[QUOTE="RaptorFan1988, post: 1888246, member: 48715"] For me, the tailgate applique was a must-have as it's a hallmark of the Raptor's styling, but I also see the appeal of a cleaner truck. To add that on later would put you out the cost of a color matched tailgate ($2000+ probably) as you can't apply the applique to a non-applique tailgate. You will also likely have some difficulty sourcing one that matches your color due to availability. There are some aftermarket options which I can't speak to, but I do know they exist if that's something that interests you. I would get the 21 for a few reasons: 1) It has more mileage, but it's also cheaper and you could possibly negotiate more. 30K isn't exactly a lot of miles and if you can get your hands on some service records you could have peace of mind. 2) The 21s have a few very small details that may interest you that the 22s don't (ambient lighting in some spots, digital temp display on knobs instead of screen). This is a double edged sword though as the 21s don't have the R button on the steering wheel, but it's nothing you can't just do with an extra button press on a 21 so no loss of functionality. 3) It has your applique that will be costly adding it back on later and add some complication to your buying process. The 5K difference may as well become a 7-8k difference in price when all is said and done in addition to the headache of sourcing. Either way you can't lose - I see pros and cons for both. I don't think you'll be disappointed either way. These trucks are phenomenal. [/QUOTE]
