'ello, new owner of a used raptor. :)

[Punctual]

Greetings! Recently bought a used 2010 raptor from a ford dealer here in austin texas. Went ahead and bought the extended warranty and glad I already did, seems like I have the notorous third brake light issue already. Taking it in soon for the fix.

Regardless, I traded in my 2007 Subaru WRX STI and I've come from a wrenching force inducted lifestyle to a naturally aspirated 5.4L v8 - what a change. I'm looking forward to doing minimal work on the truck. I got tired of breaking things looking for more power in my Subi. Had over 400 at the wheels and $10k+ put into performance mods on it.

Granted, I get the same gas mileage as I was previously! But it's nice to not HAVE to use e85 like I did in my subaru!

So, besides the third brake light problem is there anything I should keep an eye out for potential problems?

The raptor had 39k miles on it when I got it.

Welcome! The only problem to look out for is the amount of money you will want to spend on mods!

Aye, it's already started. I'm just hoping it doesn't get as bad as it was on the subaru.

It has a bed mat in it already, but looking at line-x bed and wheel wells. $700ish?

I paid 800 color matched both.
