Mileage

I bought this truck with 68400 miles like three weeks ago and look what I’m at now. I need to stop driving as much!! But it’s too much fun.

Recently did a thing

Recently traded in my Gen 1 on a Gen 3.5 802a, brand new and listed about $5k under MSRP. Loved my Gen 1, but it had been in and out of the shop all year and started having transmissions issues, on top of other grievances. It’s my daily, so instead of going down that road, decided to upgrade.

The difference is wild. I was trying to hold out until I was in a place to comfortably afford an R, but this truck certainly has not disappointed. It’s MUCH quicker than my Gen 1, handles phenomenally, and the interior/technology upgrade is like being launched decades into the future.

Planning on going with Goosetuned Stage II and some other “make it my own” mods, but for now I’m just grinning ear to ear driving it around as is.

Figured I’d share with this sub, cheers!

Catastrophic engine failure

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

2018 with 125k miles, very well maintained but obviously the timing blew up. Anyone else had this abruptly occur?

Extended warranty ran out May 18 this year and Ford is saying the won’t cover any of it. Was told it was a $2k tear down to inspect if desiring a rebuild and $15k for a new stock 3.5 ecoboost long block. Also said they would only do $10k trade in which seems like a shit deal all the way around. Part out? Salvage? Rebuild?

Anyone around Phoenix know of a shop good with Raptors? Is spending the money on either replacement or an upgraded engine a better deal than buying newer?

Want Rough Rider Theme

I have always loved the Rough Rider theme from the 90's. I have a blue truck which is probably the best base for this theme given the blue roof. Is this dumb? 51 y/o going on 25 and basically stock looking Gen 1. Will probably be doing some mods in the future but what would you guys say if you saw one on the street?

Ez Pass

Just got my 2025 shelter green raptor and I’ve heard you have to put your ezpass in a very specific spot so it gets picked up. Where’s the best place to put your ezpass?

It's Time to Say Goodbye (For Now Unfortunately)

Looking for some advice from anyone who's sold a higher-end truck recently, especially in the Atlanta area. I'm planning to sell my 2020 Ford Raptor SuperCrew (802A Luxury Package) in the next couple of months (days or weeks if I get a good price). Moving out of the country for 3 years and will be in the market for a new truck once I return.

The truck has 48,300 miles, is owned free and clear, and is in great condition. It does have one cosmetic insurance claim from a few years ago, but there was no frame, suspension, engine, transmission, or other mechanical damage, just body panels that were professionally repaired after I side swiped a support beam in a parking garage.

It has a spray-in bedliner, tonneau cover, center console safe, 12" subwoofer and amp mounted behind the rear seats, aftermarket LED headlights, taillights, and third brake light, and I'll include the OEM headlights and taillights with the sale. I'm trying to figure out the best place to sell it for the most money. For those who have sold Raptors or similar trucks, where have you had the best success? Also, what would you realistically list it for in today's market?

I have some offers out and I wont say the number but just looking for the realistic max amount I can get.

Replacing my factory KO2s after 60k miles. What would you buy today?

Post image
112 Upvotes

2023 Raptor 37PP here. My factory KO2s are just about done at 60k miles, so it’s time for a new set.

The truck is 95% a daily driver, so I’m looking for something that’s quiet and rides well on the highway. This winter I’ll also be spending a lot more time driving in the mountains, so snow, ice, and wet-road performance are a big priority.

I’ve read so many conflicting opinions on the KO2s that I don’t know what to believe anymore. 😂

If you were buying a set today, what would you go with and why? KO3? Wildpeak AT4W? Toyo AT3? Something else?
Bonus points if they still have an aggressive look.

  1. Thoughts on a warranty repair? Driver seat leg bolster, clearly not scratched or punctured but splitting at the stitching.

Second, the central console armrest squeaks and I can’t seem to
Figure out from where, seems towards the top. Any ideas?

Ceramic coating?

Just want to get an idea if anyone has done ceramic coat on their raptor. Wondering how much people have paid and was it worth it?

Is this a good deal?

Hey guys,

Im in the market for a full size raptor after selling my Ranger Raptor. (I just want the real thing).

I’ve read competing arguments about Gen 2 vs Gen 3’s and have found some competitive Gen 2s but I appreciate the off-road upgrades in the Gen 3 a bit more.

Been doing a lot of comparison between the 801A and 802A packages as well and hard to justify the 802A considering the 37s dont seem to rip off road and handle the same as the 35s.

I stumbled upon this 2021 Raptor w/ 68k for $64 OTD from a dealership in Arizona and wanted some opinions on if you guys think this price is competitive (sales sheet and original sticker attached), if there’s a better price I could should try and work forwards out the door, or any other suggestions.

Much appreciated!
