Any trade raptor for new f150

[RCorsa]

Obviously very different trucks but I have a 2019 raptor with 12,000 miles on it. Thinking of trading for a 2021 ford platinum with the new hybrid engine. Better for towing and improved tech(I have a 10,000lb boat I trailer occasionally around town) anyone else do this? Any regrets? Dealer is offering $64,000 for my truck and new one is $77,000. I like the styling of the raptor much better but I’m also doubtful these high used prices will last as 2022 start to arrive

If I was going to trade my Raptor in because I wanted better towing I would be going with a Super Duty.

Yea if you have a 10k pound boat you need a super duty

Super duty so big to drive around town. The new f150 with the hybrid engine and max tow package is rated at 12.400. What am I missing.

It doesn’t sound like a bad idea. If you’re not using your Raptor for what is built for, the new 2021 is probably a better choice, especially based on the updates. If you only tow occasionally, then the Powerboost will do you fine. Plus the cost of maintenance for a 6.7 isn’t justifiable at that point unless you’re hooked to something more often then a few times a year.

Because you don't want to tow near your max... 2/3 of your max is the rule of thumb.

Those are numbers put out by the car makers... Just like HP and Torque. It's ideal settings in a vacuum

Not really. It’s a foot longer but narrower than a Raptor. And you’re not going to get 12.4K from a Platinum trim.

Not sure what you mean. Maybe you haven’t looked at the updated towing configuration tool on Ford’s site.

What I mean is exactly what I said. What you’re looking at is the maximum available towing with that power train. Platimum trims add larger and heavier wheels among a host of other options which reduce towing and payload from the maximum.

Gotcha big boy. I see a lot of your posts are filled with such argumentative tones. You’re obviously a tool with a little d….please unfollow
