    Oil Consumption

    No. Seriously, from the poster's own experiences, plus now having said they found more instances of the same thing..... a smart steward of their finances would not go down the path of owning one.

    Super crew, or scab? What options? You are probably looking at 18%-20% less than MSRP.

    Oil Consumption

    So why would you want to buy a raptor with the ecoboost if you are already familiar with problems?

    Grinding noise on startup 2017 3.5L Raptor

    Or, it's indicative of a widespread problem... Maybe why they have redesigned the cam phasers again? I am surprised you would think this acceptable.

    Kooks DP, AFE intake, tubo adapters, SP 542 plugs and coolant temp question

    It's the hotter ambient. Drive it for a few days, the re-check. You may also have to burp the system some more.

    Dealer Won't Replace Grille Shutter That Fell Out?

    This should not stop you from driving. Just have it fixed when you get back home.

    COBB tuning Raptor tune

    So if mpt is a weak tune, and the others don't solve the drivability issues, what else is there? Stay stock, or just go with a pedal Commander to fix the drivability?

    GEN 2 Startup Rattle and Front Hub Grinding

    Good thing so many spoke up about the cam phaser rattle. Without that, Ford wouldn't be redesigning them right now. Hopefully they get it right this time... But they are on at least the third attempt.

    Grinding noise on startup 2017 3.5L Raptor

    Probably better if you Google "ecoboost cold start rattle". Listen to all those videos and you will get the idea. Ford has revised cam phasers at least twice e now and they have another design coming soon to address current problems. Also, definitely take to the dealer and show them the...

    Grinding noise on startup 2017 3.5L Raptor

    Sounds more like cam phaser rattle. Is this only on cold start?

    GEN 2 Startup Rattle and Front Hub Grinding

    The timing chain was never the root of the problem. Once the cam phasers rattled and broke, the result was a stretched chain. And, no, the problem was never corrected. Ford has redesigned cam phasers at least twice before and they have a "new" version coming soon to address the latest issues.

    Buying used 2017 Raptor sight unseen - Advice?

    100% correct with that. Get the Oasis to verify it wasn't one of the Lemon Law'ed / buy-backs. Purchasing sight unseen is a risk, but if the deal is ok and you have fluff in it for any corrections, then go for it.
