Not sure if I'm honest. One of the reasons I landed with the Raptor is that it's pretty well set for my needs as it comes aside from a handful of practical things I intended to do. I've put the Softopper on there which has been great. The Ford rubber bed mat. These splash guards. I'd like...
I think they look great. They match the color/texture and all as you would expect it to being OEM. The molding and fit is spot on - no goofy gaps or misalignment. They do look a bit "tacked on" despite it following existing contours, but you can tell it is by design to offer more coverage. I...
Yes the Ford Performance branded ones you can get from Ford's website for the Raptors.
I think the front, larger hole is likely the main contributor, but it's a little bit of everything. Rear gets splash as well with some mud on the underside of the exhaust and on the body behind the rear...
RE: ordering the correct one. The SKU I ordered direct from Softopper (Black) for my '25 Raptor was SO-FR58O-BSR
It's worth noting that they currently have a 15% off deal right now that expires tonight should you make your decision, but it seems that that type of deal regularly happens for...
Installed them over the weekend. With the plastic rivet pry tool kit from Harbor Freight (I think you get two sets of three different lengths with varying diameter for like $10?), installation at all four corners took like 10 minutes. Super easy.
I will say, still plenty getting splashed up...
Did you notice anything leading up to this? Hard shifts, slips, etc. I had some gnarly hard shifts when I first got the truck that have subdued over time, but my 5-6 upshift in Sport mode is utter garbage. Harsh and stuttering. My 4-5 upshift is often feeling like it's slipping or something...
I’ve heard of some oiling issues with the Voodoo which has steered me away, but from a fun perspective, I think it’s hard to beat. High revving V8 > RR. I own a high revver as well as the RR. All around usability the RR wins out, but give me the RPMs…
What do these do for closing the hood? One of my other vehicles has struts from the factory and they do a great job. When I’m done, I can just grab the latch and “slam” it down from there. Works great. Don’t have to touch the exterior paint.
I’ve had another vehicle that didn’t have struts from...
I'm in a similar boat. I wouldn't got as far to say that I regret the purchase, but after spending a few months with it, there are some items that give me a bit of the "meh" factor.
I am sincerely disappointed in the interior quality - specifically the seats. I'm a middle of the bell curve...
As an additional follow up.
The 5-6 shift in Sport mode is HOT GARBAGE. If I am in Sport just driving like normal, every 5 to 6 shift feels like it is slipping and a hard transition. If you give it a little of the skinny pedal, the 5-6 seems fine. As I'm typically in Sport mode not driving...
What percent are the factory rear windows? I want to keep effectively that same darkness, but up front as well. As I want to put an effectively clear film on the rear (90%?) for UV protection, I imagine it will make the rears just a tiny bit darker? I don't want to be able to tell any...
I live in Camp Subtle (I know, I drive a RAPTOR), but I think it was day two of owning that I peeled all the stickers off. Hell, I was apprehensive on purchasing the Ford mudflaps because the rear ones say "Ford Performance" on them. I don't think the Raptor front grill looks bad, but I've...
Nice! Is this an "actual" Ford grill or something that is made to fit a non-Raptor?
I ask as I wonder if the inverse could be done to put a non-Raptor grille onto a Raptor.
