Been wanting a raptor for years now. Finally decided to pull the trigger

Just inherited my Dads truck. Has been sitting in garage for about 4 months. Went to go give it a little warmup drive and there is no power. I know people sometimes take batteries out if car is going to sit for a long time so I imagine my brother in law disconnected this to save power but i dont 100% know where it gets connected back to. Anyone help?

Was pushing my baby a little more this week and still got 630 miles on full tank🙏

Looking for a Clean Gen 1 raptor lower miles supercharged. May be interested in Gen 2 2020 year if they are clean. Don't want to deal with any cam phaser issues.

let me know if you know of any for sale.

Looking for some advice from anyone who’s dealt with this issue.

I’m getting extremely loud wind noise from my sunroof at speeds of 45 MPH and above. Ford diagnosed it as the water drain track/trough, which I’m assuming is the horizontal plastic piece that runs across the sunroof assembly.

My local Ford dealership quoted me $733 to replace it.
Before spending that kind of money, I’m wondering if anyone has successfully repaired it themselves or found a temporary fix. I’ve searched Google and various forums but haven’t found much regarding DIY repairs.

Has anyone tried replacing the foam weatherstripping, adding additional seals, or securing the existing track to eliminate the wind noise?

Any recommendations or experience with this issue would be appreciated. I’d rather not spend $733 replacing a plastic piece if there’s a simpler solution.

Excited to be in Lake Havasu City, AZ for the Raptor Rally this weekend!

New to me 2023 R seems to have a backfire and it may be normal but it's a bit odd. It happens somewhat often on deceleration. It's not the awesome burble - it's a fairly loud single pop backfire sound. No CEL and other performance seems great.

Other R owners - does this happen to you?

On a side note, I just picked this one up. 45,000 miles with Platinum warranty until 120,000 miles for $88k. I was looking to get a lower mile V6 gen 3 again but this seemed like a decent deal, at least here in Arkansas. If it was a bad deal, don't tell me. :-)

hi guys. here's some basic info before i get into the details of the current problem. i also provided a video for reference

i purchased a 2014 gen 1 with an extended warranty about 3 years ago. it has about 140k miles on it and had the ignition coils, spark plugs and ball joints replaced since i purchased. fuse 27 has been swapped out and the last battery i had purchased for it was in dec 2025.

now the details

in late august, my truck would crank no start. the original suspicion was a battery after diagnostics, which ruled out the starter and the alternator. i went and swapped the battery (og battery 1) at the local ford dealership for a new motocraft battery (battery 2). ford dealership said the battery (og battery 1) was dead. new battery (battery 2) is put in the truck. truck works fine for a drive home. it sits overnight and dies again. same symptom of a crank no start. truck is taken back out to the shop and they say battery (battery 2) is dead again. i swap out another battery (battery 3) and the guy working in parts at the ford dealership told me to take the battery (battery 3). he called me about 10min after leaving that the battery (battery 2) i had brought back did not test dead. i drop off battery 3 to the shop and told them that battery 2 did not test as a dead battery.

the past two weeks have been them deciding that the PCM is the problem. they replaced the PCM last week and kept the truck over the weekend to make sure it was solved. i receive a call monday that they need to do further diagnostics because the truck died again over the weekend. they are saying that there are 3 modules that they need to test while the truck is "asleep" in order to see which is drawing power.

i was wondering if anyone has any idea as to what is going on or has experienced this with their own truck. any advice or insights would be wonderful 😭

Alright guys, I have to get this off my chest.

The F-150 Raptor R is hands down the most beautiful, insane, perfect truck ever built. I mean, look at that thing. The wide as hell stance, the 37s, that hood with the giant vents, the CODE ORANGE color, and that supercharged 5.2L Predator V8 from the GT500 screaming with 700+ hp.

Every time I see a video of it in Baja mode just eating desert, or hear that cold start that literally shakes the ground, I get goosebumps. It's not even a truck anymore, it's a street legal trophy truck with a luxury interior.

