Like many of you, I've wanted this truck for a very long time.

A close friend of mine works at Ford and when the SVT Raptor first came out, we had a chance to go to a bunch of the events. We were super young then, way out of our depth, but I instantly fell in love with them.

This week I finally was able to make that dream come true and picked up the exact one I was looking for. Somehow, it was local to me at Fugate Ford in Enumclaw, WA. I can't rate them high enough, they were excellent to work with. In and out in an hour with the truck fully detailed and gassed up.

Welcome to FRF
#OneLessprius

Maybe someone with some firsthand experience can comment; I noticed your intended uses include towing + you are spec’ing both the S8 and Onx6 ; the S8 will block only a minimal amount of flow to the radiator. The Onx6 will block a bit of flow to the intercooler though. I don’t think it would be an issue for a street driven truck, but we have had users report issues with front mount intercoolers and grill blocking lights.

Whatever mods you decide on, she looks like a great truck.

I agree with the comments from a lot of people on here. You have a lot of expertise people on here. Ford Tech one is a great source of info. John M will really have some great pics to look at.

Congrats on the new addition. Nice color too!

Looks like you have been busy doing your homework. If those are the original KO2's, the road noise will be much less. I just put new ones on mine, almost about 37K miles out of the original set. Enjoy!
