I just sold my 2017 SCREW taking advantage of this ridiculous market and picked up a 2010 SCAB - one owner all history with 119k miles. So far very happy with the truck.

I was in the same situation a few months ago and went with a 17. I bought one 17 site unseen and it was delivered with a bad turbo, and can phasers. The dealership gave me my $ back and I found another 17 I purchased. That being said, I looked at gen 1 and gen 2, but am notoriously thrifty and...

If buying used, the warranty cost is typically around 1k per year and 12k miles per year. I recently purchased a 17 and paid a little under 3 k for a 3/36 warranty. Flood ford is great, but not applicable to cars over a certain mileage.

RVA here. Bought a 2017 last month and love it. Would love to get together with other owners in the area.

Thanks- unfortunately my budget forces me into 17/18 years.

Question- how common is the cam phaser issue. This is my first EB experience, Love the raptor design, but slightly nervous about diving into another(likely will). Lots of mixed messages on all the boards so would love to hear from someone from Ford. Looking at auto trader, the # of buy backs...

That is some great info. I reviewed standard/ consistent maintenance from the original owner, but the most recent service included turbo, sunroof tracks, hoses etc for turbo replacement. The fact the same turbo went bad within 2 months is likely workmanship, and I agree iwe is a simple fix. The...

Just bought a 2017 which was delivered to me sounding like a diesel. It was only with me for 6 days before it went into the shop- bad turbo, cam phasers, potentially IWE, and a shuttering. The truck has now been at the shop for 3 weeks, with parts on back order with expected delivery in 1-2...

I bought it from a ford dealer Via the internet. Not many used raptors near me. I am also new to eco boost, and never dreamed of anything like this. I have owned 30+ vehicles, many bought sight unseen, this is the first major issue I have run into, outside of project vehicles I have bought...

Dealer got back to me end of last week and confirmed phasers are bad, and the turbo which was replaced before my purchase is bad, and possibly IWE. Parts were ordered last Friday with expected urgent delivery tomorrow. They hope to have it back to me end of next week but I am not holding my...

5 year 60 is still in effect, and I purchased an extended through 75k, now thinking I may need through 100k

Thank you. I think your are right, just don’t want to deal with this again.

Alright, need the experts input. I bought a 2017 with 51k miles, one owner, all history etc. It sounded like a diesel on delivery and am now learning it has cam phaser issue, likely IWE, and a bad turbo. The dealer is being great, but should I try and have them take it back? How reliable is the...
