Buying first raptor

[jdt1970]

I’m looking at buying a gen1 scab. I have a 2013 being transferred to local carmax. It should be here 12/26. I would appreciate any advice on buying a used raptor. Anything in particular to watch out for (mechanical problems, must have options, bad options,...etc). This one has a n-fab bumper which I’m not crazy about. Thanks in advance!

Listen for clicking coming from the dash area. The blend door actuators are known to go bad and can be pricey to replace.

Welcome, check for leaks at the rear diff/ pinion seal, trans pan, and see if you can get any service records

Worked perfectly fine for me, as I had all the same questions. Not a **** at all.

This was a post of mine from an older, extremely similar thread...

Again, not being a ****. If I was a ****, my response would have been VASTLY different. Nothing I said was disrespectful. I’d argue my response was helpful. But if you took it the wrong way, similar to OP based on his one word “ok” response, then what can I say. Need some thicker skin.

TONS of useful information on here. If you think the Search feature “sucks ass”, there’s another extremely useful search feature called Google. If one was to google “Ford Raptor forum things to look for when buying gen 1”, you’d be amazed at the results being returned.

On that note, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Like I said in my first response, best of luck in your search!
