2025 Incoming & torn on purchase...

[MultiStateRaptor Guy]

I'm a fan of the 2023's for many reasons:

#1: The center dash, no blank spots there. The newer ones look cheap, and it appears that Ford forgot to install those missing switches.
#2: No issues in the motor/ transmission and/ or electrical departments of these Raptors. I've read many problems with various '24/ '25's having paint quantity and quality complaints, as well as various electrical problems and fitment issues (moonroof/ sunroof) etc. We've had "zero" problems with our 2023 V6 with their 37 P.P. plus a number of mod upgrades: engine & electrical.

Came back to hopefully read someone telling me the R sucks and the 2024 37 package ecoboost is the better truck . If not for the sales tax, I’d be able to get most/all my money back via sale.

lol, that will never happen. Life is better with a V8, especially with a supercharger. You’ll learn to hate the sound of the V6 unfortunately, I know I did.

There will likely never be a better smile all the way to the bank, smiles for miles, deal than a standard c8. Incredible what you can get such a fine sports car for.

I'm still too young to drive a standard c8... most likely buying my Raptor R allocation or a Cadillac CT-5V Blackwing. Raptor R might be the cheaper route as it would probably make sense to sell the 2024 802a I bought a couple weeks ago once the R comes in. After driving the Gen 3 for all of 3 days, the Gen 2 is definitely going to market.
