The search for a Raptor

[Raptor911]

This truck was sold in Vegas when new. The records looks suspicious as it was never registered until 11,437 miles. Then it made its way to AZ then sold at auction in Michigan. It was a desert (Nevada & Arizona) truck for 36,748 miles so most likely saw some off-roading.

I see this service record at 25,169 miles:

Alignment performed
Steering gear replaced
Power steering pump replaced
Battery/charging system checked
Brakes checked
Tire condition and pressure checked
Maintenance inspection completed

OH yeah! She saw lots of dirt.

I appreciate all the replies! Yeah I am going to keep that in mind with the whole bed and cab alignment. Could you define the "crab"? Distance is no issue- it can be anywhere in the contiguous US!

WOW!! I never in a million years would've put that together... These poor trucks, some are just flat abused. I guess I'm going to have to be extra cautious when buying

Yeah...sounds like 911 called that one sounds like it had some hair on it anyway...

Now for the current 2010... It has a block heater so it has spent time outside in the cold, the truck has bee exposed to all the shit they treat the roads with...has any treatment been done to protect the undercarriage?

Check the car fax report...I do like the fact the the owner used Amsoil throughout the entire truck....might ask if he has every done an Oil Analysis...

Just never know with these trucks...

Here's the window sticker >> http://services.forddirect.fordvehicles.com/inventory/WindowSticker.pdf?vin=1FTEX1EV3AFA18793

Carfax looks clean. There have been 2 owners. 1st owner owned it for 1 year and 2 months.

Carfax shows the color as white but that is an obvious mistake as the window sticker and pics shows a black truck.

Truck was serviced twice (please note carfax only shows dealer maintenance):
