Raptor trade in

[RubyRedRaptor15]

Should I trade in my paid off 2018 raptor with 110,000 miles on it for a 2020 raptor with 30,000 miles on it and take on payments? Or should I just keep the 2018?

if everything is sorted with the 2018...I'd keep it. Not enough difference to justify in my book. Never had I ever had a situation where a 2020 would do better at something then my 2018.

What are the numbers to move yourself down into the lower mileage 2020?

It's 500 a month for 4 years.

if you had the '18 since you got it and took care of it, not sure if goin to the newer used one is the better choice, unless it has somethin missing you want bad. Live valve and measurements are nice, but main reason i swapped from '18 to '20 was that one had no moonroof and my '18 was giving me troubles with a few things. IMO i liked how my '18 did around the street better than the '20 does, lil softer.

I love a new(ish) car...but that would be a hard no for me. like I said....a 2020 is not $24k better then a 2018

$500 a month for basically same truck I wouldn’t. Unless your current one has issues or the newer one is fully loaded and the ‘18 was base model.

You are putting on a lot of miles, over 20k miles per year.

At the end of the next 4 years, the 2020 with 30k miles will then have 110k miles. And you would also be $24k lighter in the wallet.

As the saying goes, never finance a depreciating asset. In your case, you are depreciating them faster than most, racking up that many miles.

I would keep driving the 2018 to 200k miles and reassess your situation then.

you’d be better off with a beater, peasant car to absorb the high mileage and promote the Raptor to recreational use.

No issues on the truck it's fully loaded and so is the trade in. I had the cam phasers replaced once, and then the camshaft position sensor recently. I appreciate everyone's input, I think I'm gonna buy a beater in cash and use this one recreationally like smurfslayer said.
