Hello all,
After years of wanting a Raptor I finally pulled the trigger on a 2018 Race Red 802A with 36k CPO. Loving the truck so far had it about 3 weeks. Just got the windows tinted and now I’m on the hunt for some new wheels. Debating if I should get the tailgate Applique or leave it as is.

Welcome to the place, congrats on a beautiful Raptor. I like it without the appliqué, it’s all preference though. Enjoy the forum!

Nice Find! Greetings from St. George UT.

Welcome aboard! Nice looking truck, but let the mods begin. I like the appliqué personally. The problem is the appliqué tailgate is entirely different than yours and has mounting holes all over it. You would need to change out a costly tailgate to do this. Another way would be to mod your tailgate or knock off all the mounts on the appliqué and use 3M auto double back trim tape. So I’d say just rock the tailgate you have and enjoy that beast.

Yeah I have been looking at the options and It looks like I will need a whole different tailgate no matter what since mine is an 18 and has the F150 stamped into it. We'll see what I do maybe someone that has an applique tailgate and wants to delete it will trade me lol.

I heard of people swapping before.

Beautiful Race Red Raptor. I wouldn't do anything to the tailgate. Big money to add that to it. I agree with the homies above.
I have some Fuel 20 inch Rims on 35 inch Toyo Open Country RT's. Have the ford tmps sensors in them and lug nuts. They have about 9-10K miles on them. Tire wear is even all around at 80 percent or so. Pm me Ill email you pics if interested. Im Az but make it out to So Cal a lot .
