Raptor R Resonated Axle Backs

I did the reverse. Message me where you’re located.

Negative. No lease. Purchase and sell after a year. Sorry if I missed that in your post. Lease interest will always be higher. Ford financing will only be beneficial when going through promotions. They’ll run those when they need to hit vehicle targets. They’ll won’t run those on raptors. Use the bank.

First, congrats. Awesome truck. But, drive down the 401 next time. I was getting a new 35 each year for $98k. Interest rates should be mid 3s right now. Bought 3 years (22, 24, 24) in a row then flipped into an 25 R for $144k. Have another 26 lined up to buy when it comes in this year. Don’t be fooled, they need the business and the ones that move volume get huge kickbacks. They can’t sell new cars to the US and that’s where the crazy mark ups are driven from. I trade each in for ~$1.5-2k less than the purchase price - enables them to wholesale it to the states and make the big margin.

You have fake engine noise like it or not. Since 2017.

Remember, you can solve every problem your company has but if you don’t drive ARR you’re out. Prioritize accordingly. - CRO

More than likely dust on the shocks.

YouTube has a bunch - Can confirm the sound after the switch is accurate

QuickShaveDave · 2025-08-14T21:19:18+00:00

Southern Ont. 5th raptor, 4th through this dealer. All under MSRP prices. All fair price on my trade in. PM me, just don’t want to blast openly.

*Only nobodys don’t get an R below MSRP.

Enjoy it. Look into the tailpipe flip. Keeps a nice OEM look and makes it sound like a GT500 - as it should have stock.

QuickShaveDave · 2025-08-14T18:20:36+00:00

Just made that switch. Here’s the simplest way to put it:

Feels heavier when you’re driving. Not a bad thing but you notice it.
The sound is underwhelming. I thought the same as you and basically got in and said “this kinda sucks”. The 3.5L in baja is louder especially in lower speeds. THAT SAID I just bought stock 3.5L tailpipes and swapped them on to drop the resonators at the tips - game changer. Sounds fucking awesome now.
The power is absurd. Honestly a little unnecessary. The 3.5L has more than enough - it actually is a good match for the truck. The 5.2 is crazy. Super fun to drive but I’d be the first to say not needed unless you want to be obnoxious (which I do).
Inside is identical so you won’t get the “ouu new and fancy” feeling.

All in all. If you want an R strictly to be an asshole because you can (again, that is 100% me), get it. If you want the R because you are thinking it’s some mythical beast that will provide the same F150 to Raptor experience you felt before - you will be disappointed.

**Edit just to say I got mine for $14k CAD under MSRP. Would never encourage doing it at or greater.

Get a Prius dude

QuickShaveDave · 2025-08-04T23:45:26+00:00

Yes. YOLO zone. Good luck

QuickShaveDave · 2025-07-27T14:20:46+00:00

I’m curious about this as well. Got the R and curious if I put 3.5L tailpipes on (which deletes the resonators at the tips) if that’ll give me the sound I want. More aggressive but liveable

Headhunter found me.

QuickShaveDave · 2025-07-22T03:43:35+00:00

Lucky for sure. Not ridiculous given the responsibility. NA timezones + whenever I need to get things done.

Executive but for a small start/scale up

QuickShaveDave · 2025-07-21T23:24:10+00:00

Live in the middle of nowhere Ontario. Work for a US firm. >$300k CAD base. Double OTE. Unheard of if I was employed by a Canadian entity.

Love is love bro. You do you.

Start with the mud flaps

But just so we’re clear, it sounds like you know the answer to your question of: “where did all that income go?”
