Post all your 2017 rap problems here please..

[Huck]

My lariat had the same problem. Very random but mostly while slow speed ot coming to stop. Ford denied it was a problem till many started complaining to NTSB. Master cylinder had to be replaced.

Did you originally want AG? Lol. That sucks. These just keep getting worse and worse.

I do not like:

1. Gear holding in sport. Refuses to upshift after stopping acceleration for like 5-10 seconds just holding 5,000rpm stupidly forever. Cannot do it manually without gear shifter to manual and then upshifting.

2. Have to toggle sport every startup

3. Truck struggles to put down power with any bumps in the road (and in Michigan there are lots) in 2wd. It's probably a function of not enough weight over rear axel and no independent rear suspension, but it jumps and skips and slides in corners and/or under any decent power. This is my first truck so maybe that is how they all are, but it is disappointing.

In sport, the truck is deliberately trying to keep rpms around 2k rpms and up and it’s anticipating that you mean to cane the truck so it will hold RPMs pretty diligently. I’ve had the ‘won’t upshift’ condition once, but haven’t been able to replicate it.

WRT#3... I’ve travelled through and around Detroit... all I can say is: Respect. Those roads suck. The Raptor does not like severely broken pavement, manhole covers, etc. The corner bump / skipping is normal for an offroad oriented truck.

+1 on the wont upshift, it makes me not use sport mode, it does it all the time to me when you accellerate hard and then want to maintain a speed. My wifes explorer sport does the exact same thing.

I haven't driven a Gen 2 yet so can't say if this has been exacerbated by the lighter aluminum bed but, ultimately, what you are describing is a characteristic of pickup trucks.

Things that help: 1) running your rear tires at a lower psi, 2) installing a set of progressive rear leaf springs. Also, any weight you can add back there helps. Keep a full tank of gas, add a tonneau cover, a rubber bed mat, your floor jack, etc.

I had a 2011 screw ecoboost f150 with an extra leaf in the rear and the electronic locker and the rear handled beautifully. The raptor is kinda the opposite in the rear....

The Gen1 had the same issues with paint coverage on the bottom of the doors! Mine did. They should fix it under warranty, if they give you a tough time about it ask for the customer service phone number and that should help.

^ Good reason to get Avalanche Gray. You can't tell if they didn't fully paint it and any paint chips will be pretty much the same color as the rest of the truck.
