2015 Platinum now or wait on new raptor?

[ManfromSnowyRiver]

Wow! I am in the wrong business, what do you guys do for a living that trade in every 2-3 yrs and 50k My Titan is 11yrs old with 180K waiting for the 2017 Raptor to replace, and thats about average for me.

I don't want to buy something used is the problem.

You're crazy. Low interest rates on CPO. Bought new 2014 KR...drove for 5 months and traded it in. Bought for $47k OTD, got $42k trade in. Bought 2013 Raptor used with 28k...still worth what I paid for it. Still under warranty and eligible for Flood Ford ESP, since I'll be keeping this for a while.

Complaints on 2015's are through the roof. I'd buy now used, rather than continue to donate to the Ford grand childrens' college fund by buying new and trading in.

Buy a '13 or '14 with SC, low miles and any other mods you want and have real truck

Interesting take on getting a Gen 1 then trade it in when the '17 comes out. I'm in market as well but thought to hold out, save a bit more $, then order a '17. I would've thought that would've been the financially sound thing to do but perhaps getting a Gen1 is smarter... interesting!

Plainum + lift, rims, tires does not equal Raptor

Or something a bit in between the two:

My dealer told me he'd be taking orders shortly...for what it's worth and I was talking to the owner of the dealership.

Secondly, part of the reason I bought a Raptor, it had evreything +++ I wanted and was CHEAPER than a Platinum!! (by at least $5,000)

What do you want that the platinum that the raptor doesn't have?

The Raptor was the 3rd most expensive F-150 you could buy. It was Platinum, King Ranch then Raptor.

The Raptor of course was far more rare than the top two models though...

I had a 2013 loaded fx4 and ordered a 14 raptor. the suspension on the raptor alone is worth it. I don't know how much off road driving or gravel/dirt roads you travel on but I won't own another truck with "standard" suspension. buy a low mileage raptor and you won't lose near as much as you would on a new truck.

Just get a low mile Gen 1 and avoid the hassle of all those Gen 2 lovers standing in line to try and give their Gen 2 back in trade for a Gen 1
