37" to 36" tire change won't make much difference. What would is moving to a lighter tire with a street tread pattern. This will reduce your unsprung weight and the street tires would have much lower rolling resistance.
If you don't want to cut the tow hoops off, it looks like the replacement parts are 1/2 the price that they used to be, now around $30 each side. Super easy to swap.
I am thinking of cutting and reusing part of my old hoop intercooler support to fabricate a bracket to replicate the bracket...
When I ordered my 2022 Raptor, with Lux and leather, the sticker price was $77k. At the same time, a Wildtrak with lux and leather was $60k. So $17k premium for the Raptor
I got bumped to 2023 and I paid the sticker price for the Raptor of $82k. The same month they went up to $85k, then a...
I picked up all of the other skids from a Raptor takeoff. Engine, transmission, transfer case and gas tank, so this saga will continue once my $60 in bolts come in and I get a free day in my life.
I will probably have the take skid installed professionally as it is super heavy and looks like...
I traded my Raptor for my Wildtrak. It was the right move at the time, but I will be lying if I do not miss the Raptor some days. Maybe one day I will buy another Raptor, but I still really like my Wildtrak. If my Wildtrak only had the better dash, seats, Baja exhaust...
Enjoy your new...
They will slow somebody down, and that might be enough to have them move on to an easier target. My bike lock is a visual deterrent, but it disappears in seconds with a battery powered angle grinder.
This is the theft analogy to the old saying that you don't have to outrun the bear, just your...
After my spare was stolen, I added the ford perimeter alarm. It let me know whenever a loud motorcycle or truck passes, and 1 out of 20 times, I will get a Fordpass alert that the alarm was triggered.
Sadly this was me a while back:

My current "security" setup. Won't stop somebody that really wants the tire, but it may make them pick somebody else.
Have you priced the replacement rim yet? it will...
In the last 3 years I have purchased vehicles in Texas, Colorado, and California. Some was based on availability and some on price. I found that the purchase process was fairly straightforward regardless of where I bought.
If you decide to buy it out of state, you will need to either have...
Yeah, it was the anxiety that it was going to get hit, or somebody was going be overly curious as the code orange raptor attracted a lot of attention.. I didn't need to stress about a vehicle.
I kept my Raptor less time than that. I had issues with parking it in the street since I only have 1 driveway in my 1950s house in central Austin, and that spot is reserved for my wife's Polestar. I also a dealer reached out with a great offer, so there was plenty of upside in trading for my...
