[QUOTE="Jimster58, post: 1136003, member: 20520"] Bought mine at 103K miles - inspected and everything was in great shape with just a few caveats. Tires will likely need replacing in 6-8 months; shocks will need a rebuild at the first opportunity, but still ok; rear window/mirror defrost inoperative; TPS warning goes off once in a while with good tire pressure, but will attend to that when new tires are installed; parking brake pedal doesn't fully activate the switch when released. Mostly annoyances and easily resolved when I get the time to take care of them. This thread helps provide a very useful heads-up as to what to potentially expect. Many thanks! Not being the first owner of my truck, I don't know the maintenance history aside from what CarFax records...not an infallable source. With the abundance of feedback on these trucks available on this forum - a high mileage Raptor purchase after you've done your research should be pretty concern-free. I waited almost a year while seriously looking for just the right opportunity and in the end, was rewarded by my effort with a very affordable, no accidents, and rare opportunity to get a fully-loaded 2013 for a great price. With all I had learned here about how well these trucks stand the test of time/miles and what to look for, I didn't hesitate. [/QUOTE]
