    GEN 1 The Gen 1 Raptor Experience.

    I bought my 2014 last year and have gotten one note left on my windshield asking if I was interested in selling. I work on a military base and one of the civilian gate guards asked me if I wanted to sell. I told him my sell it now price was $120,000 and I would hand him the keys right now...

    High mileage owners please check in

    I'm about to turn over to 30,000 miles. I've put a little over 8,000 miles on mine since I bought it September 2021. I'll be keeping this truck for the long haul. I've been pretty meticulous with maintenance on all my vehicles. I use mine as a daily driver, so I'm hoping I can get all the miles...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Wiring up a blackout switch is something that is on the list too. It never ends. I was able to get the Raptor out for some night vision driving a few weeks ago using my RNVGs. Was a blast but I had to cover the whole dash with a wool blanket. Not a big issue but I do need to move up the blackout...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Got the Stage 3 Motor Sports skid plate for the fuel tanks installed. Currently taking measurements to fabricate additional "armor" for the tank. This mod will have to use the factory bolt mounts and I'll have to drill some additional holes in the skid plate. I'll also use tamper proof bolts to...

    2010 Collectible/Price…

    For what it's worth, I paid $60k for my 2014 SVT Crew Cab. It had 21,800 miles on it when I got it. I KNOW I overpaid for it, but it is exactly what I wanted. I wanted the Gen 1 with 4 doors, a 6.2L, with low miles. I saw it come up for sale and I pulled the trigger. I wasn't thrilled about the...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I just got the gas tank skid plate delivered Monday about an hour before I took off for a three day, two night camping trip. I was hoping to install it before. It rained pretty good for about two hours the first day. The road into my property gets good and muddy everytime it rains. I had a...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    @badm0t0rfinger when you say the skid plate works, can you elaborate a bit? Does it work well to make the tank harder to punch a hole in? I figure it works pretty well as a skid plate.

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    I expect it to be a thing since it happened regularly around the San Antonio area back in 2008 when gas got really high. It didn't happen to me, but I remember hearing reports that thieves were targeting trucks with bigger tanks and more ground clearance. The only other option is to put 5gal...

    What did u do to your raptor today?

    Went ahead and ordered an offroad skid plate from Stage 3 Sports to cover the gas tank. Should make it less easy to punch a hole in the tank to steal gas. Hopefully it makes my tank a harder target and the thieves move on. I also picked up a locking gas plug off Amazon. I'm fully expecting gas...

    Raptor Mechanics or Shops in San Antonio Area?

    @Canuck714 I Have not had time to make it out there. Been crazy busy with work and school. I'll be taking off the summer and plan on getting a few things done then. On the list is the mid-perch, adding an IR light bar, fog lights, and a blackout switch to kill all exterior and interior lights...

    Unsolicited Offer to By my Gen 1

    Yeah, you read that right. I paid $60k for mine and have seen some with more miles than list for the same. Absolutely nuts.

    Unsolicited Offer to By my Gen 1

    Dang, I guess I need to get out more. I just go from home to work and to school. I actually live in Cibolo and have never seen them. Unfortunately, I do not have Facebook anymore. I had an account up until a couple years back and it was just a huge waste of time.

    Unsolicited Offer to By my Gen 1

    I'm in the Cibolo Schertz area. I haven't seen a Raptor on this side of town in forever. I mainly drive from Ft Sam to home and New Braunfels for class. I did see one Raptor in New Braunfels a few weeks ago, but it was a Gen 2. My Gen 1 is bone stock too. Till I finish school It'll remain stock...

    Unsolicited Offer to By my Gen 1

    I have been getting alot of compliments on it. I usually stop at Quick Trip on my way to class in the morning for a sausage biscuit and large coffee. One time I came out and some guy was standing in front of it having his picture taken. I guess Gen 1s are getting rarer now. I haven't seen...

    What truck would you consider selling your Raptor for?

    I've had several vehicles over the years. My 2014 SVT is hands down my favorite vehicle. I'm not really sure there's anything out there that I would be tempted to get. I've heard good things about the RAM TRX and the body style just looks weird. I test drove a Gen 2 Raptor but I knew in less...

    Unsolicited Offer to By my Gen 1

    Yeah, I'd probably feel the same way. I've looked a few times for Raptors in the same condition as mine and they're RARE. I've seen two the last couple of months and actually talked to a guy in Arizona that paid the same as I did $60k for a midnight black 2014 with 30k miles. Hr was getting the...

    Unsolicited Offer to By my Gen 1

    A few weeks ago when I left class I had a piece of paper stuck under the windshield wiper of my Raptor. It's a Gen 1 SVT 2014 with the 6.2L V8. I initially thought some ******* hit it and ran. Some guy left the note with their contact information offering to buy my truck. He wanted to know what...

    One and ONLY gas mileage thread please

    I'm averaging 12.6mpg and I do not baby it when I drive. It'a 6.2L performance truck, it's meant to perform. I usually drive 80-85mph wherever I go as long as it's safe to do so. You can usually see me in the left lane with the hammer down. This is by far the most fun vehicle I've had the...
