Help me choose

I just went through a search and purchase... ended up with a 2019 at a great discount, but was tempted by a few 18s since they had lead foots out there.

Here is a new one, and this dealer is pretty good with negotiating down.

Also...if anyone has the ability to run VINs and check invoice price could you shoot me a PM? Thanks

Also, get a build date so that you know if this truck has the plastic or metal oil pan.
Also, as others mentioned, get warranty coverage for as long as you think you will have the truck.

I went with the avalanche grey and in totally happy. It's a one year only color and in your case has lower miles.

Get a build date, or take a quick look underneath to verify you got the metal oil pan and not the plastic.

The ecoboost is really the best engine choice for the Raptor.

I would suggest that you go over the truck with a fine tooth comb. if it’s inclement weather, use their garage for your pre-paperwork inspection. Take your sweet, Mrs. Butterworth’s time going over the truck. We’ve had a bunch of people not catch stuff because they were in a hurry. Don’t drive the truck off the lot if you know or suspect something isn’t perfect.

I got pics of every angle of the truck, even underneath, then inside. Then we took a robust test drive, for which my wife repeatedly scolded me for ‘driving like a juvenile’. Try you transfer case, drive modes, and bonus points for starbucks drive thru. when you get back, make sure you’re not puking fluid anywhere - there’s posts on here of people who drove off and popped a radiator hose on the way home. a good test drive will expose some of these potential issues.

6/1 build date should have the metal oil pan.

I’m looking at new and used Raptors as well. What date did they change over to metal oil pans?
