New Ranger Raptor....

[got3fords]

My 2019 lariat fx4 msrp was 44k my 2025 raptor was 57k. Allot of truck for 13k more 6 years later. Plus should hold its value if well maintained. I got 25k trade in for my 2019.

That seems really good for '19. How many miles were on it?
There's a '25 Raptor at my dealership that's marked $800 under MSRP. But it's white with all the stupid graphics.

Look but don't drive, there will be no looking back if you do‍

Yeah, that'll never happen. lol If I see one I'll have to drive it and then I'm all done so it's best for me to stay away from the dealers. I honestly don't "need" one but would really like one but honestly I'm wanting a comfortable car right now more than another truck. So, I must resist!

72k miles and I looking at having to deal with a 10r80 tear down and be out of my truck for a month plus rental car fees as Ford does not provide rental while doing diagnosis and 10 days under repair. Also it was close to needing tires and brakes all the way around.
It was in great shape and very well maintained otherwise. I think 25k was fair.

Graphics are easy to take off, I litterly pull off my fx4 decal a year after buying it. My Raptor decal will be short lived.

The truck I traded in was way more truck than I needed, but the Raptor is just stupid excess of greatness.

But I feel 20 years younger and its just money right? interestingly the car I traded in for my 2019 was a supercharged 2016 gt pp Mustang which was a seriously excess in stupid power.

I get where you are coming from though.

I cannot wait to see what this truck will be liked tuned.

I say you did quite well then, especially with pending trans issues. I'm at a little over 76k, My recent Carfax email said it's worth 22k.

With a factory installed tailgate dampner ...the sky is the limit Sir

I got one on my 6G Ranger from the factory. I was thinking of taking it off and sending it to scorp ….

The dealership actually appraised it several months ago when I had it serviced and gave me the 25k in writing. Of

I did not even know it had one. I open the tailgate and I thought there was something wrong. It may get removed before the raptor decals.

Guess I'm strange. I've driven a ranger raptor and a full size raptor, loved them both but the price and then the insurance stops me dead in my tracks. Right now my wife is 1 year from retirement. If I get a raptor she doesn't get to retire for another 3-4 years. I'm ready for her to retire so we can travel that stops me dead in my tracks. So enjoy your raptor, I don't guess I'll get one.

Wait one minute! They charge more to insure a Raptor? Is it significant?

Is the new tailgate heavier than the 5G?

Congratulations, Todd. Ranger Raptors are nice, but I love my 2019.
