Welcome to FRF, #ThatGuy
You should easily be able to beat 55-60k for a stock-ish truck. AVOID lifted trucks, and if an ESP is a possibility, make sure the seller checks to ensure that a tune has not been installed. Even if you didn’t do it, the tune could compromise the powertrain components warranty, depending on what fails.
IF you can find a truck with no twin panel moonroof:
STOP what you are doing and immediately negotiate to secure this unicorn truck. Even if you have to go down to the crossroads and make a deal with the Devil. I’d be willing to bet there are probably less than 1k from each model year without the moonroof. The tracks are prone to breakage if the seals to the glass are not maintained properly, which is documented only in internet lore and it’s a rather pricey fix.
if you can only find a moonroof equipped truck, it’s not a deal breaker, just make sure that you open / close it at the seller’s BEFORE any paperwork. Lube properly with Ford’s pricey “Krytox” grease, and open to the vent position FIRST, close, THEN move the glass to the rear.
Prepare to be underwhelmed by the stereo. It’s about a 2800-3500 fix depending on your tastes and unfortunately, the B&O doesn’t lend itself to a step by step upgrade.
Tires are notoriously hard to balance on the Rap. Make sure you get a good test drive.
Verify all the drive modes and transfer case settings function, and also, while in 2hi, try to get some windows down, heavy but part throttle acceleration. listen for a clicking noise, knocking noise, etc. The front hub IWE system may need to be looked at if you hear this. quick verification: switch to 4a and repeat the test. if the noise goes away, leave it in 4a and have the IWE system inspected.
The clock is ticking. We’ll give you 2 weeks to produce Raptor pictures, or you will be branded a prius driving road menace, with an appropriate ride picture selected for you.
