2018 or 2019 Raptor

Here she is. I just really loved the leadfoot. Getting 7k off plus about 1k over KBB trade in for the Explorer we traded seemed to be a good deal. The only things I want to do to her are add the MX4 bed cover and get the OEM beadlocks wheels. I found a take off set of wheels for $900 local. Where have you guys been taking your trucks to have the wheels installed and what is a ball park cost?

Looks great. You will be happy with your decision.

Good choice, my buddy owns a local shop, he did it for free for me.

You will want to coat it in Xpel to keep that Lead Foot looking good after a few trips to the woods. Worth every penny I spent on coating my truck

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

SL75= new Sasquatch! As far as the 2020 getting the 5.2 supercharged motor, money says if it happens it’s a special model. That motor will add 20k with all the required changes to harness its power and probably be de-tuned to under 600HP. Don’t forget, the GT500 is not running a 10spd auto. The only high HP 10spd is the ZL1 Camaro.

Yeah I am not overly concerned with the V8. I'm sure it would be awesome, but at the end of the day it's going to be at least a 80k truck if not a little more. I was able to get this one at just under $64k and I am more than happy with it. Driving it today I do understand where people are coming from with the engine sound. My 2015 King Ranch 3.5EB did not have very much sound at all from the exhaust, where the Raptor is defiantly a louder truck. The V6 does not sound great, but it sure moves the truck extremely well. I test drove a GMC AT4 with the 6.2 and cat back exhaust and sure it sounded great, but it was down right sluggish compared to this Raptor. To me I would rather have the performance then just have the sound of the V8. I also don't want to spend 20k more on a truck than I did on this one, although many people will and that's okay.

My only concern on 2020's would be if they made a face lift change. I just hate buying a car or truck and a mid cycle revision comes out right after I buy it. It just bugs me, but at the end of the day it's no big deal.

I think it is more about just not having that engine anymore. It has been terrible for many of us. I don't like Ford's constant answers of 'its normal' or 'wait for it to blow up'. I welcome any new engine available so that I can trade mine for it.

LOL, it has not been terrible. The TT 3.5 in both standard and HO models has been a good engine with no more or less issues than any other engine. I fear I am feeding a troll though
