    GEN 2 Debating on trading high mile raptor or keeping ?

    True, you can always make more money off your vehicle through a private sale. That takes time, advertising, and being patient enough to find the right buyer and sometimes even then you will not be able too. Depends on the vehicle and everything sells for the right price.

    Gee our trucks these very raptors have front differentials and drive shafts that are not the same size. So does the Focus RS with its Rear drive unit stolen from the Evoque. Colorado is a hot bed for subaru with lots of models there bringing premiums. Don't know what your issues with the brand...

    The problem with your little experiment is no dealetship is going to give you very good for your trade. You should have used the good values.

    The sti is up too 59 percent rear wheel biased which could have explained why you plowed through. Symmetrical awd just means that the front, rear and center drive/ half shafts are all the same length. The front differential is all one piece with the transfer case. In theory this provides better...

    What was that better car with and system if you do not mind me asking? Torsen rear end with a Getrag 6 speed and equal length drive shafts for near perfect front to rear tow and yaw control with a fully locking differential with control through a DCCD is about as perfect an AWD setup that you...

    jd power and just any automobile magazine and enthusiast this side of anywhere would not agree with any statement you just made, Do you or have you owned anything other than a ford? Have multiple vehicles? I don't know what year your raptor is, what your plans for it are or how long you intened...

    I have changed the spark plugs on an sti several times. Use the right tools and it is not that bad. I am very familiar with the motor and have experienced zero issues that you represent as prone to the car. I basically ordered the car custom as similar to the hero fast and furious sti. A porsche...

    it wasn't other than Honda, Toyota, and Subaru hold more residual value than Ford. All I think I was saying until you got defensive about losing so much in depreciaton since surely the Raptor could not depreciate that much. There is a reason beyond my control for why I got another truck so soon...

    You just proved that you have zero idea of what you are talking about and just being argumentative. I didn't get taken advantage of by any dealership, im happy with the deal I got on my 18 especially with the 5 grand worth of accessories it came with. Take your slappy happy self to Autotrader...

    You do realize that the STI stands for subaru technica international right? They are a rally car legend especially with the legendary 22B. I get it in America that they are unknown but rally cross is picking up a fan base here. I love the feel of the car and AWD in a Hot rod package. You may not...

    GEN 2 Debating on trading high mile raptor or keeping ?

    Since you quoted me twice I will not bother quoting you once. I have owned several F150s (3 in the past 7 years). You want me to break it down for you? Ford uses cheap plastic bits (mostly sourced from a low cost producer) prone to failure in their HVAC systems, and their sun roof setups. I like...

    GEN 2 Debating on trading high mile raptor or keeping ?

    Who said anything about German cars? I am talking all things from Japan. The EVOs, STIs, GTRs, and Type Rs all hold their value extremely well. Just this past year I saw an early Integra Type R go for 80+ thousand dollars. Granted you or me would not pay that for an old arse Acura but someone...

    How many 2020 Raptors will be Built

    I would not say that per se, they could be like the 80s-90s Broncos and bring premium money even though they really are not worth that much.

    From 99k to 101k your truck will depreciate 10 grand or more. Ask me how I know? I had a Gen 1 and that was the trade out difference from 93 thousand miles to 105 thousand miles. Ford are domestic vehicles, like it or not or even if it is not what you want to hear? Ford F150s depreciate probably...

    I have owned two of these and as you call it have never lost compression or blew my engine up. Of course I don't make sense less modifications. Oh and subaru replaced the clutch on my stock car with less than 10 thousand miles on it. Subaru customer service is light years beyond anything Ford...

    after 18 months and 30k miles...my truck finally popped its off-road cherry

    If you are going to go might as well go all out. My Gen 1 saw that weekly, my Gen 2 hasn't seen ut at all due to the pandemic probably will soon.

    Nope and my car is included in the lifetime class action suit so if it does then subaru of America will fix it. I understand the target market for the car as it is the second one I have owned. It gets more looks than a GT350 or hellcat so I feel good about it plus it has picked up some cool...

    Low Mileage Maintenance Schedule

    Synthetic oils do break down with time, I run 5w30 in the sti which is the same oil in the Raptor 3.5 liter. It will get old and you will be able to tell which is why I usually change it based upon season temp changes once in spring and once in fall

    Raptor paint issue?

    I use Chemical guys stuff but yes the V07 sealant is good stuff and Mequiers makes a good wax. Butter wax is good too.

    TRX throwing shade at the Raptor

    I had a Gen 1 with the 6.2 liter motor and it is a solid v8 motor with lots of low end, which is important to a Truck. I never go over 14 mpgs and that was straight highway. I looked at a power wagon and almost bought it but it was too funky to me and it can return 15-17 mpg with the cylinder...
