It's worth every penny. Had it done on my 450 when it was brand new. It sat outside in the elements and after nearly three years I could tell it was time for another coat, but the paint was in showroom condition. And keeping it clean was as easy as it can be on something the size of a 450

I am with you on this one as well. First time Raptor owner here as well. I am coming from a 11 XLT. So, this truck is a massive upgrade for me.
I came from a 2010 XLT to my 2019 Raptor. You will not be disappointed.

a buddy here locally just got $68.5K for his 2018 raptor with fox 3.0s on it. ( trade-in from a dealer) 60 is low for your truck unless it has over 80K miles on it. ( right now)

I'd personally cash out and wait for things to settle. If you know how to buy, you can still buy well.


And as they say, you make your money when you buy, not when you sell.
I'm right at 80K and a few days ago when blue booking it on KBB and NADA, at 80K miles it was booking for $60K.

blue book and nada are kinda immaterial at the moment. Blueblook on my 19 F250 was 55K, I got 68 and change for it.

If you're seriously thinking about it, i'd try swinging by a dealer with an empty lot.

Gonna keep it. I got it for such a good deal at $9K under what it booked for from a family friend. Can’t part ways with her.

To the people concerned about the car wash. Get it ceramic coated !! If your somewhat lazy about washing or just work a lot. Makes washing your raptor a 20 minute ordeal. A hard rain also gets it halfway clean, nothing sticks to it.
First appointment I am making when I get an eta for it. Make sure you get the trims as well.

Samesies...

Really wanted the 37" package since I have 37s on my power wagon now but it was tough to swallow the 83k price tag plus extra 5k dealer wanted and blue seats
I didn’t go for the 37s either due replacement cost of tires, possibly reduced mpg, and l don’t think it will be as snappy as the 35s. For what I do with the truck, 35s are big enough.
