All the cat backs sounds similar to the Ford Performance/Borla and that will get you the most sound improvement over stock (while keeping the resonator). Deleting the resonator can make it sound super raspy - something people like it, some don't. Sounds like you're in the latter camp.

My OEM pads were down to the metal at 45K, but I had 12+ offroad events on them too. Not surprised if you are doing mostly highway or no offroading they could last a long time.

Did the powerstop Z36 and they are great for the price - $500 vs. several thousand for Alcons.

You said you replaced your front shocks 5K miles ago did they put on fresh strut mounts too? I tore the rubber out of both of mine so the shock was moving up and down a little when going over bumps. Probably not your issue, but take a look next time you have the hood open.

Leave the antenna stock and if it twangs off something then you know to be cautious. I hit the bedside of my truck in a parking garage once because I am a dummy so I stay out of ones that aren't 7' or more too annoying to get around in

I'd like to thank the spammers for bumping this two year old thread, but I can once again confirm that my bed has not fallen off yet despite reusing the original bed bolts four years ago.

You can't replace the LED bulbs in the stock units hence the brighter units being the whole thing and costing $1500+. You might consider a fog light kit with SAE/DOT pods for use on regular roads.

Sort of with the 2019 nearly all trucks had the $9K 802a option and tech package ($1500) which you don't need to add to the 2023 as they're standard...inflation also 20% over the past five years too

Are you offroading? If not, are 35s not enough to get over the drive through curb? Do you like the suicide doors or would you rather have regular ones? If you're going to use the additional functionality of the newer larger truck it would make sense.

You want Mopar 05170492AA - it's what I have in my bed. You just have to grind the center a wee bit to get the bed bolts to sit flush again. https://www.getoemparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-ring-retainer-ring-5170492aa

You can go 20+ miles once the dash says zero miles to empty. Couple youtube vids of "how many miles past zero" in regular F150s and they end up with 30-50 miles so figure the raptor will be slightly less.

I believe Flood Ford only offers plans for vehicles still under the factory warranty or near it. You can try Ziegler - you'll have to get an inspection at a dealer too (since you are outside factory warranty).

If you still have the stock parts and are capable of swapping them out yourself seems like a no brainer to me. You think control arms add $1500 of value with regular front shocks?

6/60 is pretty low unless you are hardly driving the truck. 8/60 is only $300 more. Do Zeigler or Flood over the dealer. 7-8/100 is the sweet spot for daily drivers imo.

But why? They don't have to sell you a vehicle if they think someone else will pay more for it. How many Raptors have you bought with this method...Gen 3s are still over MSRP in many parts of the country... OP you might get more going private party especially with those mods, but you have to...
