Raptor incoming.

Hello folks!
I'm not an owner yet, but I'll be buying my Raptor this year so I thought this forum might help me decide on options and what not.
Glad to be here and looking forward to the chats!

Hey Corona... Gen 3.
I'm going to walk into Ford and order one brand spanking new. Been thinking about it for the past 5 years and its finally time. Which one are you driving?

Yeah, one of the first 6.2 Gen 1's. If the Gen 3 comes with a v8 and a scab, I might move up, but my chances are slim. Good Luck.

Hey man.
If I had more time to wrench, Id probably get an older one myself.
I've been back and forth a couple of times on new v used.
Settled on new so I can (hopefully) keep it off the jacks for a few years.

Thanks!
Looks like the scab is a no go from what I've read.. which is unfortunate. But the 8 cyl option is actually making it harder for me. One of the reasons I was shopping the regular F150 was because of the limited power options on the gen 2 raptors. But I decided Id just get the 6 and be happy. But now with the 8 (supposedly) in the mix for next year its going to make it hard to get the 6. I don't want to wait any longer.. but damn..

I wouldn't exactly call Gen 1 poverty class. I LOVE my Gen 1. Could have bought a Gen 2 or 3, but the Gen 1 was everything I wanted and more. I'm VERY happy .
