GEN 2 Raptor newbie looking at 2018 tomorrow - advice

[Stojanowski]

I was looking at 18’s . Im glad i got a 19 from the shocks , oil pan newer build for phasers etc. they are an average of 8k more and i feel its worth it.

Exactly why when I was looking the 19 was earliest I would go

Being in Tampa, I’d go 802a all day just to have the ventilated seats.

I bet the asking price ($57K) on the black 800A is more than the original MSRP. When I ordered my 2017 800A SCAB the base price was about $49K and I checked the boxes for a few stand alone options which brought the MSRP up to $52.5K.....then add about $1500 to the base price increase from 2017 to 2018.

You are spot on. My brand new 2017 802A SCAB with Torsen and heating steering wheel was $59.9k MSRP. I just looked at the window sticker.

My 2018 had a little over 40k miles on it. I looked at everything you have listed and crawlers under it to see if it had been ridden hard. Have only had it for a couple days but I have had no issues, seems like a brand new truck to me! Good luck!

Hello all,
Tomorrow I will be going to look at a 2018 Raptor Super Cab with less than 60k miles. So far I have the following to check while I’m looking at and driving the vehicle. Is there anything else I should look for? Many thanks in advance,

- Check for noise upon cold start up (cam phasers)
- Moonroof functionality and quick look at tracks inside and out to make sure they’re not cracked
- Engage 4 Lo and Hi when on test drive to make sure no issues
- Transmission (listen and feel while driving)
- Leaks underneath

Carfax shows one owner vehicle and no accidents. Thanks!

what you should be looking for is to not get price ra-ped.

it's not about does it or does it need or not need this or that. It's is that vehicle priced correctly for it's current condition.

sounds like you have no idea what you are doing. thats ok. bring it to someone that does.

Mine was 67, but it’s got everything but the graphics. I paid 50 for it 2.5 years ago.

@raptor556 with todays pricing on used vehicles being higher, what is your version of rap-ed pricing since you “do” know what you’re doing apparently?

Some early 18's have a plastic oil pan which I wouldn't want.

Does Gen3 have plastic oil pan?

Check out leadfoot, 2020, 25k miles at Tindol Ford. Fully loaded except decals. Ask for Greg Oates.
