Im loving it so far. There are a few rattles and squeaks in the front left that i need to get looked at. One ford dealership said that it was normal, pissed the fuck out of me. gotta take it to another one and get it checked out, but I absolutely hate having any of the mechanics drive my cars, let alone touch them.
^ BTW, what Raptor forum do you suggest? I joined fordraptorforum.com but even though it's one of the more active forums, it seems that the same few people are the active ones. Any other good ones?

I got to drive an FJ for a month back in 09 I think. Definitely was a fun suv to drive.
Personally id pick Raptor but I could understand if some people would go the other way. It feels different. U have to testdrive both to understand.
I joined raptorforumZ.com. or something similar. Ends with a z. I think it stays pretty busy

Awesome truck. My buddy has one just like yours but all black. His started to loosen up around 15k miles and he gets around 17mpg on the hwy now. He had less than 15 miles on it when he pulled it in my garage and we leveled the front end. Those fogs look

i got very lucky on this since the i found a heavenly seller.
When I bought the mirrors I asked him to send it through USPS and he still used UPS. I sent him an email last night after finding the mirror broken. He called me back right away and said that he will refund the full amount and take the mirrors back.
I went ahead and ordered another set. Now gotta play the wait game again.

Man this truck has impressive braking already. I believe the OEM Raptor wheels are more heavier. While unloading, I accidentally dropped it on the step ladder of the tailgate and broke the cover, that was the when i first got the truck, almost broke my finger in the process also (stayed swollen up for a week). We have like 10 sets of Raptor wheels at EVS. I'll try to weigh one of them.
As for the weight, I believe it. I helped put my buddies new wheels on and those bastards were heavy.










Nice looking truck for sure , and glad to see it gets put to use .


I wonder how they're even still in business sometimes....
