So I just got a 2019 Raptor two months ago. I had it for 500 miles and it burned to the ground. The only thing left was the frame. Now for the difficult decision... I was lucky enough to find a 2022 801A that someone backed out on and it is done with the build and now waiting on shipping. But for the same amount of money I have found a 2019 Shelby Raptor with 20,000 miles. Normally it would be a no brainer to go with the 2022, but it doesnt have the tailgate step, and I fell in love with that. Any thoughts or opinions? Lucky for me my insurance had a feature that pays me an additional 20% of actual cash value to the payout, so that justifies either truck.

I’d go for the Gen 3 with a factory warranty. The piece of mind knowing that ford has to fix any issues that may pop up is worth it.

Welcome and yikes - that's a unsettling thing to see. Such a beautiful thing to go up in flames too :confused: I want to know the cause too.

Yeah, I'd have to say, the new Raptor is the best bet for your money unless you're absolutely in love with the Shelby. Either way, it's your money, so get whichever speaks to you!

I'm sure you know deep down which one you know you want, but nonetheless, decisions can be hard and it's always good to ask around to get horror stories and such. Sounded low key like a counselor/therapist there - "you know deep down which one you want".