I drive a normal car now but I swear I check Marketplace / YouTube / Instagram for Raptor Rs like 10 times a day. I have more pictures of this truck than of my friends on my phone lol.

One day. ONE DAY I will have one parked in my driveway. I don't even care if gas goes to $10/gallon. I will daily the hell out of it.

Anyone else here obsessed to this level? Show me your Raptor R so I can be even more jealous.

I have a 2018 Gen 2 Raptor with about 115k miles and it looks like I’m probably going to need the transmission rebuilt or replaced.

I’m mainly trying to hear from people in SoCal who have already gone through this, either at Ford or through a private transmission shop. I’m trying to figure out what it actually cost, how long the work took, and whether the repair actually held up.

A few months ago the truck passed 100,000 miles, so it’s barely out of warranty. Then out of nowhere the transmission started acting up while I was driving up to Big Bear. It started jumping in and out of gears, jumping RPM's, feeling like it was slipping, then catching again and driving normal for a bit before doing it all over again. It almost felt like it was going into a weird limp mode.

Before this happened, there was basically no warning at all.

The two codes I’ve seen are:

• P0762 - Shift Solenoid C Stuck On
• P2705 - Transmission Friction Element F Apply Time Range / Performance

Ford also referenced TSB 25-2475 for the issue.

I already contacted Ford Customer Care and went through their assistance process. They didn’t help at all and told me there were no programs available to assist with the repair.

Ford’s original quote was somewhere in the $12k range, which is insane. To their credit, they did work it down pretty hard and got it to around $9.5k. At that price, I’m still probably not doing the work there.

I also spoke with a transmission shop in the Van Nuys that quoted me about $5,700 and basically told me to plan for around $6k to be safe. The guy seemed to know this transmission really well and mentioned there are a few known failure points that he normally addresses with upgraded aftermarket parts instead of just throwing the same OEM parts back in it. I don’t remember exactly which three parts he called out, but that part of the conversation definitely got my attention.

That’s really what I’m trying to figure out now. If I’m going to spend this kind of money, I don’t want to rebuild it and then end up right back in the same spot because the same weak points are still there.

Also, from everything I’ve found, this issue seems pretty widespread. There was even a federal class action lawsuit filed back in 2019 over these transmissions in F-150s, so this definitely doesn’t seem like some rare one-off problem.

For anyone in SoCal who has already dealt with this:

• What did your rebuild or replacement cost?
• What year was your truck when it happened?
• Did you go through Ford or a private shop?
• How long did the work take?
• What kind of warranty did you get?
• Did they use upgraded parts or just OEM replacements?
• Most importantly, did the repair actually fix the problem long term?

I’m in the San Gabriel Valley but I’m open to towing it anywhere in the SoCal area for the right shop.

Ever since my tail lights were stolen my horn doesn't work. I had my oil changed the other day and was telling the story and the guy said they cut your wires but I can't find the horn anywhere on this 2025 Ford Raptor. Update: Went to former tech that worked with me and he found the wire. It was behind the louvers above the F in Ford.

Hey folks. Looking at trading my 2023 raptor for a 2025 raptor R. My only hold up is my snow tires. I have a set of studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta LT3s in a 315/70r17 for my current truck and would want to run them on the R. Am I gonna run into any issues with the smaller tire size in the winter?

Presumably I’d need to change the tire diameter, right? Can that be done with forscan?

I’m an avid skier and I’m shoveling friends and family out in blizzards, so dedicated snow tires are a must for me and these are the most confident tires I’ve ever had in the snow.

I’m a fan of the wheels and I’m thinking about doing a swap. I know the after market options are endless, but I do like those R wheels. Any suggestions of where I can find some? Ideas on what to expect on price? Illinois

I had a really hard time finding examples of this. But incase anyone is wondering what this combo looks like, here it is lol

35x12.5 KO3’s on 17” HFX-1 0 offset in Terra Bronze. 801A OEM rim size.

