Not sure about lowest mile ever but a 13 w/only 2,400 miles just sold on Bat for a cool 71K 2013-ford-f-150-svt-raptor-15 These trucks will become collectable in time if you keep them up and in good condition. I wouldn't buy a vehicle just for that however. Buy it cause you love it. Treat it...

I have a 13 with 29K miles, still on its stock suspension (mid perch). I'd let you drive it for free, but I'm in the middle of the country. I agree with the above post about going out and driving the actual truck. My ride is very supple compared to a regular F 150, but every vehicle cam be a...

You're kind of playing with fire when leaving your keys in the truck unattended. It's ridiculously quick and easy to break into late model F-150's with only a pair of pliers. (google it) Here's a thread that mentions it: https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/2018-raptor-broken-into.89467/...

I don't really see any blue in the pictures either, but I do remember when I was re-doing some seats in a car. Had a very hard time finding the right color fabric for the backs. It was a real dark blue. When I placed a sample of blue that looked pretty close on top of it, the original appeared...

Original Gen 1 owner, a 2013 w/only 29K miles on the clock. Guess I don't spend enough time anymore reading the forums to see the bickering between generations. I like all 3, but am not really a big fan of the ever-growing use of technology in vehicles. I prefer to concentrate on the driving...

Historically, the first and last model year of a vehicles production have a little more desirability when it comes to collecting. The biggest factor on any vehicle is condition. Low milage isn't always an indicator of good condition but if a vehicle presents in excellent condition, low milage...

First off, you shouldn't make a purchase based off what you think will become valuable. You should buy what you like and enjoy it, hands down. Both trucks have the potential to become collectable, but possibly for different reasons. Once just about anything becomes "collectable" the future...

Using proceeds from investments to help supplement large purchases are fine as long as you are also putting enough money away for retirement. If your just using retirement funds to supplement your lifestyle while still working, your playing a dangerous game. Sure, you can hit the lotto, but...

Congrats, Love my blue accent interior w/Tux Black. Looks like it has the optional wheels too.

I tend to care for and hang on to most all my vehicles, so I don't expect my Raptor to be any different. I think SCAB's will have a future "desirability". Even now, the short box versions of most classic trucks are valued higher and more sought after. To me, they are just a little more sporty...

I Hydro Dipped my hood vents in a gold carbon fiber pattern. Kind of a silkscreen in water process. That was six years ago, I don't think the guy is around anymore but someone probably still does it. It's held up well.

Never had a problem with mine, but I bought the kit and relocated 27 anyway. It's a simple fix, committing the time to do it was the hardest part. It's easy to stuff it off when there is no problem, but if it does happen leaving you stranded, it can become a larger fix as others have said, plus...

Which ECU connectors did you clean exactly. Can you take a couple pics?

Is the difference due to the higher octane of the premium or a lack of ethanol in it? I've never been on board with the whole ethanol B/S. I run premium in my bike, but use non-ethanol regular in everything else from the mower to the Raptor. I guess I'm lucky it's still available in the...

My last truck was silver and my current one is Black. I really like both colors. Silver is more refined and elegant, Black is more sinister and bad-ass. To me, it takes as much time to clean regardless of color. Silver takes more grime and dirt before it begins to appear in need of a wash. Black...
