Official 2024 Raptor R Order & Delivery Thread

Is it possible to put on deployable running boards on the R?

Figure it's basically the same as a normal f150.

Yes, but do you really like the looks?

Has anyone installed AMP XL power retractable steps on their Raptor?

I like the look and cool factor of the AMP power retractable steps. The XL versions have an extra 3 inch drop for lifted trucks which as a short person I would find beneficial. Besides the $2200-$2500 price any drawbacks with reliability or loss of ground clearance? Would ground clearance...

Not 100% sure but I’d think yes, I know I’ve seen guys put the AMP research power side steps on Gen 2s, cans are same as any other F150!under that area

Sometimes they are doing you a favor "beating" on it. Full throttle break-in is the best thing you can do for a performance engine.

You only get one chance to push those new relatively rough-edged piston rings solidly into the cylinder walls before they get honed smooth by the walls under a bunch of low load usage.

Breaking in a new engine for the first X-number of miles like your dad did with his no-rollers-anywhere engine is a recipe for blowby and oil consumption. Let the oil come up to temp, and any new engine with roller everything is ready to eat.

That doesn't really apply to the transmission and axle gears- they'd be better off with the easy break-in, but they'll survive it.

I agree with the too may farts thing though.

Their already broken in from the factory.. before installing the predator engine in a vehicle- they run it in a dyno room, Anand take it to redline. It's broken in.

True, I think break in is mostly for all the other moving components on the truck.

Yea, I have the AMP ones on my TRX and I like the looks TBH. But on the Raptor I don't know if the look fits like it does on the TRX.

One thing I like about the OEM step is that it blocks a lot of crap from splashing up the sides. I don't mine the dirt and mud, but they also block most of the rocks/pebbles unless they are real small and I am unlucky enough that they find a way through the small holes in the step. Post up some pics if you get them.....

They also work well for stopping door dings
