Probably should have researched more before buying a 2019 Raptor

Welcome to the velocity blue club. Mine's a 19 and solid except for an exploding sunroof about a year ago (total fluke).

Step 1, get off the internet. Or you may figure out that every time you have a cough that you are going to die.

My truck just started exhibiting the cam phaser rattle last week at 50K. I have it scheduled for service and I'm confident Ford will do me right. I just came off my first off-roading adventure that was without a doubt the best vacation of my life. Rattle or no rattle, I'll give up my '19 Raptor when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. Enjoy!

Relax. The Ecoboost motors are a lot more reliable than the Internet will have you believe.

Hell, if you believed everything you Googled, CorvetteForum would have you believing LS motors are unreliable trash.

I got some waste gate rattle too. Dealer says it’s not bad so I run it, have fun, and enjoy the truck! Agree with others, the internet will make you worry about everything!

October of 2018 if i am reading the door jam correctly

Mine was built in Oct 2018 and is a 2018 not 2019.

It's CPO, just drive it and let the smile go from ear to ear. Congrats and enjoy it!

I am in the exact boat, I have a 2019 Tacoma TRD Pro and have been bouncing back and fourth on trading it in on a 2019 or 2020 Raptor. The Cam Phaser issue has been scaring me as well which has made me hold off. I was hoping they would come out with a redesigned motor for 2021 but no luck. The used market is stupid high right now which helps me on my TRD Pro trade but of course hurts on the Raptor purchase.

If I could just walk into a Ford dealer and grab a 2021/22 order I would have probably pulled the trigger by now but I cant so I am still pacing back and fourth trying to decide what I should do.

As others have said, don't let it phase you and enjoy. Take it off-road and you'll see it was not a wrong decision.

I have a 2017 and just got my truck back from the dealer yesterday after having the cam phaser repair completed. It took them a week to get it done, but she sounds good and runs great now. All covered under warranty and it was really painless other than being without the truck for a week. I wouldn't worry about it, Ford has extended their coverage on the phasers so you'll have some extra time for the problem to develop, if it's going to at all. If you end up needing it done, it's not a big deal. The new cam phaser's that are being installed for the repairs are supposedly upgraded and don't fail like the older ones have.
