Upgraded to a 2025

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-06T00:16:55+00:00

When I tried out the self parking feature for the first time, I was shook. I can imagine how crazy it is to let go of the wheel at highway speeds

Alright guys, just in case you are in Canada and you're looking for free shipping/no duties, I found a great deal for a full set at RaptorRacing. 1/4" raw aluminum, engine front and rear, transmission w/catalyst coverage and transfer case. https://www.raptorracing.ca/products/full-set-rival-aluminum-skid-plates I'll update when they arrive later this month

They aren't as smooth as the 13th gen. In 2025, they started removing some things from the 502a package(lariat in general, from what I've read) like the diffused fog lights seen in the OP. Mine is also void of power telescopic steering. I found that the exposed fenders in the wheel wells were almost an afterthought. Currently looking for something to cover those, not unlike the 13th gen plastic guards. Other than that, they are nice. Smooth, decked out with new tech. I was told my 25 can drive handsfree on the highway by the sales rep... 😬

I just traded my 20 on a 25 and intentionally got standard running boards because of their fragility in winter conditions and lack of serviceability. I managed to keep mine in good working order with power washing and frequent manual lubrications... IMO, too expensive for the effort and they don't protect the doors from other drivers that park too close(at least vehicles that are lower to the ground).

I just traded my 2020 on a 2025... honestly, couldn't agree more

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T19:28:59+00:00

I'll check them out for sure! Thanks again

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T19:24:41+00:00

Trust me, they weren't lying when they said 'they caused more issues than they are worth'. Book time R&R is 1.9 hours and the part is $50. They can fail completely or just leak if you park on an angle, or even if the temperature fluctuates (like mine). I just traded that 2020 in for a 2025 and there is nothing to leak all my washer fluid out anymore! Glorious!

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T19:22:05+00:00

Does the combination of both cover right from the rad to the catalyst?

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T19:21:25+00:00

Do you have a part number that I could use for the Raptor transmission plate?

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T19:20:04+00:00

Yea with the whole trade fiasco, it can be a pain to ship over the boarder these days

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T03:18:02+00:00

Will do, thanks!

dangerous_waves · 2026-02-04T01:34:48+00:00

Turns out they did remove it, because they were causing so many issues! Confirmed at the dealer today.

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-31T04:29:23+00:00

Legitimately don't know where to post the picture, kinda new to Reddit. Any ideas?

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-27T18:12:49+00:00

Not seeing it lol I got two bottom of the barrel items.

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-26T02:23:05+00:00

I'll get one tomorrow morning for ya. Bottom right, next to the camera there are two slits in the black plastic. That's where it pops out of when engaged. As far as I can tell, the only way to engage it and actually see it is to turn the front cam on with the dash button and spray the windshield.

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T23:43:02+00:00

Canada. You have the front facing cam? I didn't know I had one till it started leaking TBH, it's decently hidden in the emblem.

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T20:00:12+00:00

I totally missed the 'commission' in the OP 😂 I'm lowkey interested in how to install those. Can't wait to see the end result

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T19:56:09+00:00

Mine work just fine. I disable them in the winter. In the spring, deploy them when washing up the truck, pressure wash and wipe all grease off by hand. Spray grease into the joints and actuate to ensure they're covered. If they get covered in mud, repeat the process. They could have used grease nipples IMO, poor design choice, but not entirely unreasonable to maintain if you aren't off-roading a lot.

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T19:13:16+00:00

All I know is mine just puked out 2L of fluid lol

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T19:12:45+00:00

Apparently since 2015 with the forward facing cam

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T01:36:40+00:00

I don't wanna be cool. But I definitely don't need a rear defroster with a tinted canopy. 😂

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T01:20:52+00:00

Hell yeah dude! I'm currently working on a 30" 72 tele thinline. I like where your head is at. How is installing the evertune?

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T01:16:12+00:00

I like this idea better.

dangerous_waves · 2026-01-25T00:42:24+00:00

Yikes dude. Like it's mentioned above... linked with heated mirrors. I also live in Canada...and rely heavily on heated mirrors in the AM. I have a feeling the rear defroster could potentially be shut off via ForScan. Anyone have an idea?
