    GEN 2 Exhaust Reccomondation’s

    Today was the day... that a Corsa box arrived at my door. That was pretty darn fast. With some luck I’ll be driving a Velocity Blue ricer tomorrow.

    GEN 2 Opinions. Take off 2019 bead locks or new method racing mr309 wheels?

    I have the 2019 Beadlocks and totally dig the style. But... I’m correct to assume that we can’t run any upper arms due to the offset correct? Ok... just not upper arms with larger than a 1.25” Uniball. Right? So keep the stock wheels or keep the stock upper arms. Wish they went...

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    An interesting thread would be... “What do you do for work?” Somebody did this on another forum I visit. The demographics seem similar. There’s some pretty cool toys in this thread. Probably a few mid life crisis, divorces and divorces in the making here too. Great pivot into “How much...

    GEN 2 Exhaust Reccomondation’s

    Tons of great vendors on this forum, all very helpful. I had contacted Nick@GotExhaust and ended up grabbing the Corsa Sport. The transaction was smooth and I should have my muffler by the end of the week. All of the vendors have been amazing so sincerest thanks for your contribution to the...

    GEN 2 What else is in your garage?

    My wife hates me... a blown 89’ Fox Body and a 67’ Mustang Coupe. The 89’ was my first car and has tons of mods. The 67’ has an interesting story. The condensed version is I won a few bucks in Vegas and landed... said “here’s a purse, now please drop me off in East La and Hopefully I’ll...

    Towing with 2019 Raptor vs 2018 Raptor

    I too was somewhat skeptical and thought I’d be pushing the limits stock on my 19. Fox bumps were pretty cool on my last whip (and to help towing) but I never “wanted” to depend on them. I’m pretty confident the way it towed stock. I loaded things strategically but did not bring the pair...

    Towing with 2019 Raptor vs 2018 Raptor

    It’s 600-700 LBS. I loaded the trailer carefully with more of the heavy stuff over the axles to balance it out. Normally I wouldn’t care but just did for peace of mind. Towed it out camping today. Did pretty darn good. I think the track width is totally a benefit.

    Towing with 2019 Raptor vs 2018 Raptor

    Thanks. Trailer’s GVWR is 7K lbs. , around 5500 Dry. We had it fairly loaded.

    Towing with 2019 Raptor vs 2018 Raptor

    This is my 2019 hitched up last night. I have a Blue Ox Hitch and got it dialed in from the last truck. The trailer is 24’ and surprisingly it doesn’t sag anymore than my 2014 F-150 rated at 10K plus. The only “weird” thing is I unhooked the trailer and it took some driving to get the...

    2019 Shocks vs. ?

    That’s a tough one but this may help... A few factors might be in play. Bucking could be contributed to a) the speed limit of a jump, you found it. Especially if you’re referring to a whoop section. Your shocks could be fading if hot. B) where is the bucking coming from? Front or...

    2019 Shocks vs. ?

    Ok, so in summary... 2019 Live Valve trumps 2018, I’m talking stock to stock set up. Now 2019 shocks compared to aftermarket, obviously make a difference specific to fade due to fluid volume. So theoretically the ideal scenario is the live valve technology with a shock that allows more fluid...

    2019 Shocks vs. ?

    Today was a good day, I got my new truck in the dirt. The adaptive shocks are legit and I had all the intention of keeping this thing “stockish.” Aside from added oil capacity, less fade and blah blah blah... anybody have feedback on 2019 shocks vs. aftermarket? Or real world...

    Today’s the day...

    I went through the same debate... Super Duty vs. Raptor. I put it in the dirt for the 1st time today and it reassured me I made the right decision. You made the right choice :)

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    Well, I can proudly say I am now the owner of a 2019 Velocity Blue CC. I had most of the paperwork prepped in advance, walked in and we sat right down. The sales pitch began and I busted out the laptop and started playing with the numbers. They couldn’t get me into Finance fast enough to...

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    Thanks. That’s probably a good move too. Ford is @ 6.1% and Credit Union oddly is 4.1 for 72 months and 3.9 at 60. But, used is 3.29 on 72. These loan terms are longer than I’m used to but it’s almost worth lest down and a higher rate if you can invest otherwise. Having a $900...

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    Thanks for the fast reply. I have a unique situation, current truck is in with warranty work. So I’m calculating the ROI of them giving me sticker since I’ve been without my daily driver for 2 weeks. They want to gouge me on the trade in, but by end of day they offered an extra $2350.00 on...

    Does Anyone actually buy a Raptor at MSRP?

    Hey. New member here. Been lurking for a while and might take the plunge. Was made an offer today for sticker on an 802a Truck with no dealer markup. The truck is relatively local, in stock and ready to roll. Any thoughts?
