    What's up with Gen 2 prices recently?

    Raptor price increase is minimal compared to real estate and luxury watches. Rolex Daytona’s retail for $13k and on second hand market for $35-40k and real estate in CA has gone up 15-30% on median price of $672k, so $100k-150k appreciation in just a year. All this government stimulus money is...

    Am I paying to much

    Why not buy a new truck and ship it to HI? It is your money, but you’re paying more money for a 2-3 year old truck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    I purchased from 2008-2014 and just cash flowing. I prefer not to sit on cash as it needs to work. I’m buying silver, gold, and cryptocurrency. Like Ray Dalio says, “Cash is trash.” Buffet’s Berkshire is sitting on $150 B in cash and many institutional investors as well. The talk in the...

    How did you come to afford your raptor?

    I served 8 years in the Army and when you’re sent to war zones, then you start to question your life decisions. I read up on successful people (Kiyosaki, Trump, etc.) and found a common connection was they built their wealth through real estate. I bought a rental property after getting out in...

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    I doubt gen 2 owners will get the Gen 3, unless they do bring the Raptor R with the V8. Hope they drop the GT500 supercharged engine into the truck. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    I just picked up a Camaro SS 1LE and they warranty the car even for track days. I saw a YouTube video of this guy tracking his car and overrev the motor past 7k and it toasted the pistons. Chevy picked up the tab for everything. I call that standing behind your product. The dealers here in...

    Gen 2 Raptors values starting to climb.

    I had vrooom offered $55k for my 18 with 20k miles. I was debating on trading to get a ZL1 1LE, but instead got a SS 1LE. It is an absolute monster. 6.2L 455 hp/455 tq. in a 3700 lb. car. I find myself driving the Camaro more, but maybe it is just because it is new. The Raptor I don’t have...

    Raptors built during COVID

    I have an 18 Raptor and the only issue was they sprayed excess bed liner on the roof of the truck. I only knew about this once I got the ceramic pro coating and ppf put on the truck, but I had no issue since it is extra protection right (maybe birthmark). I’ve driven it like I stole since day...

    Transfer Case Imploded (apparently)

    Guess it all depends on the dealership. I recall getting an oil change for a Nissan Pathfinder and the dealership said that they need to rebuild the transmission. I was 120 miles away from the house traveling and asked them if it was ok to take it to a dealership closer to home and they said...

    2018 w/ 10k miles. Hard 4th to 5th shift?

    I have an 18 with 18k miles and the 4-5 has always been rough. Sometimes when driving around in the city it won’t shift out of gear. I bought the extended warranty and not worried about the reliability especially after attending the Raptor Assault course in Utah and taking one of their 19s...

    GEN 2 Let the Big Dogs Run...

    I’m wondering how you were able to do 90+ and get 17.9 mpg. I usually average 80 and average is 14 mpg for my truck. I may need a tune, but then again I’m on crappy CA 91. I haven’t seen a Raptor wave either and I see a ton here in CA, maybe a TX thing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    When is a good time to get a raptor?

    Anytime because life is more than driving a Prius. Also make sure to attend Raptor Assault as it is truly impressive the capabilities of these trucks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Help!!! W.O.T. rattle/noise at 5200 rpm, Second Lemon Law

    Ive wide open throttled the truck in sport mode since day one and use Costco 91. No strange noises except the hard upshift from 3-4, 5-6. Sometimes I get strange clunking noise when slowing down and transmission seems confused that I’m slowing down. I got the flood warranty so will drive it...

    GEN 2 2014 Tundra 1794 w/TRD SP or 2019 Raptor?

    Never had a desire for a Tundra and own a Raptor. Buy the 19 or 20 Raptor and attend the Raptor Assault course in Utah. The only Toyota I’d get is a Landcruiser. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Buying out of state

    Taxes were killer writing a $7k check, but the truck is fun and practical. People that live in Oregon or Montana don’t pay any vehicle tax. The wonderful state of Comifornia taxing us to death and trying to restrict our gun rights. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Buying out of state

    I got maintenance package and extended warranty from Flood Ford for the same price the dealer was trying to sell me just the extended warranty. I showed them Floods pricing, but they said they couldn’t match it or beat it. I think they were trying to sell a third party warranty. Sent from my...

    Finally an Honest Ram Owner

    I never appreciated the Raptor more than jumping it at 40mph with all 4 wheels and my feet off the ground. I highly recommend the Raptor Assault course or taking it through whoops at speed. It probably would have been cheaper to get a RZR1000, but I can drive this truck to work, get groceries...
