Things to check after taking delivery

[Turning Blue]

Im newer here so Ill ask my question. Just picked up my 2023 a few weeks ago. I plan to purchase an extended warranty from Flood once my factory 3/36 runs out. The cost increase to buy then is so minimal, it doesn't make sense for me to buy it today.

BUT! Im on the fence about the maintenance plan. Flood has a 5 year 60k full synthetic maintenance plan for $1525. Thats $127 per visit. Im new to these trucks, and have always changed my own oil on previous cars. But I want to stick with the factory on this guy. How much should I expect to pay for a full synthetic oil change for this? Is it the general consensus that buying the maintenance plan is cheaper in the long run? I assume it covers all maintenance items, not just oil changes?

If you're planning on keeping the truck a long time, and you know you want an extended warranty, you may want to purchase your plan before 12 months of ownership. There is a price increase after 12 months of ownership. There can also be other price increases.

Oh, there will be other price increases. It’s right there in red print, middle of the page so you can’t miss it. I think they increase prices quarterly…don’t quote me on that.

So I think everyone sees how ALL prices are going up… you think the oil change in 2 years is going to be what it is today? Something to think about

Thats a valid point. At this rate, oil changes will be $400 in 2 years

Seat cusions driver/passenger were not clipped in underneath. Console side of both seats were just hanging there ,door sides were clipped but only half way . Was tough to get my hand in there (probably why they gave up on it at the factory) but was able to put some weight on top of the seat to make it easier to clip it together. Nice and tight now . You will need a good light and something heavy to sit on the seat.

Just picked up my first Raptor a couple weeks ago, by far my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned/driven. So far nothing major but spotted this today when I got home from work. Anyone have any idea what it is? Found it dangling near the front driver side tire. Looks like there’s a plastic rivet to secure it and just shook loose but can’t figure out where. Thanks in advance!

Hard to tell for sure but I think it is a vent hose. It should be clipped up higher, it probably fell down, I feel like there is a thread somewhere here regarding that.

 

[jayb0ne315]

Spot on, thanks! Seems to be the front diff vent tube. I’m assuming run it up and secure it high in the engine bay

 

[So-Cal-Al-52]

Yes, I would have to look up where, but it should clip up high and out of the way.

Picked up my 23: previously reported rusty pumpkin and paint scratches down to the metal on both front doors. Not letting dealer “fix it” however.

“Not letting dealer ‘fix it’ however”…sounds like there’s something else going on with that particular dealer. Plan on fixing it yourself?
