Dealer says my 2018 Raptor is only worth $25k on trade

The So you are planning on using virtual reality to feel like you are in a real car? Seems promising. Would be a ton of excitement for your passangers.

I disagree. I've bought many high mileage vehicles ever since I've moved to a rural area. The last new car I bought had 107K miles ....

From the standpoint of someone who can maintain a vehicle, that's all true, but from a trade in value standpoint- it's still a shitload of miles.

Basically, people in general don't fix, let alone maintain anything anymore- and therefore the general public is scared of 100K+ miles vehicles.

Hey, I thought you would appreciate this... I had a 2004 R32 that I turned into a track monster. It was ugly, but fun to pass corvettes and mustangs in corners. Was going to put twin turbo kit on it, but wound up selling it.

I wonder if the “rebuild” aspect of our shocks is known outside the community. Id recon 80% of raptor owners don’t even know you’re supposed to do that. A buddy of mine has a 2017 with 100K and has never had the shocks rebuilt, didn’t even really know that was a thing.

My 2020 has 60k miles, been on 3 x 1500 mile road trips w/ twin jet ski trailer, 2 kids, 2 Dobermans, 1 wife, & 500 lbs of gear, drive to and from work & do the occasional off-road F around, my shocks honestly feel good still, better than the 2018 non-live valve truck I had until 45k miles when it got totaled by a distracted driver
