Nice to be back...2020 Raptor

Are you going to post a pic of your black Prius?

Welcome (back). Did you look at the Tremor package for the SD as an option? Curious what it's like going from SD to our Gen2 Raptors.

Really annoyed you can only get the Tremor package in Super Crew, not in Super Cab. Not every one needs a 4 door limo.

Hello mates! Pretty stoked to be picking up my new 2020 Black Raptor this Friday.

I had a very early Gen 1, 2012 if i remember correctly(which I loved), although been away for a while with some Super Duty’s (which I also love). I am excited to see first hand just how far they have come along....and what SVT have advanced.

Still doing plenty of “back reading” and catching up on the 2020 Gen 2 changes.... but if there is any immediate suggestions or recommendations... I am all ears.

Also, I have read the 98784865 threads towing (punchline 8000lbs max) and believe its pretty clear not a Raptor’s strength. That said, and maybe I am simply looking for some reassurances here from those with experience... can I safely assume towing 5000lbs (boat + trailer) comfortably once a month a 100miles or so is not a problem? I would think not considering the 8000lb max rating, but....

Anyhow, great forum....tons of knowledge here. Nice to be aboard and back with a Raptor.

Just like the Raptor, they look better in four doors, all day... 365 24/7

You won’t have any problem towing 5000#. I pull a +/- 6000# 26’ travel trailer with my 19’ SCAB which is only rated 6000# and it pulls great. Make sure you use a WD hitch and use Tow Mode and you won’t even feel like you are towing anything.
You will love your Gen 2 compared to your previous Gen 1 although you will miss the sound of the V8 you will learn to accept the sound of the Eco Boost but you will love the performance.
Welcome to the forum.

Agree to disagree...
