yeah there's a lot of questions in there lol.
if you want a Gen 2, look to spend 55K avg (2017s i've seen forsale), you can find a decent Gen 1 in the 30 to 40 grand range. remember Raptors hold 80% of their value after 5 years of ownership.. prices barely come down.
if you're looking for a Raptor as a street queen, you really need to think about what it's like to live with every day. do you plan on using this as just a glorified car? because fyi it's not cheap to run and at times a pain. I've owned every truck under the sun since 1990 and I have a second truck because my Raptor can't pull my trailers, haul large amounts of material in the box, etc which is fine for me because I have the means to have a few vehicles but I wouldn't dare use it as an actual work truck.
My Gen 1 6.2 on 37s gets 13.5 mpg, 15 on 35s.
2013 got the frame update, 2010 to 2012 are the same.
The Orange interior was on the Molten Orange exterior, the blue you're thinking about was offered in 2012 and 2013.. my truck has it.. it's ******* shit. fades super easy, it's not worth hunting for.
There are threads on here about guys doing Sync 3 swaps to their gen 1 for dirt cheap.
I bought a 13 because I like center dash layout better than the 2010-2012, sync 2 was new in the 13s, projector headlights and updated frame.. Had a 17 EB Raptor and 13 EB.. I'm way happier with my good old Gen 1. she's awesome.
good luck with your search!
