[QUOTE="smurfslayer, post: 1356093, member: 21926"] First off, check the post history of those you get answers from here. You’ve already gotten one answer from someone who doesn’t even own a Raptor. Second, there used to be a long running thread along the lines of “post all your 2017 problems here”. It was in the early 2017 era, and had a lot of the initial issues found. Out of all the registered users here, how many have actually had the cam phaser issue? The problem is you get the problem and it becomes your blinding obsession and you shout from the tallest yardarm about it. The confirmation bias is strong here. Normally, I would run for the hills from a “buyback” truck, but the only thing that sticks out for me is that Ford uses an inventory virtualization. That is, the parts show as existing somewhere in inventory, but they aren’t actually there. They’re ordered from whatever supplier and as you can imagine, this creates a cr@p ton of delay if you need a major repair requiring hard parts. You could go 4-6 weeks just waiting on parts, and that easily busts the lemon law time limit. So you could be buying a truck that had one issue, took too long to fix and Ford bought it back... OR it could be something with sporadic electrical gremlins that will never be fixed... or somewhere in between. We’ve got users on here who bought used ’17’s maybe they’ll chime in. I bought mine new. [/QUOTE]
