Looking at upgrading to a 2023

[shank_guru]

I currently have a 2019 Raptor that I really enjoy. Local GM dealership has a couple used Raptors. One is a loaded 2023 that I took a look at this afternoon just for fun. Deal is decent, I can do some negotiation on trade and total OTD. I really don't NEED a new-ish truck (2000 miles), but if the deal is right, why not.

Anything I should really look at closely? Or try and work down the deal and let the warranty handle everything? Appreciate your input.

Check the CarFax for any collision damage and see ownership history. What are they asking for the 2023?

They gave me the Carfax. Clean, no accidents, 1 owner. 2,000 miles. $87,500.

35 or 37?

Use the search function top right of the screen to find the thread with common Gen 3 issues.

35. Thanks a bunch for the help.

I am probably wrong, but I thought that price was MSRP for a new 37. Check your area for the price they are going for.

You can get a new 35 for msrp all over right now. $80,000-85,000 depending on options

Yes, I have looked at Ford.com and built a new truck. There is room in the deal. I'm not concerned about what I will pay. It won't be their price.

What I am asking is about the truck itself. What are the top watchouts. Are the issues from this thread sorted out: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/things-to-check-after-taking-delivery.86952/

2023 has a lot of changes from 2022. No Torsen front, no heated steering wheel (can be enabled with minor work), no advanced security package, etc etc. Tons of info here on the board. I'm definitely supporting the upgrade!

If the dealer can make it work and both parties are happy it may be worth it. My only downside on 23 is no Torsen and no tuning support yet.
