Raptor is garbage

[Bar]

What a ******* troll. Your Raptor has never seen off road. Here's my guess. 17 year old from MN. No friends and a new iPad.

We need to help him send a pic to this website. Those internets be complicated.

I feel sorry he owns a Raptor, I read this thread at all, his father did not pull out, his mother did not take birth control, I feel sorry mostly because he is a troll...

Wow, I can see here the attitude and I am sorry I spoke my mind and told the truth.

You guys are really interesting. Not sure why your opinion is better than mine, or what makes my attitude ****.. wrong? My truck sucks.. sorry if that offends you. Maybe I should close my eyes and cover them with my hands, then say to myself "raptor is awesome, raptor is awesome" and see if anything gets better.


Do you guys do anything besides wash and wax them?
Do some searching on the problems I have listed, and I am not a troll. I am happy to send a picture of my truck to this website if someone tells me how to do it. I am not lying, I am not here to start trouble.

The FOX shocks suck. All the Raptor guys were just at my shop, bragging how they had to buy 6500$ ICON packages.

In anycase, 7 of the 9 Raptors in Duluth have had the upper control arms replaced at UNDER 30,000 miles. Its a common problem, also why they offer aftermarket control arms.

On you tube, you will get about 30 hits on guys with the heater burning holes in the seat like mine did.

Daves Transmission here in Duluth had to fix my 6 speed GM tranny, when the valve body failed. Benna Ford in Superior, WI didn't know what to do with it.

I have rebuilt shocks my entire life for motorcycles and snowmobiles, not surprised my shocks are leaking.. well I guess I am, considering the truck has never been off road.


Anyone that thinks their RAPTOR has great throttle response is smoking crack. Stab the pedal to the floor and release it, stare at the tach in astonishment when it raises 200 rpm. My 79 chevy plow truck has a faster response.

I was trying to race my buddies Jeep SRT8 two days ago, it was great, I floored the truck and he was GONE before my truck even DECIDED to downshift, then go. Except, sometimes it doesn't downshift.. it just lugs along in whatever gear.

Now if you REALLY drive your trucks, like they are MADE to be driven... A BAJA truck MADE to go 80mph over bumps, then you would know that I am telling you FACTS. Is anyone here going to back me up, or lie to themselves so they don't feel guilty about buying a 50,000$ piece of shi* like I did?


I even mailed Ford a letter.. they wrote back to me and gave me a 200$ gift at the dealership and admitted they have a major upper balljoint problem.
Now how do I send a pic?

well if you came here and said, hey guys, im having these problems..... and acted you know, civil, we wouldnt have the attitude that you startd by comming here and raging like a ********. i have a feeling thats a common occurrence for you. also no one NEEDS Icons... hell i just ran Havoc in the Hills with stock suspension and still on stock perch without issue.

I love it, can I spray my truck with a can of the ANTI GAY spray?


The Raptor is the BEST looking truck alive, that's why I bought it. It rides good, it has a sweet dash and I love the counsel shift which GM doesn't have.

GM has its issues too, I am not biased. GM seats get hotter, cool, but they have no fender clearance for big tires and the trucks look like a tar baby.

I love the posi rear end, EXCEPT its gay that fords programming unlocks it at 15mph.. unless your in off road mode. Whats the point???


Has anyone tried to manual shift their truck yet? Hold it in low gear from a stop sign, like your going to race someone. Go for it, when the tach hits 5000 rpm manually shift into second gear. My raptor wont shift, it sits and bounces off the rev limiter for 2 seconds before it goes to second gear.

My Denali shifts IMMEDATELY into second gear as fast as I can shift it.

These things may seem trivial, but they irritate me and don't belong bogus on a race truck. This truck isn't a Cadillac, its made to be treated like a mans truck.. not a TAR BABY

sp you buy a truck on looks alone? that really is a special kind of stupid, now im understanding your posts alot better.

i have no shifting issues, most people here have no shifting issues, ive ridden with a guy off road who does nothing but manual shift with no issues....

see heres the thing, there are probably 50k+ of these trucks on the road now, the vast majority not having the issues you are.... is it possible you got a bad one in the bunch? i mean it happens.... i have a 2011 and am having none of the issues you are... so who is lying or maybe being overly dramatic? you even had someone on here tell you he had a 2010 and a 2012 and tells you of a difference and you disregard everything he says... i wouldnt (and dont) take you seriously either.

So what the hell do you want us to do about your truck. You do know that a tune voids warrantee in some instances. You can go to any forum ford, dodge chevy, Toyota and there will be somebody just like you have similar issues with there respective vehicles. Sometimes it happens, Unfortunately it sounds like you may have gotten a lemon.

I have not ever owned a Chevy or a dodge and have no desire to do so. I have had fords all my life, I was in the ranger section until 2008. at which time I switched to Toyota. I had a taco. Loved the truck 6 speed tranny, Clutch was horrible, had no grab power. but other then that it was a great little truck. Turnned to small for me after a year and half. at which time I go ta 10 tundra rock warrior, (looks package for off-road) with blisiten shocks fake bead locks and some other yota add ons. Great looking and great truck, Loved. Traded it in on a 11 f150 5.0 miss my tundra in 2 months. But new I wanted a raptor anyway. Just had a wait a bit. But if I have to give up my raptor I will go back to Toyota. I am not an eco boost believer, And the 5.0 is lacking a bit IMO for a scew 4wd.

If you would of come here looking for a solution and help everyone may have been more receptive.
I'm guess you approached our service manager with this same attitude and he told you to go F-off.

My throttle is a little slow out of the hole, when you nail it, it takes about a second to get full throttle. I am going to do some tweeking with the tune. As far as the rest of that stuff, sounds like you may have gotten a bad one. Mine is a 2012, I only have 10K on it and no other issues with it. I run it hard some days, jumped it several times. All I have had to do is rotate tires and change oil.

I hope all you ******* noticed that.
