I just added them a month or so ago. Yes, gen juan.

Should have set the ebrake so the red brake lights were not interfering. Doh!

Yes, takes ten minutes to swap them out. I'm not much of a photographer, but jumped in the truck and took one for you. My driveway is at least 75ft long for ref. It's not like having a light bar, but I see really well when backing at night on a long driveway. Hth.

I live on acreage with a super long driveway as well. Installed these and brightened things up plenty: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLNM954J/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

Looking for a black or terrain first gen Screw Raptor, I'm located in Central Texas. I prefer a factory Roush truck, but am open to others. Main thing I am after is one that is clean, with absolutely zero rust. Should not be hard to come by in my area, but thought it should be noted. Willing to...

Congrats! Would love to find a factory roush with those miles for that price!! I have not had much luck

Sent you a msg, might have one in Texas for you

I don't really disagree with you on the merits of the gen 2 and 3's. But they are not the original's. They are both still riding the depreciation curve. The gen 1 might still be, but if so does not have far to go. Nostalgia and supply/demand is a thing. It might be all for not before either of...

A Terminator Cobra is on my list of cars I would like to own. They came out while I was in College, no way I could swing one. I probably should have bought one a few years ago, values have shot up on them recently.

@FordTechOne I own and daily drive a gen 3, so have only ever used those forums until now. I have always enjoyed you as a poster, and value your opinion. I think you might be getting a little fired up on this first gen thread though. I've never indicated the Gen 1 is the better truck. I also...

Funny enough, I can't remember.

They do pay the price it was when it was ordered. When it didnt get built, Ford made the dealer put in another order at the next model years pricing. ADM is BS, but you agreed to that before. Other than the ADM, the dealer isnt ******** you. It's Ford that is sticking it to you.

That seems well under market value. It does appear you can get a nice one in the mid to upper 40's though. Almost half the price of a 3rd gen. 1st gen pricing is holding pretty strong, and not far from the 2nd gen pricing for like mileage trucks.

I agree the market will normalize. But I'm not sure R's will be 30k off. Raptors in general have never had to be marked down much from MSRP. The ADM crap will stop, and is already slowing. Hope you are right though, I would love to buy an R for 80k!!!

I would echo some of what has already been said. For these specific motors, it's most important to change the oil at closer intervals. Plenty of motors can go 10k plus mile OCI's easily, and the oil analysis shows it. The 3.5 boost shears oil, and is terribly hard on it. If you are looking at...