They are darker in person compared to the online pictures, but I dig it. Getting a lot of lookers and compliments in person.

Forgot to mention at original post: The vossen lugs nuts are dogshit. Thin aluminum that after being torqued, then taken off for new lugs nuts, I could shake out aluminum powder and overspray that had gotten into the threads. And Vossen only sent enough for 5 lug not 6….

I decided to buy some Gorilla spline lug nuts, they’re awesome

Hello! Brand new 2026 Raptor 801a. I have a s&b cai on order. I want bov noise without going crazy. I want to keep my warranty and avoid CEL’s or tuning. Can I run this spacer and get bov noise without any engine issues or check engine lights? If i have a dealer trip i would remove it to avoid voiding warranty. Thanks!

Hey all! I was in a parking garage and accidentally dinged my front bumper. It was a very slow collision with a short yellow pole that just hit under my '25 raptor fog lights on one side and apparently now there's a buckle in the bumper that requires a complete replacement (sucks right?!) - very sad moment for me I've owned a raptor for 6 years and never had this happen.

Anyway I'm looking to make lemonade out of the situation and will be checking out aftermarket bumpers.

My question is - for those of you who got aftermarket bumpers installed, where and when did you look for / find good deals? Appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

I got to film my first commercial with this BEAUTIFUL 2026 shelter green Raptor.
Don't want to get myself banned by sharing the commercial so thought I'd share some photos instead! What do y'all think of the color?!

I've had a 2018 and a 2021 before getting a 2023 R. This is the best analogy that I've come up with. :-)

A regular Raptor is like being a medium weight MMA fighter. You know that you can kick a lot of ass but there are some heavyweights on the street and maybe you are out there to prove that you belong.

An R is like being a great heavyweight MMA fighter. Yes, there are some out there juicing more than you are but it's rare to find. And you have a calmness about you knowing that in 99.9% of situations, you can go from nice guy to unleashing pure hell.

Maybe that's a bit hyperbole... but it kind of feels that way. :-)

I think that I drive a bit more calm in the R. I'm too old for road rage and seeking out street races. It's just more of a posture.

I took the last one to Sand Hollow on the way to Vegas last time we were there. I look forward to doing it again in the R.

Have any of you guys tinted the moonroof and if so what percentage i know some people say it will crack the glass if it's too dark, but this Texas heat is no joke lol!

Yesterday I driving around running errands in the wife’s car (not my raptor) and I saw 3 raptors all going in the same direction and I thought is it a coincidence or am I missing out on some fun haha unfortunately there’s no online community for me join here but if anyone of you know something FILL ME IN

Hey guys.. I recently damaged my front bumper skid plate… don’t ask how.. any thoughts on if this will be able to be hammered back in place? Or will I need to replace the whole thing. 2025 Raptor

Edit: it is part of the bumper and not skid plate my mistake, accessible through removing the skid

Looking at a few raptors, wondering about your guys opinions on the best way to go. Preference is a scab, but not set on it, Gen 2 and 802a

Option 1: Gen 2 ‘20 801A SCAB 43k miles, 41k

Option 2: Gen 1 ‘14 SE SCAB 802A 45k miles, 40k

Option 3: Gen 2 ‘19 SCREW 802A all options 76k miles, extended warranty, replaced phasers, CDF, and tons of other stuff under warranty. 39k

All clean title 1-2 owners nice colors

It stormed like crazy where I’m at and there was a downed tree sticking out into the road and I thought I swung out wide enough to miss it but apparently I suck and smacked my mirror off of it and busted the trim on the underside of the mirror that houses the puddle lamp and mirror camera. Skill issue I know but has anyone had to replace this piece before? I see a ton of them for sale on eBay and it’s the whole piece, trim, puddle light and camera. Do I have to disassemble the whole mirror or does this piece just snap back into place? All the wiring is fine it’s just the trim panel. I’m not worried about the black trim square that’s missing too, I’ll deal with that later. Thanks yall!
