2017 F-150 Raptor - Owner first impressions and review thread!

[Kenny008]

I would have to say, I am not a fan of the bed graphics, but the only trucks they seem to look good on are the blue and magnetic. Great looking truck. Congrats.

Thanks! I actually picked up this allocation after someone else dropped his. It is almost exactly what I would have ordered myself, except for the graphics. I can live with or without, but you're right; I think they look best on the blue.

What kind of rim was on it?

It's the beadlock rim. Looks just like the other 4.

Maybe no TPMS sensor?

Maybe. Not sure how to check that.
I have had lots of other cars that had no TPMS sensor. Hasn't limited those .
Maybe it messes with the electronics if there's no sensor?

You are correct, Darin. It says in the manual, the only difference on the spare tire is that it's sans the sensor.

Thanks, Darin and Paw. Still not sure why that makes the spare a limited use.
More just curiosity than anything else.

Well after having mine for about 24 hours I can safely say, auto-stop start is the biggest pain in the ass I've ever seen.

Can you disable it?

Can you disable it?

yes. there is a button on the upper middle dash. You have to do it everytime the vehicle is restarted though.

What a pain. Why install such a dumb feature on a truck like this lol.

I agree there should be a permanent disable, but I just don't see why this is such a pain. When I get in a vehicle my hands are all over the center stack adjusting temp, volume, radio... just one more button.

That is ridiculous. It's one thing to offer a feature, another to force it down our throats. My porsche has this feature but when you turn it off it stays off even when the vehicle is shut off and restarted. That's annoying to have to push the button every time.

Hard to understand why folks are getting so worked up over a feature like this or having to push a button. Jumper the damned button so it is always closed and you're done.

I actually look forward to the gas savings it will provide.
