Should I join the Raptor family?

[20Raptor13]

For years now, i have wanted a ford raptor. They have always been out of my price range until fairly recent. I see some in the mid 20s, but found a 2013 Supercrew with 180k on it for 18.5k. The truck will need new tires. I pulled a carafe had a PPI done on it with it needing minor repairs. Is this something i should jump on or pass on it because of mileage? Title is clean. 3 owners. Thanks in advance!

It’ll need shocks too. They last 50k or so until rebuild time. Can you post up some photos of it? What’s the undercarriage look like?

 

[20Raptor13]

Thanks for the reply. Undercarriage looks clean. If it’s been off-road, it hasn’t been much. I figured shocks would probably need replaced as current owner hasn’t done it in last 30k miles.

They’ve driven it 30k miles a year to this point, so it’s a high mileage rig for sure. The price they’re asking is pretty low though, probably in deference to that mileage...

You can but it or keep looking. There are rigs identical to that one with low mileage that might run $40k, do it depends what you can live with and how much you can afford.

Nice looking rig, and for a decent price. The drivetrain is solid, as long as it is maintained. You should have plenty of life left.

Make sure the "fuse 27 swap" has been done, and all the recalls too. Easy and low cost trip to a dealer!
