    Probably should have researched more before buying a 2019 Raptor

    I got some waste gate rattle too. Dealer says it’s not bad so I run it, have fun, and enjoy the truck! Agree with others, the internet will make you worry about everything!

    Thinking About Selling

    Keep in mind what you are saying you would “make money”. USD are worth less and have much less buying power than 1 year ago, plain and simple. If you don’t need the vehicle and you aren’t particularly emotionally attached then any time is a good time to sell financially.

    After almost 10 years, finally a Raptor not Fraptor owner

    Congrats! That’s how long I waited for mine (no wife, had to discipline myself haha) and we have similar trucks. Awesome isn’t it?

    Who's letting investments pay for their truck??

    Zero debt is just another level. Income drops and you have no debt you will have more of a chance at being in the situation you outline.

    Who's letting investments pay for their truck??

    I wonder what the rule is the other way? When your $$ halves. I can’t do the math. Rule of 82? Haha

    Who's letting investments pay for their truck??

    There are varying degrees here and no one is saying you’re doing it wrong. I chose to drive a salvage title expedition until I paid everything off. It worked for me. Point is, you could skimp in other areas and pay cash for even the house and then get more or less what you want as you have...

    Who's letting investments pay for their truck??

    Some of this reminds me of 08’ on steroids. Everyone was a financial genius as we saw nearly every asset class appreciating. When the tide goes out is when you know who was skinny dipping. One day it will all go the other way. Risk some, but not most. Pay cash for things that depreciate during...

    2017 Gen-2 Raptor Oil Question / Issue

    It’s cheaper, you do it once and you can do it in 15 minutes and you can prefill your filter which you know the dealer doesn’t do.

    How about, when it shows up, it shows up?

    I think he means that the gen 3 as a whole will be mass produced and people won’t be intrigued about the 21’ specific model year that was very limited.

    How about, when it shows up, it shows up?

    I agree somewhat but it is behavioral psychology at work. Where I live, housing has appreciated so much that refinances have put money in peoples pockets. And those people want adventure type vehicles, for the most part.

    How about, when it shows up, it shows up?

    You’re right! It seems like everyone has already forgotten about 09’. Remember when the DJIA was below 7,000? It’s wasn’t too long ago. If 09 happened again we would see some serious Raptor depreciation. Good thing mine could go to $0 tomorrow and I’d still be smiling.

    Who did you use for exchange program? Did they explain why that happened?

    Gen 3 Raptor Reviews

    I really like my gen 2 for highway trips, but as the excitement wears off I find myself grabbing the outback especially when I’m going to an urban environment.

    Anybody install this???

    I got a chair leg tip from Home Depot for $3.50 and have been running it for a few months. I think it is just okay but my daughter smiles every time she hears it so I just leave it. It also whistles on acceleration after you do this. Can especially hear it when you are climbing in the canyons.

    Pay $5k over MSRP?

    There are tons of other vehicles better for this family’s situation. If $$ didn’t matter you wouldn’t be worried about $5k.

    All of mine did this so I popped the cover off and sprayed contact points lightly with silicone. Good as new!
