Since getting my 2020. The excited feeling pressing that start button is the same as when I drove it off of the lot. I've had zero issues other then the glovebox appears to have been pulled out of a $10,000 Kia and installed in my Raptor.

The only thing I've done to it thus far was add the Borla S exhaust. When the winter wraps up I'm having the bead rings matched to the body color and having LED's installed in the grill. I like having clear openings on the ends of the bumper.

I thought I would miss the Tundras after being in them for the last 13 years, but it's not even remotely!!

Just about the same here on my 2019. Little over a year, and I still love it.

Well... except for one tiny thing. Around 12,000 miles (13,500 currently) it just up and developed some rattles. Like 3 or 4 of them, and I can't track them down for the life of me.

Seriously. At 12k it was like there was a secret switch hidden in the truck labeled "rattles" and someone flipped it.

Man I hate rattles. Someday I'll find them, maybe...

I hit my one year on 12/31. Many issues, but still love it and have zero plans to trade it.
I’ve said it before... what else would I drive? A Chevy???

I’m thinking about doing the Borla S type. How do you like it after a year of driving?

Was thinking of doing the same but I'm wondering if Borla will make a equal length pipe system like what Ford did with the Gen 3.

I absolutely love it. It has just enough "pop" to wake the neighbors across the street on those cold morning starts when the garage door opens up. And I love the growl it has when getting on it in Sport mode. There's literally zero drone when you're at cruising speed in Normal.

Do you have the pano roof? Could be that and you have to maintain it and it should be quiet. Some of the plastics inside can creek.

NEED to get in the habit of a) ALWAYS popping roof up in “vent” position prior to doing the one touch full slide back opening position & this is especially important the first time you’re using it for the day or after sitting extended period of time & b) every 6-12 months depending on where you live (w/ all the salt pollen dirt dust we get from different seasons in in New England 2x a year is def best) - clean the weather stripping & plastic tracks- wipe weather stripping down w/ damp mildly soapy cloth, I also suck up some debris w/ shop vac or blow w/ compressed air, then lube the weatherstripping & surrounding metal opening in roof w/ krytox & also use a small amount of some lubricant on tracks/pivot points....I think there’s a specific lube from Ford for that as well but I just use dry lithium grease or graphite etc def not as important as using the krytox brand stuff on the other parts

I’m confident that’ll keep it quiet & working properly for long time

that being said....on my 2nd raptor & have no roof

Exactly! Learned to pop and exercise it to keep it all healthy. I lubed the tracks and inside strips with synthetic grease. But I have experienced creeking at times on my ‘19. Best suggestion that worked was using 3 in 1 synthetic oil squeezed around the seal of the rear fixed part of the roof. Just let it creep in and amazingly so it eliminated that creeking noise. I can only guess it lets the glass and weather strips more loosely float inside the roof itself. Or it’s the glass mounts to the metal roof that can cause noise. Go figure.
