I’ll be in the market for a 2014 raptor roush towards the end of this year. My question is given the transmission problems, Should I go ahead and get a high mileage vehicle and replace the trans or try to find a low mileage and take care of it until it calls for replacement?

Oh god.....fto....don't explode lol...some people generalize and use infinite words and don't really mean it lol.

I have a 2014..the only transmission issue wasn't an issue it was a recall for programming to keep the truck from possibly going from 6th to 1st gear...had that done..called 5 star tune...gave them the information they asked for..they did what they do..I tuned my truck again..and have 0 issues with mine....138k miles btw.

Thanks I needed this feedback. YouTube gave me bad information I guess

Any common major repair I should be aware of before I purchase based on mileage?

Ok thanks for the input. I did hear about the leaking sunroof. Would it be worth taking the risk and repairing later or should I avoid the sunroof altogether? Honestly want to get a fully loaded Roush, If I can locate one in general.

I have a sunroof.....0 issues either. A lot is going to depend on the previous owner and how they treated the truck. When I bought mine I did basic maintenance and the shocks . Sunroof I cleaned the guide rails and lubricated them. My truck was a one owner and an old man who never did anything with the truck.

I have a 2014 Roush 170k The previous owner took Pretty good care of it service wise. I wouldn't be afraid... all you may have to do is fix it. If you are capable of doing your own repair. go for it.
