Looking at a 2010 Ford Raptor SVT with under 100k miles.. how expensive to maintain them?

Rocker panels need to be replaced. The rest of it I just scraped off with soap and water on a sponge just now and gotta cover it in rust-oleum paint.

Rocker panels will cost $400 for a set, the labor is what I’m worried about. Built in a budget for this stuff but concerned it’s gonna cost me $3k for labor

Gotcha, I am not used to dealing with rust. Guess it just comes along with things up there. Best of luck.

Rust isn’t good but the rocker panel is the issue. Comes with a 12 year old truck. Thanks though I’ll need it haha.

Then I guess the decision is all yours to make. looks like you have all the info you need. Good luck. Oh and that place Texas shock works here in Hutto, TX also buys and sales used shock. They have a cool exchange program as well.

Thank you!! I got 5 or 6 quotes and one shop claiming they won’t do due to the structural component of the seat belt on Ford raptors? I know plenty of people who had their raptor rocker panels replaced so idk where that came from

Also if anyone is selling rear used gen 1 shocks.. I’m in the market. I only bought some used fronts at this point

I have some. I just replaced them with Kings... they're newly rebuilt too with only 2000 miles on them. Text me at 310-927-7237 if ur interested - Brian
