Back for Round 2

[caleb]

After my experience with my first 2018 Raptor, I wasn't sure if I would ever own another. Anyways, here I am trying the Raptor again. Debated between buying new again or finding something slightly used maybe with some aftermarket goodies. Decided I like instant gratification so went the slightly used route and picked up a 2020. So here she is:

2020 802A Raptor

• Method 605 Wheels
• Toyo 37x12.5r20 Tires

• RPC UCA
• RPG Steering Tie Rods
• Fox Factory Race Coilovers
• Icon Multirate Leaf Packs
• Icon Bump Stops

• SVC Mojave Rear Bumper
• SVC Mojave Front Bumper
• ADD Universal spare tire mounts
• SVC Offroad Intercooler
• Rigid Adapt 30” Lightbar
• Satin Black Vinyl Wrap

Somebody spent a lot of money on your truck. Looks good!

Lol, yeah. Most of what was done with this truck was already on my list to do to any truck, I just saved a bit of cash (and time) already having it done.

Welcome back!

 

[EccentricRaptor]

Welcome! Hopefully you have better luck! It's a sharp looking truck - hope you enjoy it!!

I'm curious though - what went poorly with your previous one?

Outstanding, welcome back! Serious beast you have there.

I think it was a Friday build. I had non-stop issues with it. Interior door panels would pop off when I’d close the door, tail gate opener stopped working even after being replaced multiple times, among many other non-stop small annoying things. Though the real issue was with the transmission. The shifting was absolute garbage. It would hesitate to shift, skip gears, not shift, etc. Had it in to the dealer many times, even tried different dealers. Each time they’d acknowledge the problem but we’re unable to fix it. Had it in 7 or 8 times with no resolution. Looking back, I probably should have lemon lawed it, I ended up just trading it in after 18 months.
