    10R80 issues - P0C29

    Its still one of the most ponderous details in the F150 maintenance world. How the heck does the dealer get the temp up to 206-215? Hook it up to a 7000lb uhaul and drive it up a man made hill out back, let it idle for 2 hours, power brake it for 5 mins, do donuts in a field? lol Its...

    Raptor R realistic fuel economy expectations

    7.1 haha. Was that out on a dry lake bed or something? Starbucks runs have got to be better than 7.1. :driver:

    Gen3.5 specific forums?

    That’s some Nostradamus $&*% right there. Probably 5K off MSRP too.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    I get companies have to package things to make production easier, but if they made all the 37 features a la carte, Id have grabbed 1-2 of them. There is no reason they couldn't have done a 35 and 37 R, other than to make a lot more money.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    This is exactly what i would have ordered. Probably less ADM associated with a model like that too. Ventilated seats are non negotiable though in south east Texas. The swamp ass is strong down here.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    Sort of, until you add on the 9K+ option package to make it feature comparable to the 35 model. For some reason Ford got rid of the actual base Raptor.

    Gen 2.875 was definitely when the cam phasers were fixed.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    It won't matter how many MPFs you get, each fart would be probably 150 bucks per fart. Synthetic unicorn farts using solar power, would be 700-800 per fart.

    37" tire guidance please!

    I ended up going with some +25 Methods, pushes the tires out a little but nearly stock. I've had rubbing issues on 3 other vehicles with bigger tires and I'm not going down that road again.

    Gen3.5 specific forums?

    Imagine if a 3.5 gen forum was created...then in 26-27 (assuming there is a 27) they make even bigger changes before the gen 4....gen 3.75?

    The 2024 37" Package Ripoff

    Yeah I wouldn’t try a 37 Nitto MT or something on a 35 truck. Im sure it’s been done, but I sure wouldn’t do it.

    GooseTuned Gen 3 - Baseline Dyno Runs vs Gen 2 Baseline!

    lol, in Houston during the months of June-October Im heat soaked just pulling outta the driveway. It’s always kinda amazed me how ineffective the stock intercooler is, I get some wild charge temps during the summer. Even going HWY speeds doesn’t do much. How much effect do those shutters have...

    Gen3.5 specific forums?

    There are subtle differences every single year of Raptor production. I have yet to see a 24 Raptor….or maybe I have. Most of the functional differences between 23-24 are part of an option package(s). If all the changes were across the board, there might be an argument for it. There is no way...

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    Yeah not a giant hybrid fan, but these mild hybrids have sure made straight sixes more of a thing lately making packaging easier with electrifying the accessories. At least thats what Mercedes did.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    I want to say from the press material the RHO is still the full time AWD/4hi 4low setup as the TRX.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    I looked for a while on the interwebs and couldn't find a test from any generation.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    They fixed the SCAB in 2016 …at least on the driver side…for the small overlap test. All SCAB gen 2s should have those fixes. The side impact though, B pillars are nice. The frame adjustments with the Raptors would be interesting to see if they make a crash test difference. I wonder how that...

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    If i remember right the SCAB was only very slightly lighter. That missing B pillar needed a lot of extra strengthening to keep it from totally failing the offset crash tests which it did initially. Ill take a SCREW… That test right there will never have me in a SCAB.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    There is no reason ford would make the “skip 2 years” mistake again. All that did was make the initial 2017s insanely marked up and gen 1 resale values stay strong. None of those things makes ford money, selling 2 extra years of raptors does.

    What's next for Ford Raptor now that Ram came out with the RHO?

    I just don’t understand why the raptor doesn’t have that bed payload gauge thing. Definitely could have used that more than a few times.

    Yeah the green is growing on me….Ive yet to see a 24 raptor of any color in person. I want to see a green one….welcome!

    Selling My Raptor

    That’s some pretty low miles for a 2018, should pull some good cash. I assume 802a and 4 door SCREW?

    Selling My Raptor

    Oh boy…you need 100 posts to sell stuff…but if you need pricing advice post some photos and more information. I really should stay out of this one….

    2024 Incredibly Thin Paint

    I know we all talk %*^& about Toyota on here, but I remember the older sequoias actually had 100lbs of paint on them. Don’t fact check me lol… sounds ridiculous ,but some old j a p SUVs had incredible paint.
