I didn't realize Adam's was a vendor on this site, but I did already order some product from their website this week with the Father's Day sale. Reasons I am going with Gen 3?
-This will be my first Raptor. I've been waiting for a time in my life it was financially right since Gen 1 and I've hit that point in my life. Also have never bought a new vehicle, always used.
-Tech upgrades are a huge sell. I drove a new F150 last weekend with most of the interior stuff to get a better idea and I absolutely loved the new infotainment center

1. The used market bumped the value of my 2017 Superduty through the roof. I was able to trade it in for $3k less than I paid for it 4 years and 60k miles ago. I have a daily driver so I can deal without the truck for a few months.

2. The dealership agreed to sell me a Performance Package 2021 Raptor for MSRP because they really wanted my truck (was sure to get it in writing). I got 1 of their 2 Performance Package allocations.

3. I love all the new tech in the new F150's and I've been a fan of the Raptor for years. Almost bought one in 2017 instead of my Superduty.

4. I'm not afraid of a first year vehicle as I have owned a 2009 F-150, a 2015 F-150 and a 2017 F-250, all without problems.
I got 8 grand more than I paid ( including TTTL) for my 2019 F250 that was having significant issues. I put about 10K into the truck in upgrades, so the total cost for driving it for 2 years and 34K miles was $2K. I even got an additional tax differential bump since I got 68 for it, so in reality, it was more like I paid $1300 to tow my raptor around with it for 2 years. The used diesel truck market is stupid right now.

Yeah, it's really crazy. I forgot to mention the tax savings as well. They gave me $63k for it, so I will also have the tax savings of almost $4k. So, I basically drive it for free for 4 years. I'll write the mods off as "fun maintenance". :hahano:

Keeeping my 2019 with upgraded audio. Once the reports started coming in that the bo unleaded system was mediocre I made the decision to scrap it upgrading. Especially with the whine remaining the same

For the novice customer, is the Unleashed system decent?
