Longevity of the Raptor

[Raptor Embroidery]

70k miles. Minor issues. All have been fixed and upgraded. Looks much better than stock now

Interesting question Indeed !
I would think due to the off road enhancements , I.E. F-350 brackets , suspension, the REAL bolts that hold the thing together and all the other things that make it durable off road at high speeds , would make it last extra- long if you drove it like it was a standard F-150 2x. kept it on the pavement , little off road and with regular maintence ,

I know, wwhhoo buys one for that,,, but from the point stated it should last a long time, however due to the severity of the off roading a toll will be extrcated per trip , kinda like an natural athelete who smokes , probably geneticly superior but each cigerate will take its toll, ( No disrespect to anyone who smokes or have lost loved ones who did,)

I have 45,000 ,give or take, on my 2013 and almost every mile is highway , lol I guess I bought one for that , lol , anyway usualy im at highway speeds or higher but almost allways in a straight line, relatively speaking , and it truly drives as good if not better like its brand new. I change oil with the,filters,factory recommended every threeish thousand miles, a little soon but hey its my money. I think it will last
well above average of a standard model.

I bought a 2000 F150 for "garbage miles" and keep the Raptor for fun driving. It will easily out live me at this rate (6-10,000/yr). The 2000 had 262,00 when it took a dump. Newer engine in it now and it should go another 100,000 plus in garbage runs. The Raptor has first class maintenance and should also go 200,000... NO plans of ever getting rid of it!!

If you treat it right it should last forever. I'll keep mine for as long as possible if the engine dies I'll swap it, if something breaks or wears out I'll replace it.

That's how I feel at this point. This truck has a fantastic blend of luxury comfort combined with off-road performance. Just like every vehicle, there are parts that you can upgrade to make it more badass and I plan on doing just that. If a part breaks, a stock part won't go back on - I'll be getting a beefed up aftermarket part instead.

I believe it's safe to say that the Raptor is the most diverse vehicle on the road. With that in mind during its design and build, all things equal (driving habits and maintenance), it should outlast other gas powered F-series or its competitor.

My 2011 started having problems at 36k and when I sold it at 70k had quite a few. Lots of little things to break -- no different than the loaded up regular F-150. Maybe even worse because of the specific problems associated with the front axles on the 2012 and up. Perch mods seem to give the 2012 and up problems. People get emotional and think it is special but is just a modified F-150 in the end for most of the truck.

I want to see what the new one looks like in a coupe of years...

I bought mine 11/2011 brand new with 6 miles. It was built 9/2011. It now has 65,500 miles. Took quite a few long trips to Texas, Pittsburgh and all over the east coast. Just got back from Michigan. Went there to the Roush Performance Speed Shop to get the Phase 2 - 590Hp package installed.. It is a beast and knock on wood did not have any issues. I perform regular oil changes at 7,000 miles with full synthetic oil.

What "problems on the mid perch to the 2012-2014" are you referring?
