So I owned a gen 1 screw. I had it for a few years and sold it ive gone through a few cars/trucks since, and have been wanting to get into a new gen 2 for a bit. Im frugal with my money and refuse to pay mark ups on raptors; which in my area is the gold standard.I admired the raptor from afar but purchased a 2018 ecoboost 3.5 screw with the FX4 package. I hate leather so I ordered it with the sport cloth seats and the 302a package. I leveled it out put wheels and tires on it and love the truck, but I got that itch for a raptor real bad again once this pandemic hit and started looking around. I saw dealers were going under MSRP. I wanted a raptor with cloth seats (im a police K9 handler so ole spot rides with my sometimes) and the cloth is always easier to clean, doesnt show age like leather does etc.. Anyway I saw that I needed to get the 800a package, which surprisingly has * I think* almost exactly what I have in my current truck with the 302a.Long story short I think i'm going to purchase a SCAB with an 800a package. I have no real need for this truck, more of a want. My current truck is nice and does everything I need. I was looking at the SCREWS on dealer lots but they are still about 10k more than what I am looking at and I cant find many with cloth seats. I have one daughter who's 6 so no space issues. I don't take long road trips often and my car sits 4 days a week as I have a take home car for work. The SCAB I test drove seemed to have the same amount of room about as a toyota tacoma 4 door.What do y'all think? Anyone else from a xlt or similar f-150 and go to a raptor? I heard the scabs have rattles, but that could just be a random occurrence like anything else.
