[QUOTE="Old-Raptor-guy, post: 1805280, member: 52062"] Well there is an old saying. "Never buy the first year" With that I normally purchase the last year or at least well into a product cycle. 7.3 PSD F350 10 months before 6.0 production began SHO 2 years before production ended, but the chasis had been around for 10 years and the drive train for 7. The 2015-2018 F150(including 2017-2018 Raptor) had quite a few issues. Ford tried some things and some of those things did not work so well. Most notably cam phasers and the plastic lower oil pan. Just a few weeks ago after a 6ish month search I purchased a 2020 Raptor. It was built about 45 days before the switch to the 2021 model. It has the one piece aluminum oil pan and I believe the latest cam phasers (I believe most 2019's have these as well). I would have a hard time buying a used vehicle with 90k on the odometer, but that is me. I run a repair shop and we definitely work on a lot of 2015-2018 F150s (2017 seems to be the worst) but we work on a lot of everything. [/QUOTE]
