No complaints here. I can't even complain about the brakes because they are 10X better than the brakes on my 92 Bronco.
Fit and finish is good, less orange peel than normal. I'm happy.

There was a thread on break upgrades I can't seem to find now...

For those with complaints on breaks, are they poor under normal driving conditions or just in performance situations like off-road, racing, etc.?

My three main complaints:

1. Brake Feel - long pedal travel and soft feeling. I thought the Gen 1's brakes had great feel, though they would fade easy...completely understandable as a 6.2K lb truck. The brakes have enough stopping power but they juts feel soft...

2. Once iPhone disconnects from truck (turning truck off and exiting vehicle) it always goes to the loudest ringer setting instead of previous set setting.

3. The Auto dim feature for the gauges and sync system is too quick to go dark/dim when it's still bright out and the truck is in the shade. Most annoyed at this...my Gen 1 had no issues with this and I was always impressed with how it was.

I don't have my raptor yet but wish it would keep the same driving mode when the vehicle was shut off... i.e.: Sport Mode. Already hate the on/off feature and I haven't even experienced it yet. One more month.

On item number 2, I have the same issue. Here is a workaround. On the iPhone, go to settings, sounds and haptics. Under ringer and alerts, slide the change with buttons option off. That worked for me. Now I don't get scared $hitless when my phone rings!

Thanks! I'll give it a try. I hope either Apple or Ford figure out why it is doing this...

The ringer has been scaring the $hit out of me too!

You can turn off the auto dim for the display. And has anyone noted there moon roof leaking? Mine is going to the shop tomorrow to get looked at cause water is leaking inside.

No leakers. Lots of rain and power washer. What is your build date? I think there were some reported issues with the earlier productions?
