2023 Ford Raptor- Continuation

[Deleted member 9101]

With 11.5 months of cold winter here, I def want one in my next truck.

Not convinced about installing one off amazon myself though, lol

That's why you have full coverage with a generous amount written in for accessories and mods. Might be the quickest way to the Ranger/Bronco/Raptor/F650 that you have been looking at.

What is the extra 2 ways of power in the power seat in the 8 way vs 6?
Lowly XLT owner 4 life here, in happy I have a dial to twist for lumbar.
Back in my GM days half my car's had dual climate control and 6 way seat.
Up, down, fore, aft, tilt forward, tilt back. That's 3 ways.

You guys have power seats?

Not in XLT we don't.
I've had power seats. I don't get the appeal outside of the ones u can save the seat setting and have multiple drivers where you just press a button and it moves to exactly where you want it.

My XLT has 10 way power driver and passenger seats.

Ex

My XLT has 10 way power driver and passenger seats.

XLT sports don't count!

I should clarify I mean 300a trucks

Unless I'm in the truck when it explodes......

The 8 way I think moves the back rest forward and back. On my 301A truck, that movement is manual.

For me I like the power seat so I can move the seat up higher. If Ford offered this adjustment manually, I'd be fine with that too. I just want to be able to move the seat up.

Not sure if 300A trucks have power pedals and telescopic wheels but, as me and the wife are different heights, we find those two features handy.

My Forrester had manually raising seats, it was bizarre.

 

[Grassland]

300A has manual lumbar, fore and aft, and recline. That's all for adjustment.
Steering wheel tilts but no telescope.

2015 and newer I believe tilt and telescope is standard

So I changed my mind and backed the order down to an XLT. $8500 cheaper than a Lariat, and still has LED headlights, Bang and Olfusen sound system with sub, push button start, 12" screen etc.

XLT Sport?

 

[McCarthy]

Same package I have now, XLT sport 302A

FINALLY!!!!! New truck gets built tomorrow, which means it's about a month away from my driveway. Quite excited so I thought i'd start ordering parts.

Went with a 295/70/18 this time around, which is 34.3 x 12 x 18. A "true" 35x12.50x18 measures out at 34.4x12.50x18, so this is essentially a 35x12.00x18. I wanted slightly skinnier as I was SUPER close to rubbing with the 12.50's, and want to make sure there's no risk on the new truck. (I will not put up with ANY rubbing, period.)

I'll be keeping my wheels from my current truck, and hopefully the airbags if they'll swap over. I'll also be swapping over my Bilstein front coils (6112's) as they only have about 18k miles on them, and will be ordering new rear shocks w/ reservoir (Bilstein 5160's).
