I have had no problems with my 2019 so far except for a bad module . I did have the cam phaser update 21N03 done.

Ha ha! Didn’t know that was a thing around here. Funny that Ford tech accused me of fabricating or exaggerating but has been silent after I posted threads of others with the exact same issues. Then his bro has fixated on steel vs aluminum discussion. Its all good though. There have been some helpful posts!

Okay, so maybe this is a bit stirring the pot but I honestly think Ford has made a hunk of junk. Issues since purchased new '18:
1. Cam phaser repair #1
2. Cam phaser solenoid replacement
3. Cam phaser repair #2
4. Sunroof replacement
5. Rear door handle falling off
6. Front interior door panel loose
7. Gray paint trim chipping everywhere. Also generally poor quality/coverage trim paint on interior
8. Rear camera failure
9. Aluminum body is basically a soda can. Dont sneeze on it or it dents. Poor quality exterior paint.
10. Terrible interior insulation. Loud road noise in comparison to Trx
11. Horrible rear a/c circulation. Rear passengers always complain
12. The transmission is a joke.
13. Horn went out.
14. Noisy front hub, replaced
15. Solenoid sensor failure
16. Door weather stripping falling off
17. Glove box doesn't close properly
18. Rear seatbelt mechanism failure, replaced
19. Stupid but annoying, the radio changes sources randomly. So sometimes when I start it will be on am or fm even though I always leave it on xm
20. Infotainment unit has frozen about 2 dozen times when driving. Have to do the force restart.
21. One more. The dealership experience.

At least they command a premium on the used market!

Man, did you get the extended warranty package. I can’t imagine not doing that with these sophisticated rides.

Sure did! I think today it is almost mandatory.

You literally just searched for a few random threads that you believe aligned with your claims. I already discussed that there are TSBs for the cam phasers and the sunroof. You denting up your truck and scratching your interior up is your own fault.

Once again, what was the purpose of this thread? To whine like a little cry baby and look for sympathy? It’s downright pathetic.

yep, searched for people having same issues you said were fabricated or exaggerated. For example, you said the trim paint is great. There is a whole thread of same complaints so not alone in that feeling. Same for rear ac. Point of this thread was to discuss those of us that have had a myriad of issues not just a thread discussing one issue. If you are a ford tech, i can understand your frustrations!

You don’t understand anything. You’re grasping at straws by digging up threads to try and justify your ridiculous assertions.

You damaged your truck. Get over it and move on. Nobody wants to read about your frivolous complaints.

That's not really fair to say at this point with the forum, at one time I would 100% agree with you, there was some low life's (girl friends) picking on new members for no real reason. Yes one or two guys can sometimes get brutal with their language still, but it is rare on the forum these days. This thread in my opinion is more of some forum members defending the Raptor which is because this is a Raptor forum. The OP isn't a bad guy, he appears to have come on too strong with his opinions of his current ride, probably because he had a bad dealership and maybe he got bitter about his truck because of it. We've all been in that position and learned from it. I learned from it before the internet was a thing, so here we are.... that's my take and I enjoy the back and forth banter, as long as it's not personal, that's why I'm here.

Your position is I damaged my truck? Thats a stretch! Certainly have no control over the known issues like sunroof and cam phasers. If you want to blame me for things like trim and door dings, ok. Didn’t know it was such a soft vehicle. I used my truck like a truck. Hauling moutain bikes and lumber, baseball gear and teams, off roading in Utah and Colorado and dragging around ski gear. Next one I will make sure is a garage queen so it lasts longer.
