Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum and was looking for a bit of advice so I wanted to reach out to some of you seasoned Raptor owners. Thank you in advance for your time and any help you can provide.
First and foremost, what are your thoughts on a used 2013 SVT Raptor with 71k miles @ about $36K? It's a terrain one without the graphics and comes with a Corsa Extreme Exhaust and Air Raid cold air intake. I'm preferably looking for a terrain one without graphics; and my idea was to put the Corsa Exhaust on, set at mid-perch, add a bed cover, add Open Country Toyo tires, and KMC Delta wheels. I also live on the Outer Banks of NC so conditions are harsh out here especially without a garage. I already know I'm going to undercoat the truck more than likely every 6 months to prevent rust, however the rain is just as bad because it's more or less salt water. When it's moist outside you get a salt film layer on your vehicle. Just a few questions:
1. Is that too many miles for a used 2013 Raptor?
2. Let's say the truck was taken care of well, any issues I may run into maintenance wise?
3. What other preventive measures should I take besides undercoating? Ceramic coating? Engine protection?
Thank you everyone for any help!!!
