What's up ya'll! Been reading around the forums for some time now. Figured id chime in. Back in February I traded in my 2015 Toyota Tacoma for a 2019 Ford Raptor super crew. Had been looking for the right one for a few months and finally found it. Agate black 2019 with 25,000 miles, 802a, CF package, raptor tech package, pano roof, and couple other options I liked. It was completely stock except for the AFE intake. Would have preferred stock airbox but oh well, it was already there. Managed 67k out the door for the truck...and got more than I paid for out of my 15 Taco (owned 4 years and paid off).

I had been doing my research and almost immediately snagged up a 93oct tune from Goosetune and installed a CVF intercooler and colder plugs. Made my own front plate bracket. Enkei RPT wheels in bronze with new factory size KO2s. Took the Baja Designs fogs off my Taco and made brackets and a harness for them. Then did a full paint correction. She's looking exceptional these days.

Appreciate the warm welcome! Ive owed my fair share of 400-700hp cars over the years. This truck isn't the absolute fastest but its certainly fast enough considering its weight and capabilities.

As for the performance upgrades, I think everyone here will agree, the single best thing you can do for the 2nd gen is get Goosetuned.
