Finally did it. 2017 Avalanche Grey Raptor in the garage.

[K223]

Welcome aboard. Fine looking Raptor and the rarely seen Avalanche grey. The tranny has a different strategy when it’s not warmed up yet. At times it does throw a shift a bit firmly. But 10 close ratios does have its advantages.

Enjoy that beast.

Congrats. Love the color! Wish Ford did not discontinue it.

The unicorn of colors.

how many miles are on the truck?

74k

Check the firewall, there’s a grommet that is very convenient for running large gauge stereo wires, and it’s very easy to unseat.


@FordTechOne has been trying to school us for years that the transmission behaves a little more rough when cold and when it warms up works just like it should. I agree and honestly I like the 10r80.


I like this guy. he can stay

I feel like an idiot for not looking first before posting. The grommet was loose and a little bit of adjusting and I sealed up the gap. no more warm air. Thank you!

Good to know the harder shifts are normal.

I am a huge fan of the color. It seems like a consensus that most people want this color brought back. I also have a Bronco Wildtrack on order in Cactus Grey. I'm curious to see how similar the colors are whenever it finally shows up.

Congrats on the beautiful Truck. Hands down best looking color ever put on a Raptor. Wish they offered it when I got my 2020...…..
