New Raptor at Dealership with 44 miles

[tmanker]

Loving it. Running 91/93/E50 tunes with TCM tuning. I have a vehicle allowance that makes the payment and then some. I hope they are still making this truck in 5 years when I have 150k on it and will be ready for a new one.

My 2019 had 15 miles on it when I took delivery and I drove it for 3 of them for the test drive. My commute is only 12 miles round trip each day to work. I also have a 2003 F150 that I use to take to the airport parking lots and for hauling things around. So after 7+ months I'm standing at 4031 miles. I guess I need to start driving it around more to keep up with you monsters out there!!

This is the type of dude no dealership or private owner wants to sell to. Way over the top.



All worried about the engines compromised life. then will sell it at 70k anyhow.

May I assert my opinion that you're being WAY over the top.

I concur. It's a truck. I dunno, maybe I'm just too easygoing but a test drive or two doesn't seem like a big deal. Perhaps if there was a dent or underbody scrape on a truck they said hasn't been driven but not 44 miles.

some dealerships don’t allow test drives too
I didn’t test drive mine

Even though you were buying it? That's crazy. I have heard of dealers not allowing them for people that weren't buying but spending 70+K on a vehicle that you've never driven just wouldn't work for me.

I ended up placing an order and should arrive 5-9 weeks as they already had one in the queue.

Solid call, I'm glad it worked out. I wanted to special order (because I don't want a sunroof, too many historical anecdotes of me in Miami with a leaking sunroof to count) but I ended up finding a '19 with everything I wanted outside of the no sunroof. The dealer wanted to move it so I got almost 7k off MSRP and that was worth it to me. Enjoy your new truck and Go Chiefs!

I’ve never seen a new raptor at a dealership under 40 miles. My 18 new had 45 and my 19 new had 49. The nine others on the lot had between 44 and 51 with a demo at 144.

Mine came off the truck with 11 miles on it. I wouldn't care if it had 40-50 though, and don't care if it was test driven. Hell my GT3 had nearly 100 miles on it when I purchased. Didn't care one bit

May I assert my opinion that you're being WAY over the top. This is a Raptor, if the red line was hit on every pull of those 44 miles, who cares? And the probility of that is extremely low to begin with. Raptors aren't delicate flowers, and frankly GT3RS aren't either.

My father used to say, that redine is where you tell your wife to shift gears in a Porsche
