The algorithm brought me to your video. I took delivery of a new Raptor on 3/19/22. You can prompt the system to make a call when in Bluetooth by promoting the Sync system to do it, or do what I do and leverage your wireless Apple Car play, long press the “speak” button and tell Apple to call who you want to call, when call is over, hit that button again. As for on board power, there is a TSB at your dealer to fix the fans. I agree with the carbon, I didn’t opt for it as the paid for carbon package looks too similar to the base trim. Power curve has already been proven to be greater output via Goosetuned’s independent Dyno run. Enjoy the truck man! I know I do.

Thanks for the comment! Almost at 15k miles… the other new complaint is the suspension clunking. It’s currently at the dealer for the driveshaft/insulation recall, the TSB for the fan noise from the onboard power and the suspension clunk. Yea I realize there’s other ways around not having the dedicated buttons like the gen 2’s had. Really wish I had the R mode like the 22’s. These are all minor complaints… if you see my other videos, it’s been an awesome truck! Thanks for stopping by and commenting; truly appreciate it.
