Rattle Traps?

[Jerryballs]

Just curious of those of you who actually off road with your raptors on a fairly regular basis...how is the interior holding up? interior door panels etc? are there annoying rattles that develop? I just sold a dodge mega cab long bed with a KORE kit on it and that interior bugged (squeaks/rattles) me to death....I know, I know...I am being a bit of a ******...but I would like to keep it in decent shape for a while.

I just want to use the raptor for what it was made to do...and not have to lose the luxury completely of a nice truck.

Thanks in advance...

Surprising enough it is holding up well. I was like you wondering when things would squeak, get loose or fall off. I have 28,000 miles and still tight as the day I picked her up. And yes, she has been off road a lot.

Thats great to hear! I had a really tricked out dodge cummins that was very capable, It looked amazing on the outside but the inside sounded like an old rusty truck. I was pretty sure thats just what happens when you take it to baja a couple times a year.

Hearing this makes me feel even better about my purchase, I can't wait to see what this truck can do.

Thanks!

I don't go off road at all and my dash rattles and my headliner rattles. Drives me up a wall!!!


Already been in once for the dash. It's doing it again.

My passenger seat squeaks but i wouldn't trade my experiences offroad for a truck that didn't squeak

Ditto max! My driver's side rear door sounds like it is about to fall off!!!!

40,000 miles on mine and have done 4 Anza borrego trips, probably a dozen Pismo Beach trips and a few other random places.. I don't have any rattles or noises so far.

Dodges rattle when you drive em off the lot. The raptor I'm sure if it's like other f150's will be much nicer.

Every Dodge owner I have known since the '60's has had radio knobs, door handles and other interior crap falling off. That's why they are still cheaper to buy, I guess. Big engine and cheap interior. You can't put a lift kit on a Hemi and make it a Raptor. Hehe
You will love this truck when you get her in the dirt. Very very capable!

If you have the scab, make sure your back doors are closed firm. Mine sometimes don't get closed hard enough, and when the front door closes on it, the lights and everything still go off. When you go down a gravel/rough road though, it could drive you insane.
