Thanks, I'm getting in city 10mpg and hwy 13.9mpg, I plan on re gearing since it has stock 3.11 gears on 35s

Hmmm... fwiw, I get similar mileage (11/15) in my ecoboost with 37's and 3.73's. I'm planning to go to 4.56 or 4.88, haven't decided yet.

Nice Ranger... welcome to the forum!

Nice truck! Welcome to the forum.

I would recommend a wider rear axle and bedsides, either Raptor or aftermarket parts, to complete the "Raptor look."

... I was saying that it be bad ass if they came out with a eco boost raptor but hasn't happen until SDHQ came out with there eco raptor. they used a raptor frame and swap everything from a eco boost over when that's just a waste of money when the raptor upper and lower arms and shocks bolt right on.

Yeah I think SDHQ started with a SCAB EcoBoost and swapped to a Raptor frame and all the Raptor suspension. It's a sweet truck, but expensive. Coming from a factory built Raptor, other than the interior aesthetics, I think what I would miss most is not being speed limited for the locking rear differential even in 2WD.

Nice Ranger too! I built a few pre-1998 beamed Rangers in my younger days, but never got around to back halfing and linking one like yours.

Thanks bud and everyone else with the positive feed backs. I plan on doing much more to my truck but that would be later after I'm completely done with my pre runner. As of now I'll be ordering gears for it and possibly 3.0 foxs.



Ya I'm originally from imperial valley born and raised dezert rat haha. That run does sound awesome to do and I've been wanting to do it as well. Hopefully I can do run with some of u members

Imperial valley huh? I grew up in holtville, so I know your pain! Lol

No need for bed sides when the ones I have are raptor fiberglass bedsides

That's great. I've got a Raptor and get 15.7 - 16.1 mpg highway with the 6.2

Enjoy your new ride!
