2022 vs 2024 Purchasing question

[mtdirtbiker]

Smoothing out the tables and a TCM flash is worth it to me. Can always fash back to stock before going to the dealership. Most of the being covered depends on your service department. I had a bunch of non stock parts on my engine, but they still did my cam pashers under warranty. As well as a few other items. No way they didn't see the CAI or FMIC.

If you get a used truck, frees up the budget for suspension mods. (Bumps, bed supports, etc)

I gotcha, absolutely, thanks for the info! My 2017 shifts like garbage so that is good to know. That is a great point about having the extra $10k plus to put into mods. I think im leaning 2022.

Goosetuned is the guy to go to for Raptor tuning.

optimally no sunroof but that also gets rid of the power tailgate so ya win some ya lose some. I neveruse mine on my current raptor. As far as tuning the stock power is great for me, especially with the 100k warranty.

Just purchased a 24 (37) no moonroof and mine has the power tailgate. I thought the no moonroof excluded the tailgate step as well. Must have changed it on the 24's?

If you need a truck now get a deal on a 24. I was looking at a 24 used with 2,700 miles and was able to purchase my 24 close to invoice, which was lower than the used. Crazy times!

I enjoyed my '24 more than my '23 for sure. The front end grew on me quickly so I like gen 3.5 more than gen 3 appearance wise, and I had shelter green which looks fantastic to my eye. Fit and finish on my '24 was better as well.

if you’re planning on keeping stick shocks, perhaps the ‘24 would be better for the new design.

I do find my recaros hug my body well which may be nice for off-roading though.

Pending your area I bet you could get the ‘22 dealership to come down. I paid $64k flat about three months ago now for my ‘22 with the same options you’re looking at and 21k miles. It wasn’t a CPO however.

Yeah, Ford had a change of heart, no doubt after being slammed by people for marrying a simple tailgate step that cost $150 over a non tailgate step to a $1600 moon roof- 2 completely unrelated options. I checked out a ’24 801a and that was the first thing I checked. It was a nice, but too similar to the Jen Too and not nice enough to sway me from the Dark Horse. But, at least you got the tailgate step and didn’t need to have a moon roof. and it was powered up and down, as opposed to only a power release on the Jen Too.

2022 is a great year for the following reasons:

- Heated steering wheel
- No auto start/stop
- Torsen front differential

Looks are subjective, but the 2024 refresh still hasn't grown on me though I'm a biased '22 owner

Edit: I'll note that the Torsen front differential is a big deal to me personally. I had a Range Rover Sport previously that used the electronic braking that 2023+ Raptors now use and I went through pads/rotors like crazy because of it. I'd rather have a proper mechanical differential.
