Good info...also before you get rid of the Raptor (or any modern vehicle), do a factory reset to erase all "YOUR" saved information...

This, has been my go to process for my BMWs for years now… start it for the final trip to trade in/new pickup, do master reset and delete of all my data… only once confirmed head to the dealer

I've done master resets and homellink wipes myself but what doesn't seem to clear is when it's linked to a ford dealership for service. I would see my old trucks there for sometime. Showed VIN, Mileage, OIL%. Nothing earth shattering but still show up.

So always check these 4

wasnt there someone recently able to track their previous truck to mexico?

There was and it was one of the funniest reads here. Even Google Street Viewed the hacienda in the middle of nowhere….

When I bought mine from the dealership home was set and I knew where they lived. His fault....and dealers.

I did a master reset once I got home with mine. No stockers needed.

I sold my 19 ,years ago to Toyota, same thing i could see where the new owner lived, but sorry i could not resist ,i warmed the truck up a few mornings for him /her when it was cold out. Then deleted the truck

 

[Roush2568]

That's too funny. Lol.

 

[Darkwhip]

I left the dealership, drove about a mile and did the reset in a $Tree parking lot.

If that question is to me…I feel like I made out like a bandit.

They paid me almost $4,000 more in November, 2024…versus what I bought my 801A for in May, 2024.

They paid me more than what new 801A’s (identical to mine) were going for at the time in the Midwest.

I assumed they had some sort of algorithm where they knew they could sell it in the western US or Texas. Sure enough, they sold it in 4 days…and it went out west.

The selling process was simple…I showed up at the set time, they took 10-15 pictures and handed me a cashiers check. I was in/out in 15 minutes.
