[QUOTE="Crashtest22, post: 1888136, member: 65687"] Hey crew, I have been lurking here for a few days after I found this place looking for things to look for on a used raptor. 45 years old and I remember when the Raptor came out. Always saw them and wanted one. Been racing cars for a long time and my boss also so I needed a tow rig that could carry 10k lbs. Had my 05 F250 6.0 Crew SD since 2008 and have done all kinds of stuff to the motor/turbo/injectors/tuning and so on. I now only tow a boat to the lake so around 6k lbs. Finally decided I don't need the F250 anymore but needed to still be able to tow and then remembered the Raptor. I guess I was about 35 when I first saw one...damn time flies... Anyhow over the last week or so I have searched almost the whole interwebs and there was one that kept bringing me back.. I decided I wanted a Gen 1 because MERICA!!! and the 6.2, other reasons were budget. Didn't want to get into a 50-60k loan. So back to that one that kept brining me back. Yeah it's not the cheapest, Yeah it's got more miles than some, Yeah I gotta fly to pick it up. But...It kept me coming back.... So to make a long story a bit longer. I spoke with the owner on the phone. He bought it new in 2013 and it was basically a commuter between San Diego and AZ. Only saw 4x4 at the boat ramp, and has never really seen offroad. She has just over 152k on her and I am flying down to bring her home either this Thursday or next Tuesday. I am super pumped and hope to keep her for years to come... Also excited to be part of this community... I am located in Santa Cruz Ca #bayarea-ish James [/QUOTE]
