You can go much higher, it’s all about what tip you use. Cue OLDFART.

seriously I use my 3100psi with a 40 degree tip and never had an issue

I picked up one of these during Black Friday at Home Depot for $59. My kids use it to wash their cars. However, for the Raptor, if I've been offroading in mud, I typically go to a car wash for the higher pressure.

Will this one allow different tips to be attached. I wont be using the turbo tip, but will the 15 degrees be to aggressive ?

Also will this one attach a foam cannon to it?

sorry noob questions, trying to upgrade but not tear the paint up

1600psi is what I have. Keep nozzle 12-16” away from the paint - should be fine.

I ordered additional tips and a foam cannon off Amazon. They work fine with it

I bought a cheap no name brand similar to the one in your link. While I don't have anything to compare it to, I feel it works great!

I really like Chemical Guys Watermelon Snow Foam though. You can get it off Amazon as well

More important than PSI is GPM. If you're going electric, find the highest GPM that you can. It will help if you're using a foam cannon.
