New here, 3rd Raptor

View media item 14833Hey everyone! Picked up my ‘20 Peformance Blue with the blue accent interior 2 weeks ago. Had a lemon return on the dark grey ‘17...
Had bronze Methods with 37”s using Icon collars up front and leaf spacers in the rear. Kept the wheels/tires to put on the new truck and donated the suspension mods back to ford. Hated the ride, just never felt right.
I’m planning on putting Eibach springs and Icon RXT leafs so I can get the Methods and 37s on. Can’t wait to see the bronze on the blue truck!!

Nice man! What year was your first one?

On the 17, what was so bad about it that they took it back?

Congrats. Hopefully this truck will be much better.

first one was a 2010. My company at the time made parts that went in the FoxShox so we just had to get one!

The 2017...
SYNC system had to be replaced
Front left wheel bearing crapped out
Transmission replaced
Water pump
That was the last straw at 40k miles

Ford made it right tho and we’ve had 15+ Fords without many issues at all, (My DD is a 2013 Fusion with 150k+ miles and it’s never had anything but regular service), so we’re giving them another chance with the ‘20 Raptor.

I’m surprised they lemon’d it with that many miles and different issues, instead of the same problem showing up again and again. Either way enjoy the 20!
