[QUOTE="Sunder, post: 1276050, member: 27119"] I understand your concern. I would say you have to look at the overall condition of the vehicle. Of course with a SC, the owner would have “had a little fun” with it (why else have a SC?), but if the rest of the truck is in good shape the previous owner probably took care of it. Everything I have read, the engine & drivetrain of the Raptor can handle the power of a SC. Could something happen and break? I suppose, it is a mechanical engine after all. I just bought a SC Raptor with 70k miles because it has everything I was looking for! I had been searching since February. And it is 1000 miles away from me. That blue interior is pretty hard to find! This is the second black one with blue interior with SC that I have seen in 5 months. The guys on the forum that have SC always comment that they wish they did it sooner! Adding one yourself is $10-14k cost and the advantage is that you know it wasn’t abused. Finding a used truck with SC adds $2-4k and it might have been abused.... but you now have an extra $8-10k for repairs _IF_ they are needed. That was my rationale at least. What could it hurt to test drive it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
