      I find it funny that any high school kid with a wrench can go to a wrecking yard pick up an LS Chevy clean it up call Edelbrock for a carb conversion and a MSD crank trigger and be putting out 500hp in a weekend. Hell I have short bed Chevy with a gen1 roller and a set of Vortec heads that puts out 400 that I let anyone use if they need it. As for the 4x4 unit those aren't worth spit unless your just using it on a smooth gravel road. Don't get me started on what junk those Raptors are and how they suck morons in. I subscribe to the idea there is no 1 perfect car so you need 15. I did just get a deal on an FJ Cruiser last week (my first Toy) guess Scotty got into my brain. We will see how it works out. Not as fast as my early Bronco (my only Ford and more or less retired) but it sure rides better. I had to rip out all the suspension and steering on that Ford because the design is so dangerous and unpredictable. Built not bought is the only way to beat the car industry.

    We had a customer come in with his Raptor for a hard ride and a rattle in the front end. The truck was still under basic warranty so I wrote it up as a warranty concern. When the tech checked it out, he found one of the front shocks collapsed and the truck was beat up underneath, obviously it had been jumped. At that time Ford was asking us to call the tech hotline for suspension concerns before doing repairs. We figured since the truck had clearly been jumped/off-roaded/abused that the repair would not be covered and the estimate for repair was about $1000.00
    To our surprise, Ford said to do the repair under warranty because that's what they built the truck to do. Of course, they wanted the old part back for parts analysis.
    I was impressed. And it was the only Raptor I've seen since then that had a blown shock.

    I got a 2012 Rap SCab. I absolutely love this truck, my 2012 has literally the same mileage on the clock as this one Scotty is talking up. If you buy a Raptor be aware, the suspension is not cheap, Fox recommends their shocks be rebuilt at 50k miles. Just to give you an idea, I sent a pair of front shocks only to Fox and it was $500 plus shipping them to Cali. Fox has top notch customer service BTW. Always ask when the shocks were rebuilt if ever, and check the skid plates. jumpers gash up the skids on the Raps I've been around. The 6.2L is a beaut.

    • @chrishernandez2490

      @TheKevinhaeb 4 года назад +4

      Agreed on the shocks. The Fox shocks are great performers but both of my used Gen 1 raptors had bad shocks at purchase. Recently did the exchange program with forged off-road and the rebuilt shocks didn’t even last 1k miles. I decided to go with new gen 2 shocks and couldn’t be happier. Gen 1 shocks just don’t hold up and you’re lucky to get 50k out of them. Still couldn’t be happier with the Raptor and could care less about cost of ownership.

    I drive 2018 F150 Raptor with 212 CID twon turbo has 450HP, 512 torque and gets 18mpg mixed driving regular gas. When I play hard, it eats premium gas, when I tow near max it eats premium gas; so does any other Ford Performance vehicle. Mine (a super cab) is shorter than one shown and much lighter, but heavier and beefier frame with aluminun body. New, they are going for about 70 large now and dealers rarely cut any deals on them. I did get a great trade price for my Platinum 2013. The comfort and technolog is tops and resale, if not beat all to hell,is great too.

    Mines a 2010 and I'm averaging 13mpg. I purchased it with 83k miles back in November from the Ford dealership where it was originally purchased. It's a one owner (she was 68years old) and she traded it in for something smaller! Never seen dirt and had less than 9k miles a year put on her! I paid $27,401

    There's a reason why Ford has sold the most full size pick ups for 43 years and the Raptir is one good reason why. An off road vehicle that was specifically designed for off roading. Yeah the V8's were the best ones, but unless you are off roading a lot on your property on the weekends, the Raptor isn't really a city driving vehicle.

    I owned a 2013 SVT Raptor Super Cab, and had 3 issues. The fuse pump issue which is a $30 dollar fix and 25 mins of your time. The second was replacing the ball joints and shocks. The first owner did a lot of off-roading so those needed to be replaced at 45k miles. After those were replaced, it was back to normal. The third and largest issue was the torque converter went out and I had to have the transmission rebuilt. That was $3600. This thing was a beast and I’m looking at getting another one but this time one that wasn’t beat on.

That said man the performance you get with this Raptor wins! Besides the price. Mines paid off soooo it’s reliable and I use it as a truck when I want. Yup keeping my 150 fo life. Btw I use a Ford Focus 2012 manual hatch titanium, 170K only changed rotors, battery. I bought the focus 140k miles ago.

    little, put in a Whipple supercharger. But I'll tell you what, you may
    have a 10 year old truck compared to everyone else, but you won't care

    The V8 was only available during the first few years. The V8 and V6 were never offered together. They now use an updated version of the Ecoboost 3.5L V6. It does not get better fuel economy than the V8. In theory it could. But because of it's weight the Raptor is always getting into boost because the Turbos are very small and spool very quickly. They never offered a N/A V6 in the Raptor either. It has always been the 3.5 ecoboost from 2017 to now, everything before 2017 was either a 5.4 V8 or 6.2 V8.

    You mentioned the turbos on the newer Raptors, I actually don't think Ford offers their new generation Raptor without the turbo. And I don't think there's been much improvement in luxury or off-road technology over the past 5 years. So as long as it hasn't been beat to hell, buying a used one is probably the better option.
