Checking under the hood of a MY25 Braptor and found this protective cap (1st photo) wedged in the top of the location I am pointing to in 2nd photo. DBI seems to be the manufacturer of this cap that online searches seem to say the cap is used to protect hoses and hydraulic fittings. No vehicle...

A 2025 Braptor here. Totally stock with no tunes or tweaks. Lots of daily driving and off-road is all beach. Have no issues with function or performance and it works for me just fine. Like a previous comment, I’ve spent time with Porsche PDKs so that remains the top shelf - but the Braptor...

Have the same one. While it doesn’t offer the same reception as the OEM long whip, I find it receives all my local FM stations just fine.

Sorry - can’t help there. I use handheld GMRS for my radio needs - I try to steer clear of ext antennas. Nice looking rig with the lights!

Got it. The other option I mentioned is using the following light mount on the front bumper for those off-road areas that require front mounts. Has a large enough hole for the quick connect mount so no drilling in this case. There are also numerous mounts for the rear tailgate but some that I...

I went with a KC light mount attached to the rear spare. Used the Handy Flag quick connect mount. There are a number of mounting holes on the KC bracket but all are too small for the mount - but an easy drill out to 1/2” for the mount. Prefer not to have the whip in my field of view; I know...

Retiree here also. As others have mentioned, if the $$ aren’t an issue - go for it. Had a ‘24 Wildtrak that I loved. Took the ‘25 Raptor for a drive and there was no longer any hesitation. Just enjoy the decision and don’t look back…

Thanks for the guidance! Based on the comment I contacted the selling dealer parts department and then visited the dealership. Sure enough, my vehicle is missing the entire seal across the rear cargo window. Part is on order and covered, as you would expect, under warranty. Not sure how that...

I stumbled across a gap on both driver and passenger sides where the rear hatch and cargo door come together. It is large enough to see in/out of the vehicle through the gap - which is how I found it as a rear light was just at the right angle to be seen even from the driver seat when facing to...

I take my ‘24 Wildtrak nearly weekly to Assateague National Seashore On Sand Vehicle portion of the beach. No dunes and relatively flat but a lot of soft sand. I routinely use Sand mode with tires down to 22 psi. No issues to date with temp unavailable 4WD and plow through ruts in the sand...

Agree that you can stream via cell but for me it seems to get Ford and/or Sirius off the hook for delivering service as advertised. As mentioned at least two other manufacturers (Jeep, Mercedes-Benz) can make it work on the stretch of highway - why not Ford?

I don’t have a roof rack with my hard top and find the Sirius reception poor along tree lined highways. I understand and accept the overpass and building obstruction issues, but have two other vehicles that travel the same route and same orientation during the same season that don’t exhibit the...

Best not to judge unless you know how much someone paid or if they have a buddy who powder coats for work. A pound of powder costs $25 and you end up with a top notch finish that is durable. Of course there are other options. Touch up spray is available to match the RAL selected if needed so...

Thanks. Was originally planning a higher gloss look but when I pulled the rings off, I had the shiny brushed aluminum look underneath. The rings actually turned out a bit lighter than I thought, as I was overwhelmed by the choices in powder coat selections. Not only colors but multiple levels...

Took a different approach. I had the all black wheels and rings. Liked the contrast of different color rings. There was silver underneath when I removed the rings and for me - it looked too much like chrome and I didn’t like the look. So I went with a powder coat of a gray (RAL 7037 Dusty...

…on 89 octane

4-dr Wildtrak with stock 35s. 1k miles on odometer and several test trips at constant 55 mph in Normal mode over flat terrain regularly yields 20.0-20.7 mpg on 150 mile trips. Granted a bit boring but actually better than expected. As others have noted, this vehicle was not selected for fuel...

Same thing happened - my dealer got ahead of themselves and drilled in the OEM holder. Easily fixed with Bumperplugs and the license plate holder is solved with either the Mabett or DV8 mount depending on whether you like the vertical or angled (DV8) look. Both products are well made and look...
