New to the Gen2 Raptor community

Whats up guys...Neewb here just got me a Raptor with 802a pkge. Its a 2017 with 93k miles, but it was the only price range my pockets could afford . Been driving F150's my whole life, this is my 4th one. XL, XLT, Lariat, and now finally the TOP DOG. I know that's a lot of miles but I got it from a Ford dealership which gave me a better false sense of security. I also purchased a 5yr warranty from Endurance that will cover me until 148k miles instead of the (overpriced) 2yr unlimited mile warranty from the dealer. Truck is amazing condition visually inside and out. But it is a Raptor so I know it probably was driven hard. I probably should have driven a new one first to gauge how it drives, because I've never driven an EcoBoost before. To me it drove great just really soft and bouncy. But I am coming from a 2010 lifted 5.4 3v 5star custom tuned F150 with Fox 2.0 shocks. Only mode im in the process of doing is Eibach Pro lift springs, JLT catch can, and 35x12.50x17 Toyo AT3's on OEM forged B-Lock wheels. I have the SCT X4 7015 tuner from the 5.4 3v that 5star said I could use on the 3.5TT also but kind of worried about adding a tune with 90k miles. I know some will say I'm crazy for purchasing a truck with 90k miles but the Raptor has been a dream truck of mile since 2010 but with 1 in college and 1 going next year you get what you can get. I'm happy soooo..... Well sorry guys about the long post but I'm excited to be part of the RAPTOR COMMUNITY now. Hoping to get some great information from all you Raptor vets. In the Army we would say "Scouts Out" imma change it up and say "Raptor Out"

No real point in buying that warranty if you're going to tune it. I wouldnt

Welcome to the place. Congrats on the Raptor, rules around here are: post a pic or its a Prius. Not all raptors are driven hard, best thing to do is crawl under it and look to see if there are scratches on the undercarriage components. Most are street queens these days, so the mileage isnt too high in my books. Enjoy it!

If you have a few scratches on the front skid plate I wouldn't worry too much. I have some on mine. Never heard what they came in contact with and I drive my truck real easy off road(cause my wife is always with me).
Welcome. What color Prius did you get?

We won't help you until you post a pic, we don't care if the smog is thick where you live. You see the 3 red rectangles below your post, the one in the middle is "upload a file" , click on that and find a pic of your Prius an click on that and then press "insert" then "post reply". If you need more help, just ask. PS: we like pink Prius's the most.
