[QUOTE="R4pterObsessed, post: 1375369, member: 35078"] Answers Below: The Raptor will become as you said a 'glorified street queen'. I don't have a need to pull anything either. The most hauling I'll be doing is random large items from the store if they fit or my mountain bike which I'll attach with a tow hitch bike rack. I know the gas sucks. My Civic Hatchback lease gets 38MPG and I'm prepared for 13MPG. That's why price is key for me. Oddly enough the insurance on a Gen 1 is the same as my Civic lease now so that's a wash at least. It's just the fuel that will cost me more (and the payment of course). Your feedback on the colored interiors makes me feel sooo much better because it's rare to find one with them. Good to know they fade easily. I'll remote that from my search criteria then. Regarding the dash layout … I wasn't aware the dash layout changed in the Gen 1 and 2013+ had SYNC3, projector headlights, and updated frame. Did anything else happen in later years beyond 2013 before the 2017 Gen 2 came out? One curveball question for you that you didn't reply on … What's the maintenance cost on these? I read I need to rebuild the shocks every 70K or so but are there any other costs that come up I need to be aware of outside of oil changes and regular fluid flushes as recommended?

I'm so used to 100,000 miles on an American made car is a lot so seeing Raptors with 75,000 miles is even scary knowing I'll have close to 200,000 when it's paid off most likely.
