Building the Perfect Raptor with OEM Parts Only

[OEMPlus Raptor]

Just a fun exercise to see what everyone comes up with. The rule is you can only use OEM Raptor Parts. I'll start and let me see what you all come up with.

Gen 1
Power Train 6.2L V8

Gen 2
Exterior Body, in Avalanche Grey
Gen 2 19-20 Beadlocks with optional FP Rings.

Gen 3
Complete Interior w/Recaro's in Black (I maybe cheating)
Gen 3, suspension with 37's.
Gen 3 37' Graphics ( I happen to like them)
Latest Gen 3 technology

Put it in the oven for a few hours and enjoy.

That’s true. Was hoping for more participation. But oh well

I wouldn’t do the Jen Juan powertrain. I’d consider a 6.2 in front of the 10R80, but unless it was cheap, cheap, cheap - Gen 3 power train.

Gen 3 suspension and interior EXCEPT I’d go for the ’17-’18 Fox shocks; the ones that don’t default to full resistance when a rock damages the harness...

Gen Juan tech. Seriously. Screw drive modes. Give me the 4a transfer case, ABS and nothing more. You get in the truck, start it up and drive. If you want 4h, you select 4h. Enough with the over complications.

Jen Too body, aesthetics. Since we’re going with Jen Juan tech, we take the finest from each revision. Of course, blue recaros would be OUT. Basic black interior. Basic FM radio - we’re going to upgrade it anyway, so stop upcharging us for cr@p faux high end audio. Just give me CarPlay over the air so I can have nav and a basic screen for it - Jen Too is plenty of screen, if that.

I'll say this, if were looking at SCABs, I think I like the Gen 1 body over the Gen 2. I got a neighbor with a Gen 1 SCAB and really like the look. Perhaps the front end just looks less detailed with corners and angles and such...and SCAB looks more like a no nonsense version of the Raptor.

Easy. Gen 2/3 powertrain, Gen 2 body, Gen 3 interior, Gen 3 suspension.

Agreed, I’d even settle for the plain Coyote V8

I had the chance to drive one on a 2018 standard cab, it was a rocket! Raptor is so much heavier though, and with the 35” tires, I think that 110 lb-ft torque deficit would be pretty detrimental to performance.
