That makes a lot of send ProfZeus! Do most alignment shops know how to adjust alignment using the upper control arms? I beat up my Gen 1 pretty good out here in the NV desert and it had upgraded 3.0s, bumps and Deavers but I never did uppers or tie rod. I could have gotten lucky but never had...

tell me more about the full court press on a 2 year old flagship race car....... the ACTUAL NOW is a blown 5.2 and a 7.3 like NOW as in YOU CANT EVEN BUY ONE YET. let reality set in, the 3.5 had its few years, with dodge confirming the hellcat truck, unfortunately your full court press flagship...

I've never not had a v8 in a truck until my 19 Raptor. Before that it was a 2014 Raptor that I owned for 5 years and older model F150/250s. It's not close to how the 19 out performs my 14 (I upgraded 14 with fox 3.0s, deavers, The Tune and bumps 2 years in). I've drove the shit out of that 14...

There's no doubt anyone can and has the right to be disappointed with any purchase they make...hell, I've been there. When it comes to the Raptor, I feel the majority of the disappointed owners come from prior ownership of high performance cars. To expect a 6,000lb+ truck to perform on road...

Your truck, you choose how you want it to look! I don't use it because that shit is an absolute dirt magnet. I frequent the Nevada desert often so I avoid using it always. I've used it on past 4x4s but it won't work for me in how I use my Raptor.

Anyone upgrade their upper control arms and have some feedback on if it was worth it or not? Besides the added strength/durability was there noticeable benefit? Looks I could care less about but if there is added benefit off-roading then I'll upgrade them when upgrade the rest of my suspension.

Agree!

Anyone hear any updates from Fox regarding the Live Valve upgrade kit being released from Fox? Looks like Jzweedyk was told around July but I can't find any press releases/announcements from Fox hinting about the possibility. Would love to see it released and a welcome upgrade to the 2019s!

I've had my my AWE 1FG installed since 300 miles on my 19...absolutely legit in my opinion. Barks when it needs too, no drone on highway speeds. I'm impressed and this if my first V6 ever, previous was a 14 Raptor with big block magnaflow.

Airing down for proper offload usage is mandatory but you don't have to go to the extreme with it either. I just finished a desert run (77 miles) all dirt today running 38F, 34 rear with some heavy washboards with no issue of control in my 19. I would air down more for offloading but that...

I off-road and venture into the middle of nowhere solo basically 100% of the time. I'm always prepared and everyone on this thread has offered great suggestions. I also recommend a Spot Gen 3 (satellite messenger w/GEOS S.O.S.). If you don't want to purchase one I think you can rent them...

I disagree, it would look better dirty. Too each they're own but it was built to murder off-road trails. Sadly, most Raptors don't ever see the dirt but there's nothing more enjoyable then shredding the desert at a 100+ mph!

You'll still get that "Network Connection Needed" even if you have the latest Sync 3 software version (3.3). I have the latest Sync software installed and still get the message. I believe, I read in another thread that Ford was aware of this issue and it will be fixed in a future update...

Nah, I'm good with my neighbors but I dislike people who have unreasonable expectations. If by starting my Raptor once every morning bothers someone then the issue is with them not the Raptor. Thus, I would never appease someone who thinks that way. I would also pray for them if they ever...

Gotcha! I was gonna say, tell those neighbors to F off but I get it. Glad you got it to work! Now just put it in manual mode, 1st gear when you leave every morning! Cheers!

I'm curious why you would adjust your exhaust tone to suit your neighbors? I mean, unless you live in a neighborhood with extreme CCR rules (I would suggest moving) I can't see why a vehicle's exhaust system would be an issue with your neighbors?

If you can't find a deal in CA, check out Cedar City Ford in Cedar City, UT. Not too far from CA and an excellent purchasing experience. I ordered my 19 from them at MSRP and they don't markup any vehicles. East Coast will always get ya below MSRP but Raptor demand/usage is different here on...

Always a good practice to keep the stock exhaust. I have the 1FG installed and couldn't be happier with it. It's all personal preference but I think AWE has produced an excellent exhaust suite for Gen 2. This is coming from a person who has never owned a V6, car or truck ever.

You could remove them, have them powder coated...I've done this on my 14 Screw! The removal of the beauty ring will not compromise the integrity of your tire/rime and you can drive normally. I'm not aware of an aftermarket company that produces stainless steel bolts for the bead-lock beauty...

There's nothing like driving that truck for 100 miles or more in the desert averaging between 70-100mph +... at least nothing with A/C, air cooled seats, CarPlay and some cupholders!

Drive that Rap out to NV and let it flourish in its natural habitat!!! I Kid...it's great to hear that Ohio is reppin Raptors and looking to off-road and not just put on 20" rims and drive to Starbucks! I do recommend experiencing driving your Raptor for what it was truly made to do...a lot of...

Your wife is making you sell your Raptor or the exhaust?

Congrats and welcome from another Southern NV bruddha!
