    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    Thanks, I'm loving it so far! I already had to replace the transfer case motor switch, but I at least was able to do it myself.

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    I kept going back and forth with the 5.4L and 6.2L, but all the 6.2's are in terrible shape around here. The good ones are a bit out of my price range. I noticed the smaller tires, so I'll have to do something about that at some point. My drive to work and the gym is less than 4 miles, so I...

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    Good to hear! I am in Minnesota, and all the 6.2's are rusted through with high mileage, AND they are still pricey! I think I can live with a 5.4. :)

    Yes, I love the exterior modifications. I don't know how I feel about the .50 cal bullet antenna, but whatever. :) I don't care what anyone says, the blue color is awesome on this truck.

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    Thank you for the love! I'm going to drive down to Indiana from Minnesota to pick it up! It's going to be a nice 14 hour roundtrip drive. The dealership was nice enough to send me a couple videos...

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    It does look sweet! I might just pull the trigger on it! It does have some modifications done; once the dealership is done inspecting and servicing it, they are going to let me know what's been done on it. It is several hours away, so I won't be able to test drive it. They are willing to...

    Thank you for the input. I really love the look of the 5.4L, I just don't know what I am doing. :)

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    Thank you for the input. I personally prefer looks over performance. I obviously want the truck to perform, but if it is slightly more sluggish, I don't think I'll lose sleep over it. I really like the look of the blue 5.4L in my post. I am waiting for the dealership to inspect it, and they...

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    News shocks all-around, tires, rocker panels, and cab corners are rusted through, and a few other normal wear-and-tear items which equal to around $2,000. The rocker panels will cost $5k (called for estimates around here). I was quoted $4,300 for shocks (could possibly swap for rebuilt ones to...

    Looking to buy a Gen 1 Raptor

    Hi Everyone, I am looking to purchase my first truck ever. I am more of a car guy, but I need something more practical for the Minnesota weather. It also helps to have a bed to haul stuff from Lowe's. I didn't want just any truck, so I have been looking at the Raptor. I can't have a...
