This thread has been informative. Def considering the Ranger Raptor since I've been looking at upgrading to a Gen 2 for a while now. My primary concern relates to giving up the interior space, but like most folks, it's only me in the truck 90% of the time. Then again, also considering the...

I'd go with the '22 and save the money. But that's just me being a peasant... Or you could go with the '22 and blow the extra $25k on unnecessary mods :Big Laugh:

Generally a safe bet to assume there's at least SOME rust. FWIW, my '12 Raptor looked PRISTINE from the dealer pics when I bought it with 55k mileage in 2020. Looked practically the same as OP's pics of the underbelly. No rust whatsoever for a truck from MA. Came to find out that the fresh...

Do you know if either one has been modded? Do you know if either was garage kept? Do you have the option to personally view either (or both) option A and B? I think the ability to get eyes on even one of the trucks will help you make a more informed decision. 30k miles isn't insignificant...

Just catching up with this thread... I'm so sorry for your loss! The thought of some shady businesses taking advantage of your grief to make a buck really makes my blood boil.

Budgeting $55k for the truck itself and I’d like to keep mods $10k or under. However, that also includes includes any cosmetic upgrades, such as window tinting and possibly a bed cover/spray in liner if the truck I buy doesn’t already have those. I’m leaning away from this option because I...

Hey guys, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Anyways, I just got a new job, I’ve looked at the finances, and I’ve talked to the wife… looks like we are good to start shopping around for a Gen 2 raptor! Before making any purchasing decisions I wanted to see what FRF thinks about upgrading...

Very pleased with my 5-star tune that I run on my 2012 SCREW. A couple of notes: I run the 85 octane performance tune for daily use. The fuel efficient and daily/street tunes didn’t do anything for me. What I really appreciate about the performance tune is the improved throttle response and...

Welcome and congrats on a sharp looking black raptor! Black raptors are the best… ESPECIALLY with tire shine lol I’m in Carlsbad so let me know if you want to do some off roading!

Wanna bet? Hold my venti latte… :hahano:

I reckon $110k-115k is probably a fair asking price. I doubt you could demand that kind of money outside of SoCal/AZ/NV. Fortunately, this area is the perfect intersection of opportunities to run a built raptor as it was intended and a high population density of folks with tons of disposable...

Honestly, I think the matte black graphics on agate black is awesome. I saw a Roush Raptor with that combo at a taco stand that I frequent and I was blown away. It’s very subtle but still catches the key. And like @blsstrongarm said, once you see it, you can’t look away. Just my personal...

It’s beautiful! I gotta say, the looks of the Gen 3 are definitely growing on me. And I really like the look of your truck with the “37” decals over the white paint! Would you be able to snap a pic or two of the interior? I’d like to see the black and blue recaros I keep hearing about.

Honestly, I think “dark mode” would be a totally awesome (albeit not-often used) feature. It would allow you to keep from burning your night vision entering/exiting the vehicle in the wilderness. Also, provides a great level of stealth for when I don’t want my wife to know I’m making a...

I own both a 2003 rubicon 2-door and a 2012 SCREW raptor so you’ll be buying completely different vehicles but here’s my comparison fwiw. The Jeep absolutely shines in tight spaces, be it constricted trails or tight city parking spots. It’s a blast to take to the beach, concerts, or camping and...

Interested to hear the forum’s experiences as well. Anecdotally, I’ve been lead to believe that SVC’s parts and service are among the very best in the business. I would say that it’s up to personal preference if you think it’s worth the price difference, however.

Ahlan wa sahlan!

Not lost… temporarily disoriented

It’s really sad when you think about it. I love getting inspiration from other peoples’ trucks and mods. It’s also super cool to see what folks do with a budget less constrained than my own. Even if my tastes don’t align perfectly with another member’s, there’s always something to learn from...

I don’t understand the hate… truck looks great OP! Off topic, but I also like the pavers in your driveway lol

Recommend looking into larger fenders. They’ll clear bigger tires and fiberglass/carbon fiber fenders weigh less. Win-win! https://www.fiberwerx.com/products/2021-2022-ford-raptor-fenders?variant=40802968993839

Mystery solved, gang! Took the battery to O’Reilly and sure enough, it was a dead cell. $180 later and I was back in action. Thanks for all the help! Y’all are the reason this forum rocks!

Planning to take the battery to get tested this evening. Hopefully it’s a quick battery swap. I’m concerned that I might be dealing with something similar. I’ve encountered several unpleasant surprises with this truck over the past 16 months due to the previous owner. How much did it cost to...

Codes cleared. Still nothing. Ran the jeep so long that the neighbors complained while I was trying to charge the battery. It hasn’t had any of the typical issues I’m used to seeing with a dying cell but I’ll replace it tomorrow/this weekend and see what happens. Thanks for the suggestions...

Put a good -charge- on the battery? It should be good. The battery is good and always cranks. I charged it for a good 15-20 min with two other good vehicles. I observed small sparks when I reconnected the battery after disconnecting it in an attempt to reset the electronics. So the voltage...
