Hi all, a quick update of my 10 day off road tour first impressions with my new 2023/2022 Ranger Raptor.
In short: It excelled my expectations. Small whish: just a couple of centimetres higher of the ground would be nice.
The onboard assist systems are just amazing.
Hi! for the rock crawling i was surprised how well and "smooth" it goes over all kind of rockformations.
Winch plate: i used the Swarfworks one and had to reposition the Intercooler upwards F150 Gen2 Winchmount
HI all sorry for the late reply .. was on the Island of Sardinia with the Raptor .. see post :)

Hey ViMo
This is a high performance engine and Trans - demanding a lot when Off road - so i like to change all fluids and filters after 20K - need to be sure about the operation of these, when you're up there - not many helicopters can lift a Raptor of a mountain ;) - would be expensive too

HI John - i installed the Warn winch with the Swarfworks Mount. You will also need to reposition the Intercooler - which involves getting a new one :) I got a ADD one - nice stuff !! SwarfWorks
