Ford Raptor Facts not on YouTube 2022

[@justinlowrey157]

The keyhole in the cupholder is if the battery is dead in your key, the truck wont start because it can't recognize a key is there, you put the key in that hole, truck recognizes key is there now, now you can start it.

[@bobbygfl]

Ohhh. Got it. Ok good to know. Thanks!

[@michaelschuerman2847]

You can also use that key spot in the cup holder to program new key fobs if you lost one or decided you wanted another fob. It’s super easy I actually did it on my f150 and it worked with no issues at all!

[@bobbygfl]

@@michaelschuerman2847 that’s good to know! Thanks

[@ajgrier1975]

On my 2016 Mustang GT you can also program one fob to be in valet mode so's they can't hotrod around in your truck.

[@jbuck9821]

The keyhole is for if the battery in your keyfob dies. You cannot start the vehicle without the fob. So if the fob is not functioning because the battery died, you are dead in the water (specifically if you are away from your house and your second keyfob). Dropping it in the hold provides wireless power (like wireless charging for your phone) and allows it to communicate with the truck.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks!

[@HighSpinSwingSpeed]

@@bobbygfl I believe it’s also how you change the door code and program a new key

[@michaelschuerman2847]

You can save all your drive settings using the “R” on ur steering wheel. U save ur drive mode, exhaust mode, suspension mode to whatever you like. Then when you start the truck again you just push the R button and it goes to those settings! Also with the tailgate instead of reaching underneath to push the button, u can double click the key fob and it should go back up on its own. You can also lift it like half way and it will lift automatically closed after that.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks for the tip!

[@keithmccloud6722]

Mine does not stay set when I do that. Even after I save the changes!!

[@KeirAero]

My 2022 model has the same exhaust rattle on start up, which goes away a within a minute or two. Sounds to me like the valve in the exhaust, but I haven’t gotten around to sliding underneath to look for anything obviously loose in the system and accessible from the outside. Sharing this info so that you know you aren’t the only one with that rattle! 😂 Beautiful truck and good video, thanks for sharing. By the way, your story in another video about the waiting game with ford on the raptor, it’s a tough one. Similar story here and glad to be done with the process.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks!

[@panamaredeye]

It's waste hate that is rattling. Google springs from Lowes to fix ford raptor waste hate rattle. It worked great for me! And everyone else who has done it!

[@marksullivan8200]

The rattle sounds like exhaust heating up or cooling off

[@bobbygfl]

Turns out the rattle is actually poorly designed valve springs that really aren’t even actually Springs. They replace them with mechanical springs that have been redesigned and the rattle stopped.

[@HighSpinSwingSpeed]

Nice truck! Raptor owners have changed quite a bit the last 10 years 😂

[@bobbygfl]

Family truck! And thanks

[@diggs2k5]

That’s a crazy angle for metal to bend your gonna have slight imperfections around curvature depending on the depth

[@bobbygfl]

It’s the weight and perfection of the surface of the press. Mercedes, for example stamps their panels more times with a heavier press and replace or resurface the molds more frequently. Ford does the opposite and you end up with waves. I’m sure the truck would be 150 grand if they did it differently.

[@douglasfernandez7996]

The key slot in the back rest of the rear seat is to lock the bottom cushion in the down position to protect the stored items under it. You can buy an aftermarket release kit that will allow you to gain access behind the left rear seat back rest. I find it easier to lift the tail gate 2" to 3" by hand or knee to activate the power closure motor . If you lift it more then that it will not work.

[@bobbygfl]

Great tips!! Thank you. That makes sense on the tailgate.

[@billymc2681]

On the previous gen G150, you can reach down behind the driver's side back seat, next to the outer support for the headrest and locate a small strap. Pull up gently on the strap and it released the seat back. There is a company called Built Right that make a handy device to make the process a breeze. Unfortunately, I am not positive if this carries over to the 14th Gen (current) F150.

[@twisskevin4853]

Also the key fob whole in your cup holder if for some reason you bought a used one and it didn't come with the door code you need both key fobs to retrieve it. Or you can look at the module on the passenger side kick panel that is where the code is located also.

[@bobbygfl]

Good to know! Thanks

[@panamaredeye]

Actually it's for programing new keys, and for of your fob battery dies, it uses a magnetic sensor to recognize your key in the vehicle so you can start it.

