Hi all,

Been lurking for a while and first post. I’m looking into trading in my focus ST to get a raptor now that I’ve got 2 kids, can’t fit 2 car seats and the wife comfortably. Gen 3 style doesn’t do it for me like gen 2 and love the v8 of gen 1 but style and tech less so.

Anyway long story short my question is, with the insanity in the used market right now does anyone anticipate the gen 3 release affecting gen 2 market? Also, s there an issue with 2017 gen 2s specifically? I’ve seen plenty with reasonable mileage that are only like $7-8k more than a gen 1 with 40k more miles. I’ve seen some stuff about the plastic oil pans but is that worth such a big price difference with the 2019s all in the $65k range?

Welcome to FRF.

If you can put eyes on the oil pan area and it is both 1) not leaking and 2) not recently cleaned / wiped down, it’s probably not a current or future issue at this point. Something like 95% were not a problem. same thing with cam phaser park issue.

The major ‘improvement’ on the ‘19+ was the addition of the Fox live valve shocks.

Worth it is subjective and only you can make that call. None of us can accurately predict the new truck/used truck market right now because of the overall component, part and new vehicle shortage.

Wait wait wait a few more months and prices will drop, but then again so will the price of your current ride.
