Trading in 2023 XLT for 2026 Raptor.. questions

[TheExtra404]

I bought a 2026 RR a few weeks ago. Love it other than the 17 mpg and too many things are on the screen. Needs more regular button controls. I bought a hard tonneau off amazon that said it fit 19-21 rangers and doesn't fit the 26 RR. I bought it anyway since the price was so low and it fits and seals but doesn't follow the the corners on the fender perfect but it's good enough for me.

for $230 delivered it works.

I got the same cover for my 22 Tremor. Its been on 24/7 for almost 4 years no issues with it.

My g5 tonneau cover fit my g6 ranger. I did have to make modifications to the cover. Longer bolts. Your stuff should fit, but not perfect and with modifications. You will have to take off the bed rails and make all kinds of mods so water does not leak in. Trust me, look at you tu e there is a video about it, they leak all kinds of water in with covers.
You should also ha e no problems towing 3500 lbs. Rr is made different and that made for off road is all the difference you need for towing. I do believe the rr has a different rear end as well. Not 3.73 or 7.73 or whatever the gearing for the regular ranger is. I cant remeber right now. But you will be fine for towing at that rate.

Wait. What? You pay federal and state tax on the residual from the sale of a private vehicle, as if it was income?

Capital gains tax on your principle residence?

I sold an income property and the real estate commission also counted against the capital gain. Woohoo!

That too! I did that too with both my house in MA and added a few "extras" to the AR house.

I've paid enough in taxes being self employed for 36 years I'm getting everything back that I can now!

I just take these stickers and put on everything I buy or sell. There's this address you write to in Minnesota and ....

I have money to waste

 

[ppfd]

In terms of money, I won't disclose my occupation, but my income is 7 figures. Money isn't a problem. I love my 2023 XLT, but after test driving a Raptor I love the power! I just don't want to get rid of a perfectly good truck for no reason. I don't want an F150, too big.

Dude, if you’re making a million dollars a year, why are you even asking if you should buy the truck? Buy it and keep your present one if you’re making 7 figures.

I mean every new vehicle post, the buyer paid cash or ”makes a lot of money so they can afford it.”

Me, I’m just poor white trash working on retirement #2. I hate spending money. Especially on vehicles.

You don’t have money wasting it on crap you don’t need no matter how much you make. I can buy a raptor with two weeks of income but it doesn’t mean you just spend money.

Easy rich guy, I really don't care what you make or how you spend it.
Just find it funny you won't disclose your career but need to let us know you make 7 figures. If made that money I wouldn't be asking strangers should I buy a truck I can pay off in 2 weeks.

I'm just retired firefighter and now prison nurse. And I never made "7 figures" .

Nothing as unbecoming as a braggart.

But I'm sure the truck is pretty.

Take out an other loan the bank is ready. Pay 90k for a 59k truck.

You have NO clue what anyone here makes or how they fund their purchases! I've learned one thing over my (almost) 62 years on this earth that is when someone brags about how much they have, they usually DON'T have it! If you do, then you should maybe buy yourself a personality because no one cares!

Glad you posted that I think the majority on here felt the same way. By most of the post on here I would bet the majority of members are or were hard working blue collar middle class baby boomers.

You're right Jeff most here are hard working (mostly) blue collar workers who just enjoy their truck and have fun in life. There are several who are "above average" but never felt the need to gloat about it, belittle or rub it in another face. That's one thing that makes this forum special and different from others out there. Plus I have very little patience for arrogance.

I’ve got so much money as a retiree working a second job, I just paid cash for a new pack of underwear.

Whoa!

I get my underwear on Amazon where I can get the 6 pack for 6 easy monthly payments at 0% interest.
