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!!

[@4liter]

Awesome, showcases a lot of things I’ve wondered about and haven’t seen yet. Thanks! Hopefully I get my “built/shipped” email this week. Also, nice Sea Dweller 🤙🏼

Awesome video finally an actual Raptor user video with very good info. Thanks for posting this.

[@bobbygfl]

Thank you!

[@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!

[@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

[@TBagr]

Good content. I’m also in Fl with a ‘23 that has the 37 package.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks!!

[@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.

[@robertdevito9677]

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

The Raptor is my dream truck. Would love to have 2024 Raptor R. Ill keep dreaming. While I drive my hoopa with 250,000 miles. Torn sests, drooping celing, leaks and I get that awesome burnt oil smell. Better than the Gulf Breeze in Pensacola, Fl

[@bobbygfl]

Thank you very much for the comment. If it were not for dreams, there would be no reality!

[@johngordon2929]

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

Thanks!

[@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

[@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

[@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 ?

[@bobbygfl]

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.

[@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.

[@wyliecoyote5.082]

Awesome video again! How did you get your outside mirrors to tuck when you locked the doors?

[@bobbygfl]

It’s an option in the settings menu. Thanks!!

[@panamaredeye]

Older models you can do it with forscan

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@anilbouri1485]

Just push up a little on the tailgate it will close automatically

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks I did not know this until somebody else commented. Duh lol

[@giowrld3boss308]

Do you know how to make the lights turn off faster after you lock the truck ? For some reason it takes almost 10 min for them too turn off on mine I have gen 3 as well

[@bobbygfl]

no, but i thought i saw something about this in one of the menus. if i find it ill reply back.

[@dallasdavidson4595]

The tailgate will raise automatically if you lift up on it slightly.

[@bobbygfl]

that's great to know, thank you!

[@bryanachee7133]

My 2022 is rapid red. Under the hood is a much darker matte metallic red. Any plans to do the climate knob swap to the ones with the digital displays?

[@bobbygfl]

That’s interesting. Good to know thanks! The climate knobs I’m not sure are possible because the programming has the temp on the screen. I wonder if it’s as easy as just swapping them.

[@wescain3184]

Do you happen to notice a light buzz or vibration in the gas pedal? I’ve got a 2022 and am having this issue. Nothing major but can be aggravating.

[@usup7770]

I use to get that vibrations in traffic. Also I guess 90-100F in Dallas is making the engine to vibrate. I dont get any vibrations on highway speed.

[@bobbygfl]

mo, zero. a bit of vibration from the back end. feels like a wheel balance issue

[@Jay-bw3fl]

Man take a look at any new wrangler front doors by the hinges and you’ll feel a lot better about your doors lol

[@bobbygfl]

Lol. Crazy. You don’t see it until you see it. Then you can’t unsee it. You’d think they would make them better.

[@Jay-bw3fl]

@@bobbygfl Yep you’re right. The doors are aluminum and idk if they put the hinges on by hand or by robot but either way they clearly push way too hard when screwing them on. Some are worse than others. I’ve seen some that half the door is dented from the hinge lol mine is thankfully not quite that bad but I have trained myself not to look at it anymore haha

[@kevinbrost1577]

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

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks!

[@loveforkicks]

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.

[@edwinlecounte918]

Can you give us the part number for the start/stop switch?

[@bobbygfl]

Hi Waht brand is your cargo divider?

[@bobbygfl]

I got it on Amazon. There’s a new model. Just search on Amazon.

[@twisskevin4853]

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. You seem very picky like myself about vehicles The best investment you can make for that truck is a set of power running boards so much nicer getting in and out of.

[@bobbygfl]

Thank you!

[@bartlawhorn2762]

Panels are sorted so if it’s getting painted black it’s perfect.

[@bobbygfl]

Thanks for the comment

[@kcc3465]

The doors are wavy due to being aluminum. Most all manufacturers that have aluminum doors there are waves. Some are worse than others

[@bobbygfl]

Porsche, zero waves. From what I’ve learned it’s the power of the press. Very high pressure stamps which are very expensive to maintain have no waves.

[@bobbygfl]

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. It’s just very unfortunate ford didn’t get this right.
