New Here

[Chuckaroo91]

New here, but suspect I'll get sucked into the forum based on past experience. Was looking for a 2019-2020 Raptor and figured the forum would be a great place to find one and came across a post for a 2022 order that someone backed out of and locked it in.

Was out of a truck for a bit, but the last truck was a 2020 Superduty with a fully optioned Carli Pintop kit. Was bummed to sell it but had some shift in the family (newborn twins) that required some vehicle change ups.

Excited to get into the Raptor platform and see what it can do!

You'll miss the sound and torque of that Diesel. I switched from a 2018 Raptor to a mint mild built 2016 Cummins and I love it. The 5" turbo back exhaust, the turbo spool and the 17mpg in town and 22-24 on the highway is hard to beat. I do miss the smooth ride and the more spacious interior, especially back seat of the Raptor. I'm about to upgrade shocks though as she rides pretty stiff compared to the half ton Fox shocked Raptor, looking at a Carli/Fox kit.

Probably will. Wife is in a diesel escalade, so not sure I want to have two diesel vehicles with diesel prices where they are hah. I'll give the Raptor a try and see what happens.

Would very very highly recommend the Carli kit. I went straight to the King pintop but have a buddy with the fox setup and its really nice on-road and quite a bit better off-road. Are you towing a bunch?

Don't get me wrong, I still miss my Raptor at times but it was the right move for me to sell it at market conditions and I got a killer deal on this 16 Cummins. Practically brand new with 13,000 miles. Who knows, maybe someday I'll buy another low mile Get 2 or wait a few years and get a Get 3. My old man is looking at a diesel Escalade or Yukon Denali with the diesel, how is it? I told him to just get the 6.2 lol.

I don't feel like dropping a ton into the suspension so I will probably go with their entry level kit around $1,250-$1,500. That's good to hear, probably the same one I'm looking at with the Fox shocks, Carli Springs and I will probably throw on a Carli steering stabilizer as well, I think it's around the $1,300 mark. If so that's good to know! I don't tow anything with it, occasionally a load of dirt, mulch, etc but never heavy towing. It's tuned and deleted since 4,000 miles, s&b cold air intake, pusher intake, arp head studs, Fass 165 and 5" jam turbo back with muffler. I use my 99 2nd Gen Cummins 5spd for the heavy work or towing. I use this for daily driving when I need or want to but I'm soon buying a sport-bike so I don't want to drop thousands on suspension. If the same kit I think your buddy is running that I'm also looking at, I may go that route! It rides nice but man is she stiff, bouncy and shakes on these uneven beat up Dallas roads and bumps, whereas the Raptor just kinda hugged the road and bumps and soaked it all in, my Ram kinda hops over it all so I'm hoping this Carli kit will help.

Welcome to FRF.

I traded in my '16 superduty for a '18 Raptor. I miss the superduty but the Raptor is fun. Can not compare the two.
