"The Predicament"

So here it goes. I owned and loved a 2013 Raptor Screw with all the goodies and added as most of us do, lights and winches and etc etc etc.

I thought I would be smart and sell while the market was "hot" and I did. Then I would wait for the 17 and pick up the new body style. I literally paid $52k for my truck, drove it for 49,000 miles and sold for $48k..... Maybe that was even too cheap as I scan around on eBay.

Now for the Predicament. I am still in love and missing my baby. I spend to many hours looking on all the sites for Raptors! I see new accessories that I NEED for the Raptor I don't have!

Do I buy another one or stick with my original plan and wait for the '17?!?? Tell me Raptor addicts, what do I do???

My first bit of advice would have been to keep what you have. However, since it's already sold, I'd wait for the 17 if you like it.

That is the practical advice! More than likely what I will do, but just very tempted...

I am excited for the 17, but unlike most I am actually very excited about the Eco boost.

My wife has a Lincoln Navigator with the Lincoln version of the Eco boost and 4:10 gears. I absolutely love it...... With that said I do really find myself drawn to the styling of the current gen 1.

Hang in there and wait 1 more year. In the mean time, purchase a razor or an traxxas r/c raptor and get your thrills.

I have a sxs. It certainly helps, but it's just different wo the Raptor!

Why not buy a 10' for real cheap with high mileage and just enjoy it till the 17' comes out?

Thought about that option a lot. Been looking, just can't seem to find that real cheap one. Amazing my local dealer has a '10 scab 5.4 w 29k miles. Asking $43,900.

Im all over an inexpensive 10 or 11 6.2 screw. Need screw, I have 3 boys.

Well a 10' screw does not exist so, we can rule that out lol. Anyway this bad boy could end your predicament Ford F 150 SVT Raptor Crew Cab Pickup 4 Door | eBay

That's exactly what I did. Bought a '10 Scab with 90k miles, 6.2, 1 owner, in the mid $30's. Runs perfectly and everyone still thinks it's new. I couldn't imagine being without my Raptor waiting that long for the new one.
