Who’s sold their Gen 1 during this market and hates the decision they made?

[Skyfrog]

Two weeks after I bought my Raptor new in 2014, a dealer spotted it in our Lowe’s parking lot and offered me $10k over what I paid. I knew I had a keeper.
I’ve had my share of problems with the truck, which led me to start looking at new vehicles recently. The electric/hybrid options look interesting, but also very expensive.
I do plan to sell my Gen 1 at auction. After a complete restoration, adding a Roush, replacing worn/dented parts and considering inflation, I should get over $120k at the 2030 Mecum auction.

Haha I don’t think by any means I have a collector. I just though 36 was a little low. But whatever 100k isn’t even attainable for me.

This is my 3rd Raptor so I'd be lying if I said I never thought of trading it. But, as it's the 3rd Raptor, I keep on finding myself attracted to Raptors when I do let one go.

But now, with the vehicle shortage I just can't see anything worth trading my truck for, that isn't insanely expensive.

Increased trade value is pretty much countered by increased sale price.

36k trade in is/was low. I was offered 39k before summer with more miles at carmax and 41.4k with vroom.

Nope and should have bought 3 more when I bought mine nearly 3 years ago. There are not many mass produced vehicles out there that hold their value this steady

I honestly haven't driven a truck I've liked more than my 2013 Terrain supercrew. I had a 2013 Limited before this and sold it to get into the Raptor. I've driven Gen 2's and just don't get the same feeling, and I honestly don't like the body style as much. Yes, they have some features that are nice, but for me they don't win over the 6.2 and the body style of the Gen 1. My friend has a 2020 TRD Pro with a bunch of stuff done to it and although it's nice, it's a 7 year newer truck with less features than my truck has. Also, a vehicle that's paid for is the best one!

my SE gets more attention than anything else I’ve owned. People love em. I really don’t think gen2s get that much attention around town.

The Gen 1s have a distinctive look and more importantly, sound far better!!!
The Gen 2s, I don't know, lately with all the other trucks wanting to be Raptors,
they are all looking the same to me.
I do find myself having to take a much harder look to see what kind of truck I'm looking at these days.

For sure! There's tons of Gen 2's around town and half the time I don't even notice they are a Raptor without a second look!

 

[Citizen Park]

Why not a Gen 3 Raptor or a Tremor? I don’t know how anyone could even consider the Tundra…
