Future Raptor Owner?

[sublime1996525]

I do a lot of searches on cars.com but ebay wouldn't be bad either. Personally I'd look for a CPO Raptor. I bought my C6 Z06 without test driving it or seeing it in person. It was in TN and I am in UT. It was from a private seller and I had the guy send tons of pictures and take a video. If you can find someone in the area where the vehicle is for sale maybe see if they're willing to look at it for you. Good luck with your search and don't settle.

Is 3k over sticker a good price on a new 2014?

$3k over MSRP? Is it used or new? Either way I'd say no it's not a good deal but being that the current models aren't produced anymore I really am not sure but I would never pay over sticker!

Not really a good price but paying over sticker is starting to become the normal deal. A lot depends on where the dealer is. Some places have $5-$10k mark-up so $3k over in those locations would be a good deal. I think right now if you can find something at sticker (no markup) and you are ready, jump on it.

Yeah, my choice of words there, "good price" was a little off. I guess a better wording would be is this a normal price right now.

I am confused about the size of the fuel tanks on the Super Crews. Are they 26 or 36 gallons?

SC's are 36 gallons.

The seats are listed as both leather and cloth. Why is that? Some of the trucks I am looking at have the black and red seats. Not sure if they are different than the black seats other than color?

Regarding the remote start....does the AC or heater start running automatically on the same settings it was last on?

And the hood graphics, kind of undecided on those. What is the main reason behind them? Is it strictly a sporty/off road type look or are they also to cut down on hood glare or something? And what is the general consensus, yes or no to hood graphics?

Seats are some of the best and comfortable. They have bigger bolsters to help keep you in the seat. The mix would probably be for styling.

You can set the remote start for your last setting or have on auto. Auto will automatically depend if its hot or cold out. Hot, it will max the AC and turn on the cool seats. Cold will turn heat and defrost plus warm the seats. I leave mine on Auto.

Graphics to look sporty, helps with glare a little. Factory graphics are expensive, you can do better and get something unique for a lower cost.

Just the info I was looking for. Can you tell my truck is an 01? Lol

The 2012 Raptor I drove had incredibly comfortable seats, it was a big selling point for me.

The seats are great if you have long legs. If you less than 5'10" the bottom part gets long and is difficult to get comfortable on long trips
