Convince me not to by a SCREW

you cant put an oem nav radio into a non nav truck. well not cheaply anyways. trying to do that is not feasable not worth the money spent. adding a 12-14 year old sync 1 system isnt a good idea in general. then the gps antenna, wire harnesses that arent there, you have programming needed that ford has to do, its just not worth the time and effort

Gotcha. I’ll probably just stick it out with the radio I’ve got for now.

only one reason for a screw : Passengers, otherwise a scab is better for everything...

Exactly. Kinda why I want screw.

I realise, but don't we say "buy crew cab" and not "by screw cab"
My english is limited , so may I am wrong !

I know you can be screwed but it's different
sorry, spelling mod off (I need to learn)

I only call it SCREW when I’m here, because fords designation for the full 4door trucks is “SuperCrew”. Otherwise I call them Crew Cab.

If you HAD TO drive & park in a Big city daily, including street parking, the SCAB would be the only choice. Same if you lived in an apartment or condo arrangement. A Raptor SCREW, which has another 2 ft of truck behind you, (while less than 1 inch narrower than a Humvee), is kinda like wheeling a dually in town.

Haha I don’t garage my raptor. I wouldn’t take a loan on a screw, I hate owing money. I paid cash for my 2010 and would do the same for a screw.

Then I guess you answered your own question!

Sorta. I could hopefully sell mine for 24/25ish maybe?? And then go for a screw with higher miles than mine. (I have 152k) mine has about $10k in addons. A decent 2011/12 is around that price.

just change the radio in it.

and how does one put 246k miles in a year?

"It HAD" 246K....not in one year,but 10

i had a 14 and 17 scab.said i wasnt going to buy a screw.i did got a 23 love the truck but not the looks.scabs rule

I test drove both, and looked at dozens. I too had the garage issue as the only stall that fits the screw raptor is occupied by our garage gym, which my wife will not give up. I thought the scab drove better, and looks better.
That being said, I was worried id outgrow the scab and be in your position 6 months later, so I bought a screw. No regrets. It’s big, it’s not as nimble and it clogs my driveway but its utility is that of a truck and an SUV. It’s a true do it all vehicle.
With all the add ons available for trucks to increase storage capacity, the only real reason to get the screw is legroom. If you NEED legroom in the back for greater than 50% of your missions, I say move to the screw. If not, have someone else drive during those rare times.
