My 2013 Roush Raptor lasted 34 miles pics inside
As some of you know I ordered a 2013 Raptor waited 16 weeks and picked it up last Saturday. Dealer was closing so I left on a Dealer tag and was going to finish paperwork this week. I drove it home and with 34 miles on odometer it began to leak coolant from the rear of the engine. After taking it back to the dealer Monday Roush said to check various hoses and still no leak. Ford said to pull the transmission and look on back of engine.
Well there she be. A bad casting or crack in the block. Roush said it was Ford's problem and Ford said it was Roush's problem. Needless to say Roush is picking the truck up next week to take it back. So sad I really liked the truck, but definitely not buying it.
The red oval is the area leaking. The red circle looks like a crack in the block.
I bought a 2013 F350 King Ranch instead. I needed the truck to pull a 8,000 - 9,000 lb trailer anyway. Something happens for a reason I guess.

The reason Ford did not want to cover the block is because Roush drills a hole in the block for water drainage a few inches from the defect. It is what it is...

Your Rubi can't weigh anywhere near 8-9,000 lbs. so you must be towing something else with it.
