https://www.tcteardrops.com/ TC Teardrops is a brand I've been eyeballing for a while. They can be customized for moto stuff, which is super cool, and can be ordered in a tandem axle configuration. If I had to pick something else in a 'sleep inside' configuration, I would probably pick a Scamp...

I did this and I got a message that said something about NSA, signals intelligence, and watch list?? My HOA was on there too for some reason. Does anyone know what this means? Thanks!

Yeah it should be hung like a tall boy, not like a coke can 😂

I don't hate it, and I'm certainly used to it now, but I do wish it was more of a traditional stick shape, haha. I'll definitely take it over the crappy little wheel selector in my Explorer, which works fine, but it just feels so cheap and crappy.

The code orange interior accents (they're red, lol, lets be real). I thought they would be obnoxious, but turns out I don't really mind at all.

RAM is hit or miss for me, personally. I frickin love how the RHO looks, and I really like the 2500s (mmm Power Wagon), but the vanilla 1500s are just meh for me. I found this AI slop on Reddit re: Silverado...if they did something similar to this I would be a buyer in a heartbeat..love the...

Toyota for sure. Almost like their focus group for design was entirely 8 year old kids. I rather like the new Silverado redesign. Reminds me of the current gen Colorado in a good way. The headlights are goofy though.

This is exactly why I decided to go off the deep end on this thread, haha - it's a pointless exercise. There's only one criteria that matters: Does the oil you're using meet the OEM spec? 1. Yes. Good to go. 2. No. What are we even doing here!?!?

Sure thing I guess 🤷‍♂️ You must be fun at parties

:wink: Edit: to be clear, I enjoy trolling oil threads (the only oil you should be using is whatever the OEM says). The unhinged reactions are usually priceless. On the F-150 forums or similar there would be a raging mob all over me at this point. The key is doing it absolutely deadpan, and...

Yes! You can never change your oil often enough. This guy knows what he's talking about. Remember, if you're doing your own oil changes, make sure to dispose of the used oil properly. I always use this method when I do my oil changes with Rotella T6 15W-40. My property is on a hill, so I...

Alright, you guys convinced me the Rotella probably isn't ideal. I did some more research and I'm going to switch to Mercury 25W-40 marine oil next change. It's specifically formulated for high-output engines operating under sustained load, so it seems like a better fit for the Raptor. I...

Big Bear & Palomar

I've been running Rotella T6 15W-40 for the last few oil changes. It's what we use in the diesels at work, and oil is oil. 🤷‍♂️ 14k miles on this oil now, zero issues...I swear the engine runs quieter now. I know Ford calls for 5W-30 but that's mostly for CAFE.
