Concerns with new 2020 truck

[richnot]

normal mode + stability control/traction control.

KO2’s are easy to spin in 2h.
when you cut the wheels, the truck is applying sciencey things to your driving to keep you from spinning the wheels, getting sideways, both and to just generally cut down on the amount of fun you can have.

Seriously, try gassing it in normal mode, 2h in a turn. Heck, even 4a normal.

I have the same issue leaving my old gym; 90 degree right turn on to a 6 lane divided hwy. That place was seriously overcrowded with lots of unwashed peasants in their peasant bmws and lexus( what is the plural of lexus anyway? ). if you don’t hit the gas hard, you’re parked there for hours on end. Even in 4a, I can induce enough spin to have stability control spank me for having too much fun. On DRY PAVEMENT !

But, I can feel it chop power until my wheels are almost perfectly straight. If I did it right, I don’t get the dreaded 100% power cut.

I`m not sure but the plural might be Lex-ass`s

I had the same issue with the delay. I switched to sport mode and it was way better. However, I did not want the high rev constantly before it shifts and the suspension to be in sport mode all the time. Unfortunately, you can't change the suspension settings independently like the steering. There is a time for sport mode but is shouldn't have to be all the time. I bought a Pedal Commander, set it a city +2 in normal mode and the issue was 95% better. When I do put it sport mode, I usually turn off the Pedal Commander with a simple push of a button. So, the issue for me was the throttle mapping in normal mode, not turbo lag. Pedal Commander fixed that. It may not be for everyone, but it has greatly improved my experience.

I unplugged the small bottom plug under the dash . I did the same thing on my 2018 F150 and used it like that for over a year with no issues (I do not do any towing or anything). This stops it from cutting off. It is not really disabling it but more unplugging a feature that bypasses that as an option (or so it was explained to me). Hope that makes sense.

I would try plugging this back in and see what happens.

At 450 miles, the Ac compressor internally failed. New compressors are on backorder more than a month away. My dealer said they have 4 new rigs in the service waiting on 1-4 month back ordered parts for Raptor and Expeditions (tranny issue) I do not have the warm fuzzies about this truck so far!

Hi Guys, I’ve got a 2017 Raptor and the same exact problem. The second thing I did after the dual catch can was a Pedal Commander. Been on for over three years and it takes all the hesitation out. There’s like 32 different settings but I like the Sport mode.
Good luck.

At least you can drive it without AC. I'd be thrilled if that was my situation. Mine's been sitting for over a month waiting for parts and it's looking like two more weeks at best, but likely longer. What really ****** me off is that Ford has the parts, but the bean counters in charge would rather book revenue than take care of customers. I have never in my life had worse customer service than I've gotten from Ford. And their tracking and inventory systems? They can't find their ass with either hand, they think some parts might have started this way as of 8/7 but they're not sure and they don't know where they might be going and it will be a couple of weeks if one does have my name on it. Really? It's unbelievable. Document everything. You'll need it if you want to force them to buy it back. It may not help your warm fuzzies, but there are two other Raptors in the long-term lot with mine.

I have a 2020 Raptor and I am experiencing a few things that concern me. I first thing is a delay when I press the gas pedal. Almost caused me a wreck. It happens every time I stop and give it gas real good.... A delay then it picks up. Another strange thing is the fuel economy bar on my cluster fluctuates a good bit (the bar moves up and down on flat road and on cruise). I had a 2018 F150 and it didn't do this.

Is there a way to see if there are any issues with these trucks that others are experiencing or any TSBs for this year truck?

Any help you could give me would be appreciated. Thank you

His that happened with straight front wheel?
at raptor assault,with front wheel turn, in crawl mod, the truck have to think for one second.

The turbo does seem to be a bit "ON and OFF" rather than a more progressive power delivery in my 2020 also.
