I just remember when Biden got elected and everyone knew gas prices were going up a lot of the Gen 2 trucks on here went up for sale or were traded in. If they ever start selling Gen 3s for the discounts Gen 1s and 2s use to get on here then I think it will be a good thing. It is hard to justify a 90-120k F150 truck with an MSRP of 70-80k. Ford makes an excellent product do not get me wrong but they just do not hold their value.
Toyota Tundra right now has a hybrid and a twin turbo v6 which is very competitive for the Raptor's 3.5 ecoboost. The hardest thing my truck has ever seen are dirt roads and gravel. A new EV Hummer can easily handle that and for the 80-90k I am spending for it, I do not have to buy gas.
I’m not going to argue with you about adm, I won’t pay an adm and I don’t think the Gen 3 is worth the 100-110k some dealers are charging. But it’s egregious pricing and will hopefully go away. With the said, over the long term, unless you’re an idiot and paid 20-30k over msrp for one, the Raptor has retained its value excellently compared to anything else out there. I’ve never heard anyone say otherwise.
I can only speak for myself, but gas prices have absolutely nothing to do with my decision to own and dd a Raptor.
