As far as minimum upgrades day 1 I'd say:

1). Catch can. I don't buy into all the hype and the current Ecoboost is dual injection so buildup isn't an issue.
I mainly installed it as a precaution against any subsequent blow by that WILL occcur. It can't hurt and will only help
by improving octane if nothing else. As the engine wears and you use the turbo you'll catch a little oil.

2). Mud flaps. You will keep so much crap off the side of your truck you'll be amazed. I used
2017-2019 Ford Raptor Logo Gatorback Mud Flaps - Custom Fit Front and Rear from SharpTruck.com.

3). Follow the suggested break-in procedure in the manual.


Other than paint protection/film/coating the Trucks are solid and you should be happy.

All other upgrades are pure preference/performance/practicality based on your individual tastes

What do you suggest for a 2019 Raptor for a catch can?

Better leaf springs, icon would be my 1st option. Everything else i see the coating flakes and they rust so fast.
You should start with yours first then report back!

View attachment 128219 With my truck being in route and on it’s way home I am already planning on what must be done when it gets here.

Any recommendations on what’s absolutely Must Be Done on these trucks? And I am not talking about adding tint, clear bra or detailing it... I am more curious to know if there are any upgrades must me done to improve reliability, performance, towing, ride quality, etc.

Thanks in advance!
Great question. I just bought my black one Friday. What a beast.

Great question and congrats. New owner here as well. Bought a black one on Friday. I’m overwhelmed with just the standard stuff this truck has. I may wait til warranty is out then get a Cobb power package

Maybe a hidden winch mount and warn

And definitely the front lights where the fog lights should be

I didn’t realize mud flaps were a common add on

Thanks!

Considering lead springs too but after reading some feedbacks from others not sure I want to deal with all the issues some are having
