2300 Miles and OIL everywhere

[Ruger]

Because nobody ever had any issues with a Gen1.

I didn't. I have 72,500 miles on my 2011 GEN1 SCAB, and aside from a warranty driveshaft replacement to correct a fault in the slip joint, I've had no problems whatsoever.

What's your point, if you have one? The litany of GEN2 problems being reported here on FRF is completely unlike the GEN1 experience.

 

[NASSTY]

Correct. Just wait until your gen 2 ecopoop misfires and stutters like your ecopoop f150.

I owned an early build 2011 and a 2014 and never had an issue with either of them so I'm not worried about it happening to my 2017....But, keep on trolling.

My point is if you go to the Gen1 section you'll also see that they aren't completely trouble free either. But the Jen1 guys come to the Gen2 section and any time they see someone with an issue they swoop in like vultures to talk shit about Gen2's.

Picture of the gap in the precise Ford manufacturing process for the bed. & I was worried about the Bedlocker leaking..... Guess I need to get out the caulk gun to seal up the bed first. Unreal, I came from a Tundra so I'm not use to stuff like this. Not saying Toyota does not have problems too, I just never had any and I never had to take my truck into any service department for the Tundra. Replaced rear end at 167k miles but out of warranty so my shop did it.

Oh. You might have actually said that.

You're kind of new to FRF (roughly 6 months and less than 500 posts), but I might as well ask you since you have an objection. Is there an FRF prohibition against GEN1 owners participating in GEN2 posts, and vice-versa? I don't know of one. I'd think that owners with years of experience with Raptors might be of some value to you new owners. Granted I didn't offer Raptor wisdom here, but I have done so many times to both GEN1 and GEN2 owners. I've been on FRF since May 2011 and have posted over 5,000 times. I've provided step-by-step descriptions of modifications to my truck numerous times (frame bolster, transmission pan, differential cover, CAI, etc.) My efforts here have been recognized with over 3,500 "likes." No value there? I'm just a vulture?

Okay, you win. Congratulations!

Whoa, wait a minute before you deploy the caulking gun. You don't want prevent your truck bed from draining. It's supposed to. You don't want water sloshing around in the bed in a rain storm, and you do want water to drain off when you wash your rig. If that gap is between the floor and front (cab) wall of the bed of your truck, I've got a gap there too on my 2011. I don't think that's a design flaw. If it was, Ford would have addressed it in the ensuing six years.

Just give it time. This is a completely new truck for Ford and everyone knows that there always tends to be glitches and issues with the first year, hence why some buyers stay away until things get worked out. Ford is learning.

I personally am waiting until 2019 before I consider letting go of my GEN1 and start looking at a GEN2.

It is in front of the rear passenger tire wheel well. The drivers side is not like that at all. Going to show it to Ford tomorrow while they are looking at oil leak. Just installed power tonneau cover so not worried about making a pool in the bed. I just expected more for my $70K. May not be a design flaw but this one is not right. I can only speak about my truck and I hope other trucks are not like this.

Engine, drive-train & suspension I agree is all new, but this cab and bed? Not so sure.

Guess they had two years to work on an aluminum bed or is the raptor bed any different in the way it was constructed in comparison? Not sure on the cab.

If anyone knows how to break a bed, I've done it.

FWIW, my Raptor has a thin gap on both sides of the bed. I also have a tonneau cover, but when I need to hose down the bed after it carries a load of gravel/dirt/mulch/etc, the gaps help drain the bed. My Tacoma and Silverado both had drain holes drilled into the bed floor instead of side gaps. Not sure which I prefer...

How many miles on yours and build date?
