    GEN 2 Rant: Why is the gen 3 so ugly?? Passing up a free chance to upgrade

    I can only get 18 MPG at around 55 to 60 MPH with not much stopping in my Gen 2. Usually, average high 16 for city and highway. But getting the opportunity to go to a 37 Raptor I think the looks will grow on you and the resale value will also be very good for years to come.

    Best Way/Place to Sell Raptor?

    Depends on what state you live in. In Texas you get credit for the trade in, and the trade in credit reduces the sales tax owed on the new vehicle sales tax. Many time it works out must better to trade in that to sell private party.

    Carbon Fiber

    My third son Kevin does the 3M film. Hood and rear was easy but fenders take lot of time. You have to be very careful to make sure the pattern in the same angle from side view. There are two films available the flat or the gloss that look very similar to the truck hood above.
