    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    Damn, first registration was September 2018, so it could go both ways... Thanks! Yes, I meant that I considered a (brand new) 2020 first but unfortunately they're all sold out, and the only decent used one with no more than +50k km (35k mi) I can find is this 2018. No 2019's available. I...

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    In their defense it's not a Ford dealer (more of a used 'exclusive' higher end cars kind of dealership) and they probably don't even know if it's supposed to be like this or have 2 decals. Thank you for the input! I assumed it might've started to peel off or something, or I don't know, maybe...

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    Yup, I'll ask them. Was a little hesitant because don't want them to do it wrong and add swirl marks, but I guess they're professional so they probably know what they're doing! Thanks! Thank you, great observation!! I didn't even think about that. However, he did give me the report card (if...

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    @smurfslayer thank you!!! Yes, it's the decal above the rear wheels. I like the look on both sides but I guess I'd take the other one off, if it doesn't leave a mark... I think the 2018 decals look slightly different compared to the 2020 I've seen. Here's a pic from there website where the...

    2018 vs 2020 Raptor

    Hey guys Little backstory you don't need to read: Last month I made my first post on here because I considered a brand new Raptor. I got great advice from the awesome forum members on here! Thank you so much!! I got second doubts when the dealer told me it'd take 3 months (emission taxes are...

    Smart to buy 2nd Gen now?

    Oh for real? Do they have a different appliqué that spells "F O R D" for the LOBO and F150? When I first saw it, it just really looked like they glued the LOBO badge over where the F150 one should go, because it's so huge and sticks out like that. But if it's actually removable, it'll look...

    Smart to buy 2nd Gen now?

    Actually, I do! It honestly looks like a badge that might come off with some fishing wire, but I'm curious about what's hiding underneath. F150's in Europe usually say "F-150" and it looks like the logo kind of blends into the platic panel on the tailgate (if that's how you say it). Like...

    Smart to buy 2nd Gen now?

    I (luckily) don't live in Germany, but we do have cobblestone roads for aesthetics and to keep people from speeding. This dealer is actually located on a cobblestone road, haha! And the Raptor handled it like a unibody car... I was truly amazed. My RAM felt like it was rattling all over the...

    Smart to buy 2nd Gen now?

    @smurfslayer Thank God gas prices aren't that high, yet :D It's more like 5 USD / gal for 95 RON, our lowest grade (about 91 AKI in the U.S.), but I totally get your point. The funny part is, this was a dealer with nothing but trucks. I looked it up and they do Ford trucks, RAM and Toyota mid...

    Smart to buy 2nd Gen now?

    Thanks guys for taking the time to reply to my crazy long post and thank you for the warm welcome!! Feel right at home! I wrote this last night real quick because I had a test drive scheduled today. Unfortunately, they just called to tell me they don't have any Raptors left. I went to take a...

    Smart to buy 2nd Gen now?

    Hi, I'm new here and am looking for a new truck. I posted on another forum as well and got to talk with a very nice Raptor owner, but am wondering if someone can help me with the questions I have. I'm planning on keeping whatever truck I buy now for a pretty long time, so I'd like to figure out...
