Most of them hold up well while mall crawling.

He's still stuck in 2010 when that statement mattered

Driving up a wet grass hill in 4 low when the front diff housing casing split - made a hell of a noise too

21 w/ 37 package and 6k -

Impressive!

This is my 4th raptor and I can assure you all the other ones worked much harder before failure.

Nobody’s concerned this post indicates 4 raptors have failed? That’s…unusual.

I use my trucks hard, gen 1 - both gen 2 and the gen 3 have all had some form of failure so far.

My 2017 was the most reliable - the 2019 had issues.

I blew my Gen 1 rear diff up, power steering pump, all 4 shocks and also snapped a rear leaf spring + several broken IWEs.

Also had the climate control ecu fail and other electrical issues.

My 2013 was my least reliable raptor.

Anything man made has the propensity to fail. I bought two new 2001 Super Duties, identical trucks, same color. One was in the shop 127 times and was eventually bought back by Ford. The other was bullet proof and only needed the oil changed. It all boils down to this---

Do you feel lucky...

Sucks about your super duty, but almost none of the major issues with my Gen1 were related to quality control issues.

The only issue related to that was a climate control module which was under warranty.

Mine were due to parts that couldn’t handle the abuse level I required to use the truck for its intended purpose off-road.

My power steering pump, diff, shocks, IWEs, rear leafs, frame - would of lasted much longer if they were used in a street truck environment.

Although you do have to wonder if all those parts failed, the truck may not have been intended for that purpose. I sometimes think we expect more out of these things than they really can handle.
