Hellcat Replacement: SVT Raptor

Happy you are happy OP. A HC Charger sure seems like a damn fine DD to me, but hope you enjoy that Raptor.

It was an awesome DD. 12.5MPG on the street and never left me stranded over the 16K miles I drove it. I still can't believe it got 24MPG highway. I owned it for 16 months and I never got pulled over. Which is crazy considering the things I did with that car lol

I like the swap. Dont get me wrong, I love a 4 door sedan that rolls out but I love being able to go anywhere in my daily. I'm not in a raptor but my trd pro is a very capable truck that I dont have to worry about. Good move

Ya I always wanted a Raptor but it wouldn't fit in my garage. So I moved and now was the time haha!

Also the dealer offered me more than the Raptor was selling for so no sales tax. I walked away with a good chunk of change that I can put into the Bronoc build plus my payment drops quite a bit. So far Im not regretting it one bit. I do see myself in a Hellcat again though.

You posted that on the Raptor FB page? Looks familiar.
You live in the perfect state to play with a Raptor.

Yes I did! I know I cant wait to do some trail running. Endless options within 45 mins of my place. Plus I can use the Raptor to pre-run routes for the Bronco. I also plan on taking the Raptor to Baja

I don't know that I could have done that myself, but congrats OP!

Ive had 5 Mustangs, an SRT Jeep and the Hellcat. First truck and probably the baddest production truck ever made. Definitely a downgrade but not by much

This guy doesn't have a Raptor and already has the mod addiction for the truck. lol

Good luck keeping it stock OP. First truck I did suspension and bumpers(departure angles) and exhaust. Stripped it and sold it.

Second one I said I'll keep it stock. Only did a supercharger, exhaust and wheels/tires. lol

Looking back, could of done a Long travel kit instead with all the money I blew on both trucks.

Congrats OP! Nice looking truck!
Enjoy.

Same for me.

Congrats on the truck looks clean! I've always liked the white ones. You will never get tired of it. I've had mine over 6 years now and I swear I'll never get rid of it. There is a currently a transmission recall if you didn't know. Check that out. Put a 5 star tune in her and a dirty deeds exhaust and it will be hard to stay out of the pedal.

Nice choice! I swapped my 03 cobra for my 13 screw raptor and love it. A beast of a family car with major cool factor.

Ha I did exactly the same. I really miss that car but having this truck I never looked back.

Is that the downshift issue? I thought that was 2011 to 2013 F150s

nice raptor, not sure if I could do that even for a 19EB Raptor.

Congrats, lots of fun right there. I was hesitant moving to a 2019 Raptor as my 20k mile a year DD, 1000% happy I did. Take care....

Really? Did you actually look at the pictures?

No ecoboost 10-14 in the raptor. Only 5.4/6.2. Also its a 6.2L

I believe the tq was 436. Not 401. That may have been for the F250s. Raptors made the most HP/TQ with the 6.2

Damn dude, coming out the gate sideways. A whole lot of people have no idea about the Raptor. Even a lot of owners have no idea. I’ve seen so many questions why their truck only does a one wheel peel.

Lol dude it says 6.2L on the truck in the picture. Not sure what else you want the op todo. Maybe he should just copy and paste the 2014 ford Raptors spec sheet.

If common sense is your definition of sideways you have a long extremely tough way to go in life my friend

Sorry, no I didn't look at all the pics. Was just asking a question. No need to get touchy about it.