[@Panhandledawg1]

If you pick up on your tailgate, it will close automatically, no need to press the button

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks! I had no idea when I shot the video lol

[@HammerdownMotorsportsUSA]

try this out just lift up a bit on your tailgate and let it drop it will auto close no more reaching for the button I found that by accident also my 2023 has a big camera button instead of start stop makes it easy to hit when driving

[@bobbygfl]

Thank you! So much better

[@bradchang5076]

I diddn't know about the excessive oil consumption on my 2021 Raptor. Ialso added an oil catch can that installed into the PCV connection.

[@bobbygfl]

That’s really interesting. I haven’t noticed any oil burn yet, but I am seriously considering a catch can. Thanks for the comment.

[@boldgold3885]

The exhaust rattle is the spring replacement the dealership does they did it on my 21 Ford raptor, and the rattle is back so next…

[@bobbygfl]

That’s a bummer. I’d make them do it again. So far my rattle is still gone. How long did it fix it for. I don’t drive it much.

[@bo-vd4od]

The key hole is for when your FOB dies. It reads the chip and allows you start the truck When the FOB is no longer transmitting.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks

[@themachanic6416]

Because in California if you have it in sports mode or Baja mode you can be ticket and by court order you have to have it removed

[@bobbygfl]

Ahh. Thanks!

[@robertdevito9677]

Key in cup holder-by putting your two keys in gives you the door code

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks!

[@Alex-mw9un]

Sweet video, thanks! I just bought a 2022 raptor. What do the inverters do under my back two seats? Can I use the outlet in the truckbed while the truck is off? Will that drain my car battery?

[@bobbygfl]

There should be a button on the left of the steering wheel and also you can access generator mode from the touch display. The 110 outlets within the truck will work I believe with the truck off and the outlet in the truck bed I think will power small stuff when off but once you put it in generator mode, inverter kicks on and powers a lot - like a table saw or a vacuum. you cannot run it without the truck on because it actually kicks up the truck RPM when you push generator mode and if you have less than a certain amount of gas, will not let you turn it on at all thanks for the compliment. Glad you liked the video. Please check out the playlist this video is in. I have a bunch of Raptor videos.

[@kristicollins1]

Where did you get the Husky Storage box that's in the back of your truck? I searched everywhere

[@bobbygfl]

Home Depot. They still sell them. I just saw them last week in their shelving area.

[@kevinbrost1577]

that hole in the cup holder is to start your vehicle if the fob battery is dead.

Thanks for the video! Learned a lot. Do you know if the rattle is exhaust related or due to something else? Did you have it replaced?

[@bobbygfl]

Yes, please check out my playlist. I have a bunch of videos on this truck and I do talk about the replacement of the exhaust valve spring. Ford completely redesigned it much. New one actually has a spring versus just a tension washer completely fixed the rattle and it has not returned and it’s been almost 2 years

hello I have a 2023 raptor and on idle I have this annoying rough idle only when in drive on the road is fine but at a light idle is rough are you experience the same promblem?

[@bobbygfl]

Yes, every once in a while, it seems to idle rough. I’ve noticed that also I mentioned it to the dealer they reflash the computer, and it seems to have gone away.

[@christopheralexander5121]

I’ve had the same issue since buying mine. It’s usually at idle or when I release the gas at low speed. I haven’t taken it in yet but it’s good to know what dealers are doing to resolve it.

[@InteristaBoy88]

thank you so much for the video .. by the way they say if you choose the 2000 watts behind the rear seats you will hear a sound its like a fan sound and it is annoying ! .. is it right ?

Not that I’ve heard. The fan for the front seats is louder than I thought but nothing coming from back there. I’m thinking of doing another video like that so if you have random questions please let me know and I will add it to my next video.

That rattle you hear is your exhaust valve spring they make an upgraded one that is an actual spring The original one I don't know what it is it's garbage. Also your tailgate no reason to reach to close it just push up a little let it go it'll go up by itself or use your key fob.

Amazingly none of that rattles it’s really just the stupid exhaust and shocking to me that it’s common and Ford produced a product that rattles. Especially on a truck that literally has no rattle anywhere else. And is there a top-of-the-line? I’m sure it’s the flappers that change the exhaust settings.
