Used Price Differences between Roush & Normal Raptor?

[Robb27]

Hello! Been a long time lurker and had a question I couldn't find the answer to given the recent price climate for used Gen 2's. Question being shouldn't a used Roush Raptor demand more of a premium than a regular Raptor if they were both 802A optioned out? That doesn't seem to be the case on a few listings and I cannot understand why?

Mods don't add value, Roush is just mods. Same thing with the Roush Mustangs. It also doesn't help that the Roush cars are often kind of ugly.

As Pinned mentioned, Roush is not a factory package, it’s an aftermarket upfit. Same with Shelby, both are just badges and aftermarket parts.

Agreed, the Roush Raptor looks terrible with the graphics and wheels they chose as well. And that is reflected in the price as Robb mentioned, less demand for ugly trucks!

Got it thanks for the feedback! They are visually different for sure so understand that part completely.

Roush and Shelby Raptors look like Marty McFly was on the design team. Also probably the source of inspiration for the TRX…that’s not a compliment.

I agree with these comments I think those packages take the look away from a Raptor. It makes it look less Raptory I guess. If that makes sense.

I was just chatting with a former GEN 1 Roush owner, I said former, BC he just traded his in to buy a new JEEP Gladiator Mojave. He bought his Roush two years ago for $36K and got $42K trade in value last month at the Dodge Dealership. BTW they are adding at least $5K over MSRP on the Jeep Wranglers Sport, ask me how I know (my daughter got a lease on one instead of buy)

Thanks for the feedback all- I ended up passing on the Roush and picked up a '19 instead this past weekend. The Roush was appealing due to their dual Fox reservoir set up at all 4 corners but the look I agree was very loud for sure. Looking forward to the forums events and will post pics in the new member intro thread shortly!
