GEN 2 2019 Raptor Differences

[BLACK_RAPTOR]

Thanks. I might have to try that. It feels dangerous going over bumps. Did you get the ramp option? I have it on my 18 and was wondering if I can remove them and put in my 19.

I haven't gotten on it that hard yet, but I did lower the tire pressure to 35 in front and 34 in back. When I drove it home from the dealer they were 46 all around and when I got home the outside 1-1/2" on each tire was clean, it had not touched the ground. That leaves a lot of rubber not working to keep everything in control. After I get used to it, I plan on going to 33 and 32 to see how that does. I now have about 300 miles on it and by this weekend I will have over 500 so time to "test" it out. I have found out that manufacturers put high pressures to help fuel mileage, although radial tires are not that effected (mileage wise) by pressure. However if only part of the tires touches the ground, it will help rolling resistance, and help mileage.

Also a couple of times I did need to put on the brakes harder than I like during the brake in period, and did not experience much front end dive at all.

Did not get the ramp option, my RZR has it's own trailer. I also intend to move the spare to the front of bed.

Did you get deavers?

Don’t know if this was in 18’ but was not in my 17’.

I wish the 18 had this info-

have to admit. LOVE my 18 but really like the 19 subtle changes. The stop n go feature for the adaptive cruise control and wifi Hotspot alone would be worth the upgrade for me. Extra info on air temp is gold. shocks I am sure shocks are a further refinement even if I don't experience excessive body roll or dive. Not compared to my 4runner

Should be a forscan change I’m sure

Are there pre-drilled holes in the bed line where the ramp clamp would go? I'm trying to determine if I can use my old ones or have to order new ones with my new build.

I love the all the new gauge information you can display...I think that is a nice upgrade no one is really talking about.

Agreed. This should have been available since 2017; they're just flipping a few bits. I imagine I can forscan it out after I'm out of warranty.

The 2019 also has AEB which, as a person who pays attention when driving, made the 2018 more attractive to me.

Somewhere in the 2019 info thread, there is link to a pretty quanitative list of the changes; I used it when making my decision between 2018 or 2019.

I'm going to have to drive one soon, but the reviews are suggesting the 2019 shocks are done right.... I may have to drown my regrets in 3.0 factories.

Correct because they have external adapters for the live dampening.

Shocks are measured by their bore size. A 3.0” shock is still a 3.0” shock regardless of the outer dimensions

Huck, IIRC our shocks actually aren't 3.0; they have a double wall for the internal bypass. That said, I think the livevalve are the same bore.
