Will it fit?

[6.2]

Good to know, thanks for the info! Wouldn't think it would be any wider, can anyone confirm it?

Well it does specifically say in the owners manual NOT TO GO THROUGH CAR WASHES. Might be a hint. I guess

Luckily the service manager was there to witness the entire thing, so he says they will replace my rims of my truck. (Called FORD and the cost is 507 ish per rim). Damage was only to the back two rims. Just a warning stay away from car washes with a track. I guess my 2011 Super Crew Raptor is a little wider than the 2010 Super Cab. Pics below.

I think the wheels are only $328 on line. Tell him about them being less on line and see if he will let you keep your wheels that are scraped up. It sucks but everyone says do not take it through one. Guess we now know why.

The local car wash here is a newer facility and it runs a single track so the width isn't an issue. Apparently, they've had other Raptors through without any problems.

Good to know, I always hand wash my rigs however. I still can't get over how wide this truck is.


Whats with the guy in the video saying, around 7:47, that the Raptor isn't for rock crawling and if you want to crawl get a Dodge Power Wagon?!

Where do you take your around here?

Just got my rims replaced today. After further inspection of my Raptor I do believe the back wheels stick out just a bit wider than the front. Who knew.

I wash it at home or to a self car wash. Best self one I goto is on gratiot just north of 12mile on the west side by Sherwin Williams.

There are those no touch washes right in town where I live. they do the best job I have ever seen. No brushes or dryers and when you get home, the car is dry, no spots, and even that road grime that most pressure washers alone can't get, it gets off.
But, they have these metal tubes on the ground to help keep you centered, and I wasn't sure if I would fit. So I drove up before paying, and the truck is just to wide... If I drove up on one side I would fit, but IDK about that.

Sounds risky, but sounds like one hell of a carwash! I know exactly what your talking about, and i already got charged a "oversized" fee for my regular f150...but it sure did an awesome job. The place i'm talking about was local near chicago suburbs, but was a "track-based" carwash. Guess i can't go there anymore.
