New Member New Hampshire

[TexasTude]

New Member in New Hampshire. Texan by birth...Living In New England (It's a woman's fault)
2 time Raptor owner, former Jeep fanboy until I bought a Gen 2 and there was no looking back.
Currently own a 2021 Leadfoot Gen 3, traded the Gen 2 for same price I paid for it in 2018 so it was a no brainer.
Here looking for ideas, tips and tricks and community.
Anyone else ever wonder, in the darkness of night what Ford engineers were smoking when they decided to put a tailgate pop on a remote? Don't do Drugs kids!

Welcome and congrats on the Gen 3. Well that ain’t new if you talking Gen 3. As that as an option on the Gen 2. Was convenient for loading, but it’s an accident on siting to happen. At least with the Gen 3 you can power close by remote too?

New Hampshire, “Live Free or Die” ???

Enjoy that truck!

Welcome to the place. Congrats on your Prius. When and if you ever do actually buy a Raptor, post a pic of it. Wait until @smurfslayer gets here with your provisional pics.

The new girl in my life. With the decked system and Line-x completed.
@K223 I actually had my tailgate drop on my Genm2 while towing a trailer. Luckily for me my service manager was awesome and got Ford to repair it on their dime.
I believe it was my fault as the key might have been in my pocket. not sure. But I still think its a brain dead idea.
And ya, the new tailgate lifts too automatically. I have that feature turned off.
I still use my truck as a truck

I will post my first love too.
The Corsa exhaust turned out to be a bit overly aggressive.
No sneaking up on favorite hunting spots with this girl.
My wife does custom Vinyl as a hobby so I replicated Eddie to the new Raptor but used grey this time.
She is making me a Raptor *********** on a T Rex with the T rex eyes bugging out and bent over.....I will post it once she is done

Wow that’s something I never want to see brother. A girl with a big pipe sticking out lol

You have and have had a couple of nice girls. Very nice indeed. Well if they allow you to disable the tailgate remote release then that’s most of the worry gone. I was first worried about hitting that release while backed up against a wall. I still play it careful. They could have used the rear radar sensors to play gatekeeper and allow or disallow based on what’s behind you. Get on Fords next customer questionnaire and let them know.

Have fun

I was parked backed up close to a wall one time and accidentally opened the tailgate right into the wall. Thought I was clicking the remote start button... dang it. No injuries reported, thankfully. Congrats on the gen3, one of my favorite colors for it too!
