Fake news?? TFLTruck had it on quiet mode and you couldn't hear anything in the cab.

What in the wide wide world of sports was Ford thinking when they decided to keep this stupid sound augmentation crap in the cab.....SMDH

Augmented exhaust in the cab was confirmed. Forscan here we come!

Absolutely NOT fake news smdh!

Awesome. He was getting it the last minute. That would surely spill some lattes

I'm a (hopefully soon) new Raptor owner. How does the Gen2 augmented exhaust work? Is it an always on type of thing coming through the speakers with no adjustment? Does it automatically change with say radio volume &/or drive modes?

These trucks really wake up with just a tune. I also live 400above sea level. I don't like TFLs device (GPS guided) I trust something that plugs directly into the OBD port that can analog the times. The GPS is always going to have a minor delay, maybe not much but when it comes to speed it matters.

Agreee on tune... a good transmission strategy makes one of the biggest improvements imo. Hoping someone can crack the new PCM encryption... or we will be out of luck.

Is it really that big of a deal? Manufacturers have done it for years. If you don't want piped in noise, buy a TRX and go way faster

Did Ram do anything like this First Drive Event when they released the TRX?? I don't recall anything but I may have missed it. This question goes out to anyone that can answer it.

In my opinion it's very subtle. People always made a big deal outta it and in saying that it never bothered me. It's not like if you turn your audio up it's going to blast eng notes. It's pretty tame and if you listen to the radio you won't notice it at all, at least i don't.

Livernoise already tuned a 2021 f150. It can be done.

LOL not a big deal but I'm a purist and want to hear the actual engine versus what is being piped in. The engine sound, I believe, is important in any high performance vehicle when you are off-roading. Maybe you just floor it and hold on but I prefer to finesse it and use the engine power to my advantage and hearing it helps to let me know I'm in peak power. To each is own and BTW my Ford Focus doesn't pipe in any engine sounds LOL!
