200,000 invested in the Ford Raptor

That's correct. Work truck, primary use: Virginia highways. She loves our seasonal snow and the Outer Banks sand. She dislikes wet Virginia clay and hates having the ignition turned off.

Mods and most usage have been for work related purposes.

with 100k on mine it still runs good. im glad to hear you have twice the mileage and still running strong

Its not the mileage its the care and condition of the vehicle. You take care of them they will take care of you. Glad to see the 200k mile mark. I have 160k miles to get to it.

I was hoping to have the '17 Raptor I ordered arrive before I hit 200,000 miles in the '11. Looks like It'll be at least 1 more oil change before I see the '17.[/QUOTT

That's awesome. I am creeping up on 140k and that is the most I have ever put on a truck. I wouldn't be if my damn new one would show up. Great records and pretty good news on the truck being so solid. I just had to do a transmission in mine. 4th gear was slamming going up and down. otherwise mine has been pretty good. tires, brakes, shocks, and a steering issue and the HVAC dual door.

I updated my list to include maintenance related mods. I was concerned about the transmission operating temperature. I have no idea if the mods factor into the longevity of the transmission: but early on I installed:
o 2nd (Factory) transmission cooler in line with the original.
o deep and drain-able transmission pan
o firewall mounted dip-stick/filler tube, as the 6R80 filler is a scar burner.

TIMELINE on the 2017 Raptor:
o Oct 2015: $1 deposit placed with my local dealer.
o July 2016: 1st phone call from dealer: Needed my color/cab/options.
o Oct 2016: 2nd phone call from dealer: Your Raptor was built this week.
o Currently: Awaiting the "We need you to pick up your truck" call.
