Help please 2017 vs 2020 Raptor

[CoronaRaptor]

Get the 2020 if you can afford it, nothing like the smell of a brand new vehicle. And besides, good resale on used raptors right now.

Does the 2020 have any recalls yet?

Does the 2020 have any recalls yet?

360 camera issues due to a bad batch of cameras from a 3rd party supplier. My front camera went out after only a few months but was fixed under warranty by the dealer

What is your build date? There was a TSB with a calibration update released for vehicles build on or before August 1st 2017 to resolve harsh and delayed shift concerns.

He's not kidding! I just picked up my 2017 from Bozard in St. Augustine, FL after cam phasers and one of the notes was "reprogrammed PCM" truck feels so much smoother shifting Maybe it's placebo, but I checked the repair notes when I got home, after having felt the difference on the 45 minute ride home.

Is Ford fixing the cam phasers or is that up to the owner if out of warranty? I’m looking to buy a 2017 with 86k on it. Should I go for it? I’ll try to add a warranty if I can afford it.

There’s no recall so if you’re out of warranty you’re likely SOL

Anyone know the cost to fix the cam phasers out of pocket?

The 20 has more shit to go wrong. Just save your money and buy extended warranty and enjoy your awesome truck!

I have a 2020 and while considering selling it, I started thinking “what about Gen 1’s?” I like the truck and like those before me I’ve only had a camera issue. The thing about the gen one I loved is that torque and look. The 2nd gen isn’t the same

Not sure what you are referring to...Gen 2 has 80 lb-ft more torque than Gen 1.

I don’t know how anyone could like the look of a Gen 1 better, but at least that’s subjective; to each his own.
