My most reliable raptor so far besides replacing the fuel pumps at 146 miles? The 23 raptor r.. i got a good one.. but the others Raptors i had- They follow my mclaren- always something going on with them. I'll add to the dodge subject though. I have a 2001 MINT dodge 2500 cummins. That girl has never let me down since new. 220k miles. I'll always have it. That being said i have been meticulous with it and stayed well ahead of maintenance schedules throughout the years.

Attention? Says the guy with 6500+ posts. I have a few cars pal. And not one of them clunks and jerks when it downshifts. You sound like a typical dealer. "Those things you hear and feel are completely normal sir even though the truck was fine the first 2 years...."
6500 posts consisting mainly of proving information to others on the forum.

You have 155 posts of crying like a baby over everything; you contribute nothing aside from baseless rants and negativity.

Well this escalated quickly. :gathering:

Have had my issues with Ford and won't be buying any more new ones anytime soon after the issues we had with the wife's 2020 Edge ST and how Ford handled it/didn't handle the situation. Had great luck with most all of my other Ford vehicles and especially the Ford trucks I've owned. Our 2021 Raptor is over 60K miles and has had some of the common issues like exhaust rattle, shock clunk, but mostly a positive experience and such a fun truck. Replaced my wife's Edge with the last gen Toyota 4Runner just to get something known to last a long long time without any drama and to try something non-Ford.

I challenge anyone to look at all manufacturers and find one that doesn't have some issues.

I think end of the day many manufacturers are struggling with trying to lower cost and increase bells and whistles to the point that there's just so much crap that can go wrong. I've already convinced myself that my next truck will be something between my 2021 and my 1996 even if I have to put a little money into it.
