Why so many low milage Gen2 trucks for sale?

[Idleone]

This is quite a humorous thread. The elephant in the room is that the GEN2 trucks are plagued by oil leaks, transmission leaks, transmission failures... and in fact a whole bevy of problems documented here on this very web site. Those problems don't contribute to low mileage GEN2s being prematurely available for sale? REALLY?

Before I bought my truck I did a little research. I visited the Ford Raptor web site and took note of the overall length and width of the vehicle I was considering buying. Then I went out to my actual garage and with an actual tape measure determined if the garage was actually large enough to actually accommodate a Raptor. This little bit of practical research revealed that the garage was large enough all right, but the then-current positions of the table saw, welding rig, etc. restricted available space. So I moved them. Problem solved. It was not challenging. It was not difficult. It was, in fact, a one-beer job. An actual beer, of course.

Yep.. 26 sold at Mannheim across the country since 7/18/17 . 6 months back they would average 71500 on the block , today 65k projected next month 64k.
Something I thought was strange

That auction house is where Ford dumps test and media fleet vehicles. They've been driven but never owned.

Everyone I saw go at auction went for MSRP or very close.

My 2017 is going no-where, but I like the inference from the troll OP that something is wrong with the 2017's.

Not sure why people think a ton of used Raptors are for sale.

A quick look at Autotrader reveals 127 used 2017 Raptors

Looking at Car.com has another 131 used 2017 Raptors

Out of 25,000 2017 trucks, only 0.5% is currently for sale on either Autotrader or Cars.com. One out of 200 owners hardly seems like an epidemic and is probably one of the lowest resale rates of any vehicle produced this year.

I've only been posting here since I put in my order for a Raptor, but I've been lurking for quite a bit longer than that. I've seen the problem posts, however, "plague" is hardly the word I'd use. Heck, many of the issues I've read about were self inflicted by use of devices like Pedal Commander and all the legitimate issues don't seem abnormally high to me.

Something else to keep in mind here...

Many of the comments/reasons are right on target. But one other likely factor is expectations (especially in Texas) regarding load capacity and TOWING.

Many buyers chasing the latest, greatest, most awesome truck (or car) around don't know the first thing about them and don't know what it can/can't do or how it will perform for their use.

Watch the Power Wagon and when people realize the low payload! Still can't believe they call it a 2500...

I'm curious. What owner-installed add-on devices explain crankcase and transmission pan leaks?

And then there's more serious problems like this: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f261/engine-misfire-message-55348/
Explain that, if you will, with an aftermarket add-on.

I think you need a reading comprehension tutor. If you actually understood what you read, you wouldn't need me to explain any of that.

Where are you seeing that a Pedal Commander is causing issues?

I hear you .
I'm a auto junkie and carry a dealers license and the only raptors I seen run at auction wasn't owned by ford but dealers who purchased these new at msrp or a hair over msrp and putting the cash in there pocket.. a dealer I buy my Porsche's from bought and sold 10 new ones. He was paying 2500 to 3k over sticker and making the same in his pocket on resale, as u can see Manhiem results the last month or so, these are not rookie #'s.
. A month or so back I watched one run with 5k miles without 802a and it brought 68k .. Market has settled and according to Manheim , MMR will drop another grand within 30 days.. like I said I wasn't in market for a new Raptor at all but after I seen the owner of Go Recons modified raptor , I was on the horn that afternoon trying to locate my best deal and bought one the next day from a dealer 750 miles from me, paid the sales guy to drive it to me on his day off and I flew him home that night . It was just a really hot piece then and still is but is settling down. I'm having fun modifying it to my tastes and I will possibly keep her or let her go .. it's just a really fun, cool unit!
