New to me Gen 2

[Dbone]

Let me start off with the fact that I love this thing! I have been trying to find ways to get out of the house since the purchase. I got a used 2018 802A w/ sticker and carbon fiber package. 87k miles. Since purchasing it a month ago I have changed the washer pump (dead bought from dealer), oil change(self) Wix Air Filter, Oem cabin filter, and fixed the nozzle spray system(old fluid and clogged). Additionally, I have done a couple of Forscan mods (folding mirrors, Auto S/S, internal cabin engine noise).
Came from a 2017 GMC Sierra 1500. The difference is redic. The gap between the two trucks is unreal. GG.

Additionally, I was also in a fender bender all before the first payment. Other driver admitted guilt and I got it All covered. But still took 1.5 weeks. Unfortunate and I definately felt that down time when I had a rental(ram 1500 big horn).

Congratulations to you and welcome to the forum.

I bought my second Raptor (2023) two months ago after selling my 2019 back in 2021 (a mistake).
I think Raptor's are the best pickup on the market far and away, unless you are regularly towing heavy loads and need a HD truck.

Sucks about the wreck, but wonderful about being in a Raptor. Welcome, and enjoy!

Thank you all for the welcome! I'm looking forward to driving it as stock for a while and then see where I want the performance. An aFe cold air and a new set of tires around the corner.

Also I'm in the Raleigh, NC area looking for some areas to go offroad if anyone knows of any good spots.

Welcome.

I had a 2016 GMC 1500 and that truck always had a heavy front end feel, it kind of lumbered around corners. Raptors are completely different

Congrats on the truck.

Skip the cold air and put that money towards a Goosetune. You'll thank me later!!

OK thank you and I will shoot for that next. Will that lower the life expectancy of my engine or nah? I did some research on this and couldn't find an answer.
