Least bad financial move.

[Kurt L]

I know none of these are good financial moves but which one is least bad. 2024 Raptor which I have built and waiting delivery at 82k sticker, or a 2023 402A Tremor at 10k off. Seems like my 1st year depreciation would be wiped out with the discount on the tremor. At that point I have a 82k 24 Raptor vs a 63k ish 2023 tremor. I don’t “need” either one but I want to get back in a truck. Currently in a old used 120k 2016 escalade after I got out of the F450 market last summer. I keep the mid cycle refresh in mind here as that’s why I’m not looking into a 5k discounted 23 raptor

F250/F350 Diesel Tremor > F150 Raptor > red 78 Datsun B210 with a brown door > F150 Tremor.

If you're going to use the Raptor for what it's intended for you NEED the Raptor. If you just need a truck go with the Tremor. If you have the money to splurge...go with the Raptor. Atleast that way, you won't hate your decision later.

I have the money for the Raptor…but 20 grand is a lot when I don’t really need either. BTW I also considered another super duty for resale alone. Didn’t think a heavily discounted Tremor would be much less attractive financially than a MSRP 24 Raptor

23 Raptor with the biggest discount you can find would be your best move.

Hell a Tremor with the 5.0 and all the bells and whistles might not be a bad option if you just want a truck and get to save a good bit.

Def looked into a 5.0 and slapping a 3.0 Whipple on it

I don’t typically keep trucks more than 2-3 years so I guess I was asking if I’d be down more on a heavily discounted tremor 9500-12,000 or a msrp 24 Raptor and I’ll add in a 5k discounted 23 Raptor now

If you are financing get the Tremor. If you are paying cash get the Raptor. $20k savings is no joke at 7%+ APR.

Also the "mid-cycle refresh" logic will also apply to your Tremor.

Nobody starts out looking for a Tremor. They start looking for a Raptor and end up getting Tremor.
Then 6 months later they trade it for a Raptor and get double ass packed.
