TRADE 018 FOR 020? OR HOLD OUT FOR GEN3?

I traded my '18 for an equally equipped '20. Couple factors that made it worthwhile for me:

1. I was able to sell my '18 for $63,000 in 1 day after listing it locally on craigslist. It had 40,000 not-so-easy miles, driven properly in the desert durning it's relatively short tenure. It had a few nice upgrades, but nothing too significant.

2. I was able to find the EXACT truck I wanted at invoice locally here in California; the delta was less than $5k.

For me, getting into a fresh truck with 0 miles was more enticing than considering the upgrades of an '18 over a '20 — they're minimal. Considering the early model issues the Gen 1 and 2 had, I intend to keep this truck at least until a slight refresh is done on the Gen3 and the hysteria and subsequent ADM's have been eschewed, and I'll likely get a new truck then. If those criteria resonate with you at all I'd say go for it. However, if you're simply trading a great condition, low-mileage '18 for a '20 based on FLV alone, yeah, not really worth it.

Was this recent? Do you mind sharing where you purchased a 2020 Raptor at invoice in California?

That's old news. It is confirmed to have a 14.6L W16 Quad turbo with a carbon fiber nano block with heads made out of unobtanium.
