Purchasing a 2020 Raptor

[ajdoms]

Hello,
I’m looking at buying a 2020 lightly used raptor. Looking to find out how the reliability is and what kind of mechanical issues they are known for, due to the price of the truck.

I’ve had my 2020 for a little over 2 years now. Currently at 44k miles. I have had zero problems.

It’s a shame there’s not a sub forum on FRF that might have a topical discussion about what issues to look for ...

Oh wait!

H/T to RAPTORZIN for a great FAQ on buying a Rap. Here are some things to look for on the 2017 - 2020 model year F150 Raptors For reference 2010 - 2014: The original, first generation, “Gen 1” or Jen Juan Raptor. 2017 - 2020: The new, improved, younger, hotter sister. “Gen 2” or Jen Too...

A late build 2020 is probably the most reliable/sorted out Raptor you can buy barring any extremely low mileage 6.2 Gen 1s, but certainly the most reliable production run of all Gen2 & Gen3s out there

I have a 2020 with a 10/20 build date. Its been solid (45k) knock on wood. I would definitely shoot for a 20' outta of the Gen 2's.

Yeah I should probably mention- my 2020 is now @ 86k miles- only issues have been needing to refresh the suspension which is just maintenance but @ one point i had all 4 live valves “buzzing” @ me every time I started up lol, I had a small crack in a valve cover just recently noticed @ 80k miles during spark plug change - probably could’ve used RTV but swapped for new, and just recently I’m starting to get some noise from drivers side wheel area & im 90% certain it’s either a wheel bearing going bad or something minor w/ IWE system- 4wd/4a still works as it should & sound is intermittent.

That’s it- never left me stranded, do decent amount of towing, just drive the hell out of it doing truck stuff dad stuff dog stuff etc.

Just do the service

My shocks are going in to be refreshed in May (FRS 3.0 Live valves) its going to be the most expensive service to date. $1800, includes removal and re-installation

Mine is a february 20's production (just before covid mess...)and very happy with, I had only the driver door actuator changed by myself even if it was cover by warranty , I didn't want someone other touch the truck without knowing exactly what to do. F150 are unknown here...
I am wondering why we are answering, OP doesn't seem interested by his own thread...
