Always had ice cold AC in our Raptor, even in extreme heat. What helped immensely was the addition of ceramic tint to the pano glass, windshield, and front windows. Without it, I could feel the heat on my head through the closed shade on the pano. Kept the tint light on the windshield at 80%...

We go to Pismo in California several times a year. A few things: First, air down. I go 15 psi front 12 rear. Second, under no circumstances drive your truck through salt water. You won’t be able to wash it all away and bad things will happen. Third, bring a kinetic rope and a couple soft...

This is how I know they’re working on my truck. I can see it’s location in the shop bay.

Had the LP4’s and loved them. Apparently, someone else loved them too and stole them. Even mounted them with theft deterrent bolts.

Looks like a really comprehensive kit. Covers both sides of the engine. But HOLY COW $750.

Waterfowler41 what a great way to offset the cost of products. Your videos are well made. A win win for all of us. Saw you’re a hockey coach. Son just aged out of Juniors playing for the Fresno Monsters. Greatest game out there.

Like others have said before, the big thing is you will have to pay California sales tax from your county that is in excess of the tax you paid in the state where you bought it. Raporzz broke it down perfectly earlier in this thread.

Gen 3, 37’s, trip 2 has 4100 miles on it at 14.9 mpg. This includes three trips between 300 and 400 miles but the rest was around town and light freeway driving. When I hit the freeway for a trip and the tank is full, I can get 16.5 mpg or so. Once I go north of 75, mileage begins to drop.

Don’t let them touch it for maintenance. I do my own. Warrantee work gets me a rental.

Yes, through the service advisor at the dealership. I also have the first day rental. Every time I’ve taken my truck in for service, they reserve me a car through Enterprise rental located down the street.

Yeah, 1911’s will always get a pass. Sig Sauer is my choice. I own several. I just never shot well with Glocks. Not sure why. Not a bad pistol, just not my choice.

Put it all in Notes on my phone-I take photos of all the items with receipts and write a detailed description of all maintenance performed.

They just raise and lower the beam. There is no provision to adjust the stock Rigids left/right.

That happened to my moonroof after I performed the required maintenance on it. I accidentally pulled it free from the track. Just push it back on. Look at the opposite side for reference. Took about 30 seconds to fix and haven’t had any problems with it since.

Here in Southern California, I’ve only been able to get 91.

I also remove both skid plates. A bit of a pain in the a$$ but like SurfRaptor, it gives me a chance to check the underside of the engine and transmission.

Picked her up May 11, 2022. As of today she’s at 15842. A few minor issues that were taken care of by the dealer. Love driving this truck!

Go under the front and re-aim them. Mine were pointed down to about four feet in front of the truck. Also, do the same with the other pair of lights. They were also aimed at the ground. They won’t be the brightest lights, but they will be much better.

They add a lot of weight to the doors. As it is, I can barely keep the truck’s doors open on a hill. Agree with the others that windows would have to be upgraded to ballistic protection. If you could get the assailant close enough though, you could take them out by closing the door on them...

Our family has definitely drank from the Apple pool. Or was it peed in the Apple pool. I forget.

I recently got my update but how do they occur? I know it’s cellular and not over the internet but is it sent out over a certain region? Where all F150’s in a specific area get the update. I can’t wrap my head around how it seems so random on who gets it and who doesn’t.

Check the sticky thread in this forum for “Things to check after taking delivery.” TONS of great information to check on your new truck. I went through the list at the dealer while my wife took care of all the paperwork. After going through the list, go out and enjoy your truck. They are...

No letter from Ford and nothing on the Ford Pass app. Saw someone with an April 2022 build date had the recall so I ran my VIN through NHTSA. The wiper motor recall came up with the flashing running light recall. Although I haven’t had any issues with either problem it says no fix for the...

The other thing to think about with the CAT is that it is HEAVY, 90 pounds. The Eagle 3T is 60 pounds. The 2T is 52 pounds, per their website. That’s a big difference. Maybe not so bad for the garage but lugging that thing in and out of the bed would be a pain in the a$$.

When we bought our Raptor, the dealership tried telling us the Flood Ford ESP was a third party warrantee. I told them they were full of sh@t. Ordered 8 year, 150K, $50 deductible, all the bells and whistles warrantee from Flood the next day and haven’t looked back since. Easy transaction and...
