    $33k for Gen 1 OR $43k for Gen 2?

    Sure, but it’s a consideration. And I can only take expansion joints so fast!

    NO LONGER AVAILABLE: 2017 Raptor Avalanche Grey 802A with 15k in upgrades

    Yeah especially if you can’t claim a sales tax credit on private sales. FL has a dumb rule on that so trading it saved me $3-4K on sales tax on the replacement vehicle.

    2023 Ford Raptor vs 2024 Ford Raptor

    I remember not liking the Gen 2s when they came out. They grew on me. I’m sure the 24s will do the same.

    Prospective gen 2 owner

    I wish all raptors came with the Recaros or at least a hell of a lot more were made with them.

    $33k for Gen 1 OR $43k for Gen 2?

    If it hasn’t been said already, a 2017 will have the plastic oil pan. Even if it replaced following the TO exactly, it’ll probably end up leaking again. Mine was replaced at 20K and began slowly leaking again around 55K. But it was still a great driving truck with no other issues. Unless you...

    Engine is shot - Built 3.5 or V8 Swap

    I think you’ll have way less anxiety driving it with the RMB over a swap. Especially on long trips.

    NO LONGER AVAILABLE: 2017 Raptor Avalanche Grey 802A with 15k in upgrades

    Looks like a good price to me. Vroom offered me $43500 for my ‘17 SCAB with 66K, same color but no sunroof. Plus I only had aftermarket wheels, bedrug, and exhaust. GLWS.

    2023 Ford Raptor R 4900 Miles Avalanche Grey 130K

    Almost sad that a $130K price caught my eye because it wasn’t $150… GLWS, it’s a slick truck

    New Venomrex 601BL Bronze 17x9 Wheels

    Just put a set of these on my wife’s Yukon. Good looking wheel for sure.

    What is your buffer of choice?

    I use a Cyclo. Covers a lot of ground, comfortable, and easy to use. Doesn’t have the super high RPMs though. But it’s nice not really worrying about burning through a finish. Plus, you can buy bristle heads to clean carpet and upholstery.

    Special Considerations upgrading Scab 802a?

    I have an 8” and amp behind the rear seat. Aftermarket speakers all around with dynamat makes a dramatic difference.

    How many miles are on them?

    BFG KM3 or Toyo RT?

    My KM3s have done well, no complaints here. Looks and performance in the same package. As far as them getting noisy over time, I have about 15K on mine and they sound like a 35” off-road tire on pavement. Some ambient noise is just the cost of doing business with a Raptor. If someone wants a...

    Those that ceramic coated ...

    yep. A little goes a long way with it. I was able to do 2 full coats on my wife’s Yukon XL with one bottle.

    Those that ceramic coated ...

    If you have a garage and arent afraid of some work, do it yourself. I bought Adams graphene ceramic coating on sale for $75. Wash, clay, and polish took the morning, applying the ceramic took less time that waxing. If you have to buy a polisher, you’ll still be paying only about 30% of what a...

    2nd Application of Adams Ceramic Spray Wax

    I’ve got the ceramic spray on the Raptor and the graphene coating on my wife’s Yukon. They’ve been on close to 2 months I think. Washed the trucks the other day and both were spotless in no time. All the grime just wiped right off and after hand drying and a little of Adams CS3, they looked...

    Wishful Thinking...

    Am I the only person who wishes trucks still came with split bench seats up front? I have no need for these massive center console like in the Raptor. I’d much prefer the option of a 60/40 bench like my old SRT10 had (still had center storage too). Then, those of us with 6-person families could...
