It pains me to even post this, but I'm forced to. I've discussed on here before that I am a Senior Manager of a large car dealership, and I'm relocating to Grand Open a new location. I just found out today that my truck is too wide to be transported with our fleet trucks, so if I'm going to take it, I have to drive it 12 hours with the wife, kids, and dog. I was already contemplating selling it because I just drive too much, as well as I would like to recover my dealer demo from my wife. So this just forced my hand to list it.
I'm going to copy my Craigslist ad here to save some time. Forgive me that the description is so "dumbed down". I don't expect the typical Craigslist browser to know anything about this truck.
I'm located in Katy, Texas and am asking $39,872.

Unfortunately the time has come for me to part with the best truck I've ever owned. The family and I are relocating for work and I can't take the truck with me because it can't fit on a transport truck (lol, true story).
The Raptor starts out as by far the toughest truck on the road and this is one of the baddest I've ever seen. It gets looks and comments everywhere I go, including from other Raptor owners. One of the main reasons (besides the obvious murdered out looks) is because every modification on it was made using the top of the line products available for the Raptor. Do a little research and you'll agree. Here are some of the modifications, but there are too many to list them all:
ADD (Addictive Desert Designs) Front Bumper- $2530 retail
ADD (Addictive Desert Designs) Rear Bumper- $1540 retail
Rigid Industries E Series 50 inch LED light bar w/ roof mount- $1899 retail
Rigid Industries E Series 20 inch amber LED light bar- $699 retail
Rigid Industries E Series 6 inch LED spot lights- $299 x 2 retail
Smittybilt XRC8 8,000lb winch- $450 retail
Fuel Octane deep lip matte black 20 inch wheels- $1400 retail
General Grabber red letter 35 inch x 12.50 tires- $1770 retail (approx. 40% life left)
K&N cold air intake- $350 retail
Corsa Extreme exhaust w/ high flow racing cats- $1400 retail
American Racing headers 1 7/8"- $1655 retail
Total= $14,291 retail
In addition, it is sitting mid-perch and the stock flares have been professionally painted to color match the tuxedo black truck, as well as all exterior trim has been blacked out. All lighting, both interior and exterior (including taillights and third brake light) have been replaced with LED lights. The taillights and third brake light are smoked black. The majority of the interior trim has also been professionally painted tuxedo black with some of the factory aluminum trim left to tastefully contrast. It has a Truxedo convertible tonneau cover, spray in bedliner, factory bed extender, and tailgate step w/ handle. The factory options include the premium SYNC Sony sound system w/ subwoofer, memory and power heated driver and passenger seats, power pedals, power sliding rear window and luxury package.
I know I cannot expect to get the retail money invested back out of all the modifications, but I'm definitely not selling it for the same price as a stock Raptor. I simply listed those prices to illustrate the quality of this truck to some who may not know what it costs to modify a Raptor with these respected brands.
Now to the known issues (all cosmetic): the driver's side has been keyed (by a jealous tree hugger, I'm sure). It has been touched up and is not very noticeable on a black truck. It has a quarter-sized ding on the driver's rear door and 2 inch chop on the passenger bedside. There is a dime-sized chip
in the windshield, but it has been professionally repaired so it won't spread or crack. That's about it as far as any issues.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some things here, but if you're interested and have any questions, please feel free to contact me. It's easiest for me to communicate via text or email, but if you need to talk just give me a call. I am somewhat negotiable on the price, but I also know what I have and won't give it away. I'll tell you upfront I am a Senior Manager for a Fortune 500 car dealership, so I can't be swindled, but rest assured this is my personal daily driver and is titled in my name with a lien from my credit union.
Thanks,
Eric
