I've got a 2019 Oxford White as well. I installed an MPT tune this week and it really wakes the truck up. The tuned Raptor reminds me of a loaner X5 with the V8TT we got once when my wife's ride was in for service.

Nice I will look into MPT I was waiting on Cobb.

I had a 2014 M6 at one time in my life, so I feel you as far as performance drop off goes. All in all I much rather my Raptor to the M6 as a DD driver. In the Raptor I am never worried about hitting a pothole or having the bumper scrape a curb because I parked too close. Also, although different, I find the Raptor is more comfortable than the M6 on longer drives due to the softer suspension. Plus just the utility of having a truck for anything from bikes, to lowe's trips, to camping is awesome.

That being said, there are times where I do miss the insane pull my M6 had. So much power in those cars...

Yeah that’s for sure I love driving the Raptor and it’s much more practical (if a raptor can be practical) for me right now. I will miss the M5 though I took it for a short spin this morning and always puts a smile on my face. Even the cold start with the M performance exhaust is heavenly

Sprayed my fender wells today! Wow much better. Did it myself as I wasn’t paying $400 to the the only LineX installer I found that was willing to do it [emoji106] and wasn’t sure about the husky liners didn’t want to have to modify to show the shocks.

Waiting on COBB tune next then most likely a rigid 50” light bar for the roof and a SVC Mojave front bumper and SVC Baja rear bumper [emoji106] gotta slow down a bit though before the wife starts noticing [emoji120] and I have to buy more purses. I fell in love with Ken Blocks Raptor so that’s where I am heading but less extreme hopefully [emoji6]

Posted in other threads but want to keep everything here. Added the Cobb tune yesterday and E&G console safe last week. Tune really brings it to life. Console safe is perfect. Contemplating a Cobb intercooler and stage 2 when it’s available
