Looking for a G2 SCREW, got a blue 2020

[LittleLebowski]

I know I want 802A. I have a 2018 F150 3.5 XLT I love, so I think I know what I'm getting into. How common is the Recaro seats option? I know to ask for maintenance records regarding the cam phasers. Do all Raptors with 802A have the subwoofer behind the left rear seat?

Recaros I believe are on the ’19-’20 models only. Factory sub location is behind the rear passenger side seat. You should try to find a truck without the moonroof.

Lots of problems with the moonroofs?

Same question here, I had issues with my moonroof 3 years ago and never messed with since.

Without proper maintenance, yes. Plus, it's just another thing that can go wrong. I've had them on a '20, '22', and '23 Raptors all problem free. Additionally, I have a few work trucks with them and they've all been problem free, maintained with Krytox PTFE based lubricant.

My 2019 fell through,someone else bought it. Sure is hard finding magnetic or lead foot in my price range.

THIS. There is so much surface contact area between glass and gasket that over time it collects debris, and begins to stick. The longer you go between opening it, the greater the resistance the glass & sticking gasket (the rubber seal) has. If you try to move the glass rearward in this condition, it will break the tracks 100% of the time.

Routine maintenance will prevent this from happening and a workaround of popping the glass open to the VENT position FIRST, to ‘break’ the seal, then moving it rearward will generally keep you out of trouble. Doing both regular Krytox grease application and popping to vent will keep you out of the weeds.

My major complaint with it is one of bitterness. I bought in early 2017 and the only MSRP deal I could land was an 802a with the moon roof. It was 2 grand I didn’t want to or need to spend - and it did break because I wasn’t aware just how often you need that glass / rubber re-greased.

Should be easy to find lead foot for much less money since you’ll have to paint it anyway ;-)

LOL Or lots of maintenance. Choose one. It also reduces payload by 15-20%. But the weight is up high, right where it hurts performance. But they're expensive. Other than that, they're great!

Great info, thanks for sharing.

Negotiating right now on a blue 2018 with 802A and only 35k miles.
