

    Thanks for posting this! I’m picking up my 2024 tomorrow and this will be quite helpful!

    Official Gen 3 COBB Tuning Thread - Accessport, Intake Bracket, etc

    I'm sure part of that Cobb pricing is the name. Another part of that premium is that everything they sell is CARB-approved, and you're paying for them to deal with all of that paperwork and hassle. That might not matter to some, but for people who live in states that require it, it's a big...

    Moab

    I just booked a trip to Moab over Labor Day weekend. We'll have our brand new '24 802a, and it'll be our first trip out there. Can you offer some trail suggestions? I'm looking more for fun and scenery, not anything highly technical or difficult.

    Upgrading my Gen 2->Gen 3

    So I bought my 2018 Raptor used in late 2020, and it was well-driven (89k miles when I bought it, I added another 55k after that), and I bought it with the intention of upgrading to a Raptor R when they came available. Well, over the past few months I've called quite a few dealers, and every...

    Alpine loop in a raptor

    Drudging up this old thread -- we're going to be in the Silverton/Durango area over Memorial Day this weekend -- do you know if the Alpine Loop will be open then? The information I've seen states "June-August".

    Would like to Offroad with anyone in So. WY or No. CO.

    I am a new Raptor owner just north of Denver, and would love to join up on something like this.

    Medano Pass Primitive Road - Great Sand Dunes NP

    We are in Colorado Springs for my son’s birthday, and we plan to hit Great Sand Dunes NP next week. I’m planning on running the Medano Pass road while we are there. I’ve got a 12v air compressor and recovery strap, but not yet on the traction board. So the plan is air down to 15-18 psi before...

    Help! My arms aren't long enough!

    Last weekend was my first time washing my new (to me) Raptor. I'm not a small guy - 6'2", and I went ahead and got the Adam's Step Stool, which I thought would be plenty of height/reach to get to the whole roof (It's plenty for my wife's Acadia). But much to my chagrin, my arms are still about...

    New Gen2 owner here

    So I gave it a quick bath today, and had a good look at the paint. There are some rock chips up front and on the bumper and bash plate, and some swirl marks on the rear fenders, but for the most part the paint is pretty good. I've got some touch-up paint (both lightning blue and magnetic) on...

    New Gen2 owner here

    It only came with one key. I asked for them to provide a second; they couldn’t so they gave me a $300 allowance for that. I’ll take it to the nearby dealer and see if they can get me another key and deprogram the other one.

    New Gen2 owner here

    89k miles. I work from home so I won’t be putting many miles on it except on vacations and the weekends.

    New Gen2 owner here

    So I went ahead and pulled the trigger today. There was a (used-car) dealer near me with a 2018 Lightning Blue SuperCrew, 802A with Moonroof. The miles were pretty high, but it test drove great, and I didn't hear/see any major issues with it, the CarFax was clean and showed maintenance at the...

    Things to look for on a test drive - Used 2017 Raptor

    Thanks for posting all this info here. I’m going to be looking at a 2018 raptor tomorrow, and I’ll definitely keep all of these “gotchas” in mind when making a purchase decision.

    Raptor R, all time 4 wheel drive?

    Oh, I'm already in line to buy it sight unseen. I'm just saying that if I had my preference, I'd go with part-time 4WD and run it in 4A most of the time.

    Raptor R, all time 4 wheel drive?

    Frankly, I don't see any advantage to full-time 4WD and several disadvantages (fuel economy for one. Yeah, we're not buying it for the fuel economy, but I'm just sayin'). One of the reasons I'm NOT buying the TRX is the full-time 4WD -- 75% of my driving is going to be on surface streets at...

    Shown in Velocity Blue at Lightning event stage

    I'm a big fan of the Velocity Blue. My wife prefers the Antimatter Blue. Of course, I'm not ordering until next year (Raptor-R), so the available colors may change by then.
  23. Aurik

    Which color and options are you picking?

    Assuming the colors don't change for next year, I'll be ordering a Raptor-R next year in Antimatter Blue with everything except the sunroof.

    2021 Raptor info from my dealership

    One thing that I didn’t see mentioned on the 37 vs 35 debate is that if you choose to get the 37 package, that includes different shocks, (slightly) less suspension travel, and a different frame that can fit the 37” spare. If you later upfit 37’s onto Raptor that came with 35’s, you won’t be...
