Raptors do get noticed and there is a stigma with them, no doubt. However, I think Ford has cheapen the name a lot with the introduction of the Bronco, Ranger and now Maverick Raptor. A Platinum F150 has more features in them than a Raptor.

I put ZERO stock into car and driver and Motor Trend. Although I would be believe C&D more. I am not going to get into a huge debate about them on this forum as I go by own gut feeling and what I like. The Tundra's tech is on another level. I do not jump dunes and go baja racing so I don't need...

The math might could work out trading every few years, I just don't care for the process that much to try and trade every few years. I usually hold on to my rides at least 3 years more like 5 or more.

F150s altogether are over priced at msrp. I be willing to bet you that ford will drop the msrp on the f150 like they did the explorer. I don't know what your slanging for Jen. Have you priced a 2007 or 2008 sti with low miles and all original? Some on bat are going for 60 to 70k and the s209...

I got one if you want it Cactus Grey no roof or bedliner or decals but MSRP. PM me if interested? I am getting a TRD Tundra, the tech in them are on another planet.

Dude what is MSRP but artificial pricing? Now auto makers are wising up and discounting MSRP for the dealers to deal with.

Yeah, this makes sense. All I have seen on AT is just a bunch of dealers saying they will pay 50k only to go to 47-49k when you show up. Dealers are the worse, they expect to make 10-20k or more on the truck they sell then at least 10k on the truck you trade in. This whole current dealer...

Yeah not happening after having sold 2 Raptors one Gen 1 where I lost 16k on over 5 years and another 1 where I lost 6k over 3 years. I can tell you 80-90k trucks which depreciate to 50k in 5 years and to 20k at 10 years is LOL. What do you expect though? The US market has always and always will...

Not many happy campers getting crap money for their vehicle then having to pay MSRP for the new one. You have to take care of your own bottom line.

Uh yeah, I just got 51k for mine and I am taking it and running. Retail values right now are 48k to 55k and that is for fully loaded. At 10 percent interest these things are not moving. The gap between the halves and not halves is larger than ever. You do you but the Gen 2s are falling like a ROCK.

Yeah someone will all be able to make a profit but with Vroom, CarMax, et al. out there it keeps crappy dealers in check.

The trade value on Gen 2s has dropped like a ROCK, no dealer anywhere in my area will touch one for over 50k looks like that is the breaking point. Bringing 45-48k trade in my area

This technique builds the oil pressure before starting it does help on cold starts.

Cam phasers are distinct from the wastegate rattle everyone experiences. More than likely if it sounds like metal peas in a can then it is the waste gate rattling if it sounds like a hockey puck in a the same can then it is the phasers. Two different things.

My gen 1 did this but did not have the tire wear issue. My gen 2 has never done this but had tire noise to the original kos having bubbles on the back tires. I did notice that the tire dealer I went too is about the best in the business. Ford eveidentally from the factory counter weights each...

I think a better question is who paid the highest amount for their Gen 3? Only people paying 90-120k should be considered

Gas isn't the point, the Hummer EV is sick. Anyone who doesn't say otherwise hasn't been in one or seen what ti can do. Everything being equal 90k for a Raptor or 90k for a Hummer EV. I am buying the EV without having to gas for the Raptor which would make it more expensive to operate. I love...

I just remember when Biden got elected and everyone knew gas prices were going up a lot of the Gen 2 trucks on here went up for sale or were traded in. If they ever start selling Gen 3s for the discounts Gen 1s and 2s use to get on here then I think it will be a good thing. It is hard to justify...

I haven't bumped this thread at all, but you all call me a troll. 20-30 percent of the forum dumped their Raptors once Biden took office. Another 50 percent will dump them when the Raptor goes electric. Which will probably be in the next 5 years. Do you even know what Ford's own CEO said, he...

Like you said, it can out perform any Raptor including the R and it makes 1000 ft lbs of torque but like you said how you look at it.

iirc, this was a merged thread from another one. I put 160 thousand trouble free miles on my Gen 1 Raptor with just changing the plugs. I have 50k now on my Gen 2 and it feels like it could do another 100k without any issues.

I believe @Badgertits was the reason,

which is why I said it is all in how you look at it, add an extra 30k -50k on top of it and you could run a whole solar battery backup system on it that would not ever touch the grid. Then resell the overage back to the utility on the same meter. Look I could care less if you or anyone else on...

That is alright I won't miss the 120-140 dollar fill ups of course I only run premium 93 octane. How bout you guys? that is generally a week so extrapolated, that would be aroun $6,800 annually on gas. So compared to $2000 dollars for electricity. So, that is an annualized savings of $4-5k...
