Finally pulled the trigger and got my ruby red one this past weekend! I'll post some pics up later today :)

Looking forward to getting it full bolt ons and on E85, like most of my other cars, asap.

What do y'all suggest as must have items for "new" owners?

802a, got lucky and ended up fully loaded with tailgate step etc and the "supposedly" rare carbon interior package

Edit...

She will be mostly on pavement lol (i know) but more of a hiker / beach truck on some weekends, when schedule allows

Welcome and congrats. Just spend some time in the forum. Your pockets will start to drain. There’s a bed cover, lighting, tunes, engine bolt on’s, springs, etc etc etc.

If you want to run an E85 mix, there are a few ways to go about it. Obviously the stock fuel system wouldn’t be able to feed enough pure E85 to the motor.


Enjoy that beast. Pics? Must have to be taken seriously.

forgot to mention that I do own a performance shop and am an authorized Cobb Pro tuner ;)

hence the E85... just a ton of stations by me and as a tuner, I like the extra room it creates as far as its burn properties etc... in short, you make good power in a safer environment compared to pump 93.

yea been stalking the forums for a few months before deciding on the purchase. Had to have the B&O system, hence the 2018 MY.

well she's got 25k miles at the moment and usual routine for me on a used vehicle is to switch out all the fluids.

Thinking Amsoil or Motul. What is the majority preference here?

BTW... This Raptor will be on pavement lol at least 75% of its time, bought it for me and the gf and two 65lb pitties that go hiking and beach runs when time allows. Hope that helps with y'all suggestions on some mods!

Good looking truck! That paint talks. So you have the performance end of things down. Are you going to run a mix or straight E85? No doubt it delivers.

You will find most here run Amsoil Signature. I do myself as well. Oil Analysis by some who sent there’s out get 5-6k. I prefer 5k anyway. I know someone that swears by Motul but have no experience with it. A lot of opinions when it comes to oil as you know.

Where about on the island are you? Seems to be many of these beasts out there.
