I am new here and don't even have my ordered Raptor yet so technically I shouldn't be stepping on toes. But being in forums is nothing new for me, been doing that since the 80's. Isn't a forum a place to go to do research and ask others and look for assistance? I think the OP did everything right and asked others here. RW was not helpful and her response would of been offending on any forum. I was somewhat pissed just reading it and I am not even the OP, so no wonder the OP responded back like he did.

Teehee...someone needs some thicker skin, welcome to frf, the snark is no extra charge....
If you don't like me, then put me on ignore.

OP asked a question, and got serious technical answers...apparently he didn't like them so he decided (and here is where I got mad) to bring up the horrifying raptor lean issue to SVT... Can you believe they had the audacity to pretend they have never heard of it? :manos:
Lets see how you feel about mountains and mole hills after the 20th stranger has asked if your frame is bent. Sure, the raptor has issues, (4wd breaking under load, anyone) a lean is not one. We got to speak with SVT in person, and respected their time enough not to bring up crap.Turns out OP was mistaken as several tried to explain, and something was wrong with his bed... As far as you telling me to ****

No............

To the other poster who thinks he has a bed issue, please take the truck to your dealer, could be something wrong with your bed or simply put on wrong... Beds can also shift under hard offroading. Ours shifted at havoc, then somehow shifted itself back...

We also have bedspread.... Wait, has anyone brought up bedspread to SVT? I mean how dare they not have a solution for something we did to our own truck offroading it!

Just kidding, aftermarket fixes already available :wizsmile:

I am just going to ****. This clearly isn't a battle worth trying to win without responding and getting myself in trouble. :)

Most vehicles have a lean

The lean is common among many vehicles particularly ones with solid axels. I would say most automotive forums have a lean thread. Google search any enthusiast vehicle with a solid axel followed by lean and you will find results.

It's around a 215lb difference full tank to empty tank. Some guys even it out real good with their girlfriends riding shotgun. ;-)

2010 SCab here...no lean to report full tank or no. I weight 245lbs for reference. Another reason why #2010raptorisbestraptor

It's just you SCrew guys with your fatty fat fat gas tanks.

I know this is the case because I've measured to make sure. 41.5" at the front on each side. Can't remember what the back was exactly but I know it was even as well
