Hockster's 2018 Raptor Build

Looking forward to checking this build out!

Can't wait to see what you do. I have the same truck on order.

Congrats on your 3rd Raptor.
Is be interested in hearing your thoughts on the trucks after owning now all three engine platforms offered.

What did you do with the '12 you had?

Hey, I traded in the 12 in. The 5.4 was ok of course way under powered but still a fun ass truck. The 6.2 power was great I loved it well I thought I loved it untill I drove the 3.5EB. Not true I still love the 6.2 for the sound but having the max TQ band at 2500rpm instead of 4500rpm is truly badass. I turn on the highway hit the gas and in seconds im doing 80! lol

I cant comment on how it is off road or in snow yet but thats coming soon

Woot woot - congrats on your 3rd Raptor!

Hey all just wanted to do a small shout out about my 2018 Scab Raptors latest on road trip.
1. Having the first 5.4L 2010 Scab for 2.5 years and doing the exact same drive up to Michigan regularly the ride and feel of this new truck is sweet! The old gen 1 felt slow and well, it felt like a truck. Ya ya ya I know that 8 years of technology makes a huge difference but still its leaps and bounds better than the first Raptor. The electric steering is a huge part of why it feel so crisp on the road. It is also a bit lighter but that really didnt feel like the main cause of the feel.

2. MPG's, running my 2010 empty I easily avg 16 all the time driving 5mpg over the limits. The 2018 empty at 5 over the limit I avg 16.8 and the speed limits are 5mpg higher now than they were in 2010. Loaded with 1k lbs the 2010 at its best was 13 the 2018 this trip up loaded with 1k lbs avg 15.3.
I will be heading up again this summer with the same trailer with the same cargo inside and will see what the mpg's are in comparison.

3. I have yet to do any off road stuff that will come this Jan at the snoball, so more to come

Looking good!! Snoball this year?
