Unfortunately, the Raptor wasn't great for towing. I was tired of worrying about payload and having to borrow my brother's Ram when I needed to tow something a bit heavier.

Goodbye to the '18 Raptor with 40K miles for the same price I paid for it. This was after reverting it to stock.

Currently researching all the modifications I can (first needs to be side steps. My wife is 5'4 and is pissed having to climb into the truck now). Looking at a Carli suspension setup, wheels and tires, and hopefully some performance parts.

Only complaints about the Ram is the ridiculous throttle response and some wind noise (I believe its from the windshield).

Welcome to RamForum, nice truck. Re throttle response, do you plan to tune? If not, just grab one of the Pedal products (Commander or Monster).

Welcome. Look at the AMP power steps or similar - one of the best mods as far as I’m concerned. Keep in mind Carli quotes 20% payload reduction - since you mention towing...
